21 tips for life - from my email inbox

I'm in the middle of trying to clean out my email inbox because I have so many stupid college newsletters coming in that I can't seem to find ANYthing... So I decided it was time to whip it into shape! While I was doing that, though, I discovered this cool email from my friend Michal. It was a forward, and I'm not sure where she got it from, but I thought it was good enough to post on here! *smile* If for nothing else so I'LL see it when I browse back through my blogs!

In other news, I'm drowing in paperwork like scholarship, writing essays for my class, housing deposit deadlines, financial aid deadlines, letters and emails and calls from the colleges I've been accepted to, student visa timeline worries, and all other manner of little, important things that need to be done by a certain day... *sigh* Only 5 weeks, though!!!

Here's the forward:

1) Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
2) Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
3) Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
4) When you say, "I love you," mean it
5) When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
6) Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
7) Believe in love at first sight.
8) Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
9) Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
10) In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
11) Don't judge people by their relatives.
12) Talk slowly but think quickly.
13) When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
14) Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
15) Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
16) When you lose, don't lose the lesson
17) Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
18) Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
19) When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
20) Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
21) Spend some time alone.
