From the Book - [Rev. ed.]

keep it under your hat

You'll get older but not necessarily wiser

Accept what is done is done

Know what counts and what doesn't

Dedicate your life to something

Be flexible in your thinking

Take an interest in the outside world

Be on the side of the angels, not the beasts

Only dead fish swim with the stream

Be the last to raise your voice

No fear, no surprise, no hesitation, no doubt

I wish I'd done that and I will

Count to ten or recite : baa baa black sheep?

Change what you can change, let go of the rest

Aim to be the very best at everything you do, not second best

Don't be afraid to dream

Don't dwell on the past

Don't live in the future

Get on with life, it's whooshing past

Dress like today is important

Have a belief system

Leave a little space for yourself each day

Have a sense of humour

Choose how you make your bed

Life can be a bit like advertising

Get used to stepping outside your comfort zone

Learn to ask questions

It's ok to feel big emotions

You'll never understand everything

Know where true happiness comes from

Know when to let go, when to walk away

Maintain good manners in all things

Prune your stuff frequently

Remember to touch base

Draw the lines around yourself

Shop for quality, not price

It's ok to worry, or to know how not to

Throwing money at a problem doesn't always work

You are not in charge

Have something in your life that takes you out of yourself

Only the good feel guilty

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Accept the differences, embrace what you have in common

Allow your partner the space to be themselves

You want to do what?

Be the first to say sorry

Go that extra step in trying to please them

Always have someone or something that is pleased to see you

Know when to listen and when to act

Have a passion for your life together

Make sure your love making is making love

Check you both have the same shared goals

Treat your partner better than your best friend

Contentment is a high aim

You don't both have to have the same rules

Family and friends rules

If you are going to be a friend, be a good friend

Never be too busy for loved ones

Let your kids mess up for themselves : they don't need any help from you

Have a little respect and forgiveness for your parents

Give your kids a break

Never lend money unless you are prepared to write it off

There are no bad children

Be up around people you love

Give your kids responsibilities

Your children need to fall out with you to leave home

Your kids will have friends you don't like

Your role as a child

Your role as a parent

We're all closer than you think

It doesn't hurt to forgive

It doesn't hurt to be helpful

Take pride in what we do collectively

What's in it for them?

Hang out with positive people

Be generous with your time and information

Keep the moral high ground

Have a plan for your career

Learn to see your community as part of a bigger picture

Look at the long-term ramifications of what you do for a living

Be aware of the damage you are doing

Be for the glory, not the degradation

Be part of the solution, not the problem

Check what history would say about you

Keep your eyes open at all times

Not everything can be green

Find a new rule every day or occasionally at least.
