ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.It's open for your comments!Me: Good if you can do so, but better if taking is there too.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
Me: Em... maybe true. What if I love to talk to him only now? Who knows?
THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
Me: Totally agree. But I often sleep to the fullest at weekends.
FOUR. When you say, ‘I love you,’ mean it.
Me: Yeah, I DO love my family, friends and him...! I always mean it, even I don't say it!
FIVE. When you say, ‘I’m sorry,’ look the person in the eyes!
Me: How can if on phone? Just kidding. I usually avoid eye contact when saying sorry. Don't know why. Guilty, I think.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
Me: At least 6 months? Why? Getting engaged is not the only means to learn about each other; no reason to make things complicated.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
Me: Well, I don't have much confidence in my eyesight. I just can't fall for a guy just because of a glance. Something more, please!
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.
Me: Sorry, if I can't help laughing... Anyway, having dreams is one thing and pursuing them is another.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely.
Me: If only I could "love deeply, passionately and sensibly", so that I won't COMPLETE my life.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
Me: Totally agree although I'm not really a good fair fighter.
ELEVEN. Don’t judge people by their relatives.
Me: We can sometimes, can't we? But just don't do so. Although the smell may stay, the only spoiled fish can be removed from the basket and the rest are still fresh there.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
Me: Great advice and I wish I could do so.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, ‘Why do you want to know?’
Me: When asked this question, you/I should know how to response if you/I really wanna know. "Becuase I wanna know" is not the actually wanted answer.
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
Me: I'm not ambitious, just wanting simple love and simple achievements. Do they involve great risk?
FIFTEEN. Say ‘bless you’ when you hear someone sneeze.
Me: Yeah, I normally do. "Bless me" is also a good idea because you wouldn't know if you'll sneeze next or not.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
Me: Earn the lesson to win in the second chance if given! If not, just save it for your "near" and "dear".
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.
Me: What an ideal thought made sense and often uttered by most people! Me, still need improving.
EIGHTEEN. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
Me: I won't; at least I'll try my best.
NINETEEN. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Me: The matter is that not all the mistakes can be corrected. Don't you know that?
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
Me: Yeah, I can somehow feel it.
TWENTY- ONE. Spend some time alone.
Me: Good that it is only SOME time.
