LIFE WISDOM

LIFE WISDOM

When we KNOW better…we DO better.  With that in mind, read the following bite-sized nuggets of WISDOM by an unknown author.  In the process, carefully evaluate yourself because the unexamined life is not worth living.  All of us can grow tall by a rigorous intake and application of WISDOM – without experiencing the pains or setbacks that others have endured while attaining it through The School of Hard Knocks.  Think.

Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully.

Don’t believe all you hear; don’t spend all you have; don’t sleep all you want.

When you say, “I love you,” really mean it.

Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

Never laugh at anyone’s dreams.

Love deeply and passionately.  You might get hurt, but it’s the only way to live life completely.

In disagreements, fight fairly; no bringing up the past and no name calling.

Don’t judge people by their looks or their relatives.

Talk slowly, but think quickly.

When someone asks a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”

Remember that great love and great achievements often involve great risk.

If your Mom is still alive, call her and see her very often.

When you seem to lose, don’t lose out on the lesson learned.

Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for all your actions.

Don’t let a little dispute destroy a great friendship.

When you see your mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the other person in the eye.

Smile when picking up the phone; the caller will hear it in your voice.

Marry someone you love to talk to, because over time, that skill will be as important as any other.

Spend quality time with yourself because you deserve it.

Read and memorize good poetry.

Read more books and watch less television.

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

Learn to read between the lines.  Sometimes more is being said than meets the eye.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good and honorable life.  When you grow old and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.

Trust in God, but lock your house and your car.

A loving atmosphere in your home is vital.  Do all you can to have a happy home.

Be gentle and kind to your Creator’s earth.

Mind your own business.

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

If you make a lot of money, help others.  That is wealth’s greatest reward.

Remember: Not getting what you want is sometimes an awesome blessing.

Remember: The best relationship is one where your love is greater than your need.

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to gain and keep it.

Share your knowledge.  It’s one way to hang around longer than expected.

Remember: Your character is your destiny.

Pray often.  There is immeasurable power in it.
