Golden Rules Of Living

If you open it, close it.
If you turn it on, turn it off.
If you unlock it, lock it up.
If you break it, admit it.
If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can.
If you borrow it, return it.
If you value it, take care of it.
If you make a mess, clean it up.
If you move it, put it back.
If it belongs to someone else, and you want to borrow it, get permission.
If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone.
If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.
If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.
If it will brighten someone’s day, say it.
If it will tarnish someone’s reputation, keep it to yourself.

Things You Need To Learn

There are five things in life which everyone ought to learn.

1. Learn to laugh.
A good laugh is better than medicine. When you smile, or laugh, your brain for the moment is freed from the load that it ordinarily carries.

2. Learn to tell a helpful story.
A well-told story is as wholesome and welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room.

3. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself.
The world is too busy to linger over your ills and sorrows.

4. Learn to stop croaking.
If you cannot see any good in this world, keep the bad to yourself.

5. Learn to greet your friends with a smile.
They carry too many frowns in their own hearts to be bothered with any of yours.
