    1. Take into account that great love and great achievements
    involve great risk.

    2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

    3. Follow the three R’s:
    >Respect for self,
    >Respect for others and
    >Responsibility for all your actions.

    4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a
    wonderful stroke of luck.

    5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

    6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

    7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate
    steps to correct it.

    8. Spend some time alone every day.

    9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.

    10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

    11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and
    think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.

    12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for
    your life.

    13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the
    current situation. Don’t bring up the past.

    14. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

    15. Be gentle with the earth.

    16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.

    17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your
    love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

    18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order
    to get it.

    19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

    Thank you sooo much for taking the time to write those out. I will now go and take the time to copy them manually onto my other computer (no printer on this one) and put them up. What a wonderful approach to life!

    Thanks

    And good to hear from you, too, Sparksmith
