Life's Instructions - Yasam El kitabi

  1. Have a firm handshake.
  2. Look people in the eye.
  3. Own a great stereo system.
  4. Keep secrets. 
  5. Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
  6. Whistle.
  7. Avoid sarcastic remarks.
  8. Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 per cent of all your happiness or misery.
  9. Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.

  11. When playing games with ! children, let them win.
  12. Give people a second chance, but not a third.
  13. Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.
  14. Don't allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It's there for our convenience, not the caller's.

  16. Be a good winner.
  17. Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
  18. When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.

  21. Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.
  22. Live your life so that your epitaph could read, No Regrets
  23. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
  24. Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those who helped you.
  25. Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.
  26. Visit friends and relatives when they are in hospital; you need only stay a few minutes.
  27. Begin each day with some of your favorite music.
  28. Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.
  29. Make someone's day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind you.
  30. Become someone's hero.
  31. Marry only for love.
  32. Wave at the children on a school bus.
