1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

3. Follow the three Rs:
Respect for self
Respect for others
Responsibility for all your actions.

4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

8. Spend some time alone every day.

9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.

10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.

12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.

14. Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.

15. Be gentle with the earth.

16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.

17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.


Just like to address some things:

11. What's considered good and honourable? What are you living for?

12. Where does a loving atmosphere come from? Why should I have a loving foundation for my life?

13. Sure, though the past can be relevant.

14. Who cares when you're dead? I don't think Michael Jackson gives a damn that his songs/albums were #1 downloaded on iTunes after he died.

15. But the Earth is for us to use, isn't it? And why are people vegetarians and vegans when animals are for us to eat, since we're carnivores, too?

16. Why?

17. I honestly don't get this one. But here's one question: Where does love come from?
