Directions For Life

  • Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
  • Memorize your favorite poem.
  • 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.
  • Believe in love at first sight.
  • Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
  • Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
  • In arguments, fight fair.
  • Talk slow but think quick.
  • Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

  • Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
  • Don't let a little disagreement ruin a great friendship.
  • When you realize you've made a mistake, act immediately to fix it.

  • Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

  • Don't trust someone who doesn't close their eyes when you kiss them.
  • Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
  • If you make a lot of money, put it to use helping others while you are living. That is wealth's greatest satisfaction.
  • Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for each other is greater than your need for each other.
  • Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
  • Do not forget that your character is your destiny.
