I was inspired by a meme I
saw on-line last week; a list of simple rules that everyone should agree
with—anyone with common sense, that is. I fiddled with the wording and added a
rule or two that I thought was missing. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and
enjoy.
1. Live beneath your means.
2. Return everything you
borrow.
3. Stop blaming other people
for your circumstances.
4. Admit when you make
mistakes.
5. Give your used but still
good clothing to charity.
6. Do something nice for
someone without them knowing.
7. Seek to understand before
you seek to be understood. In other words...
8. Listen more; talk less.
9. Walk for 30 minutes every
day.
10. Strive for excellence,
not perfection.
11. Be on time.
12. Don't make excuses.
13. Don't argue.
14. Get organized.
15. Be kind to all people.
16. Be extra kind to unkind
people.
17. Let someone cut ahead of
you in line.
18. Take time to be alone so
you can get to know who you are and what you believe.
20. Be humble.
21. Realize and accept that
life isn't fair.
22. Know when to keep your
mouth shut.
23. Go an entire day without
criticizing anyone.
24. Learn from your past;
plan for your future.
25. Live in the present.
26. Don't sweat the small
stuff; it's all small stuff.
Are there any rules you would
add?
