- Deliver your own news – good or bad. Don’t use others as carrier pigeons.
- Try not to keep people waiting. While it is sometimes unavoidable, effort on your part to be punctual will speak volumes about you.
- Find a way to remember people’s names. You’ll be surprised how much it will do for you.
- Spend less than you earn, and save some money every month. Nothing kills enduring happiness as efficiently as debt.
- Get out of the middle of other people’s relationships. Avoid being triangled. Remember Piggy in the Middle is not much fun for Piggy.
- Tell the truth as kindly and as efficiently as possible.
- Do something dangerous or scary every day.
- Say yes more than you say no.
- Write. There’s a novel within you awaiting an escape.
- Read.
- Err on the side of trusting too much than on the side of trusting too little.
- Say please and thank you as often as possible.

#2– I’m punctual to a fault. If I have to be somewhere at 2pm, I’m usually there at 1:30. Used to drive my ex husband up the wall, because he never showed up anywhere on time, except while he was in the military. I can’t count the number of nights he was supposed to pick me up at work, and an hour later, I’m still waiting.
#4– Lord I try, but sometimes, it just doesn’t work for me.
Everything else, I’ve done for years. Life is either a daring adventure– or nothing.
