some words to live by......
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk t o. 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.

NM,
I have the same thing in my collection but there are a few more in addition to what you've given.
TWENTY TWO - Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
TWENTY THREE - Open arms to change but don't let go of your values.
TWENTY FOUR - Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
TWENTY FIVE - Live a good, honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
TWENTY SIX - Loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
TWENTY SEVEN - In disagreements with the loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
TWENTY EIGHT - Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.
TWENTY NINE - Be gentle with the earth.
THIRTY - Once a year go somewhere you've never been before.
THIRY ONE - Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
THIRTY TWO - Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Thank you.. Scorpio, NM, Roshan for your beautiful posts.
Though, I decided many times not to visit FH due to over prevalent animosity, hubbers like you and your contributions always have brought me back.

A small story with very deep meaning..
A scorpion once wanted to cross a rivalet. It did not know swimming. So it requested a frog to carry it across on its back. Frog said " No I won't. because you will sting me and I will die".
Scorpion said " Don't worry, I won't sting you, because if I sting you I will also drown and die"
The frog agreed to carry the scorpion across the river. When the frog was midway, the scorpion stung the frog.
The frog was horrified at the unexpected attack and while drowning it asked the scorpion "Why did you do it.. I will die but you will also die along with me.."
Scorpion replied " I know it is not rational, but it is my nature to sting and I can't go against my nature".
People, with exception of a few enlightened, are like scorpions. They believe, it is their nature and they cannot change, and follow self destructive path.. They think, decide and act irrationally and destroy themselves.

Very True Shekhar!!!
and the most pathetic thing about it is that they say it out that they can never change and give many reasons for being so... without knowing that they are ruining their own wonderful time ahead...

We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.
We might as well dance...
Happiness is a journey... not a destination...

Have you ever thought that when you are angy for a single minute, you are losing 60 seconds of happiness?
