    ONE Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

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

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

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

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

    SIX Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

    SEVEN Believe in love at first sight.

    EIGHT Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have
    dreams don't have much.

    NINE Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's
    the only way to live life completely.

    TEN In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

    ELEVEN Don't judge people by their relatives.

    TWELVE Talk slowly but think quickly.

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

    FOURTEEN Remember that great love and great achievements involve
    great risk.

    FIFTEEN Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.

    SIXTEEN When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

    SEVENTEEN Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for
    others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

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

    NINETEEN When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate
    steps to correct it.

    TWENTY Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it
    in your voice.

    TWENTY-ONE Spend some time alone.

    Thank goodness for good buddies, had one just send me this e-mail. I don't what I woulda done without some of this info.


    Subject: Some good advice





    1. If you're choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water
    down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.

    2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone
    else to hold while you chop.

    3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by
    using the sink.

    4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed
    for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a
    timer.

    5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you
    from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

    6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then
    you'll be afraid to cough.

    7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it
    doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct
    tape.

    8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

    Daily Thought: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
    ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS

    If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

    STRESS MANAGEMENT

    A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a
    glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?" Answers
    called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."

    "If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an
    hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

    He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we
    carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes
    increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. As with the glass of
    water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it
    again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

    "So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can." "Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!" [:D]
