Live

Give people more than they expect, willingly.

Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

Don't, believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want.

When you say, "I love you," mean it.

When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.

Get to know each other, before you commit.

Believe in love at first sight.

Never laugh at anyone's dreams.

Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but at least you lived.

In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. (or biting or scratching)

Don't judge people by their relatives. (I know it's tempting)

Talk slowly but think quickly. (Talk slowly, wait for the light to go on in their eyes, talk some more)

When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know that?"

Remember that great love and great achievements involve risk.

Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze. (Ed note - oh, maybe. Optional, at best. Twelve sneezes in a row and you're dead, though, some say)

When you lose, don't lose the lesson

Remember the three R's: Respect for yourself; Respect for others; and responsibility for your actions.

Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

When you realise you've made a mistake, admit to it.

Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will get good energy.

Spend some time alone. Don't be afraid.
