    1. Have a firm handshake.


    2. Look people in the eye.
    3. Sing in the shower.
    4. Own a great stereo system.
    5. If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.
    6. Keep secrets.
    7. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.
    8. Always accept an outstretched hand.
    9. Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
    10. Whistle.
    11. Avoid sarcastic remarks.
    12. Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90%
    of all your happiness and misery.
    13. Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.
    14. Lend only those books you never care to see again.
    15. Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.
    16. When playing games with children, let them win.
    17. Give people a second chance, but not a third.
    18. Be romantic.
    19. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
    20. Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as
    important as it first seems.
    21. Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for our
    convenience, not the caller’s.
    22. Be a good loser.
    23. Be a good winner.
    24. Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
    25. When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
    26. Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.
    27. Keep it simple.
    28. Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.
    29. Don’t burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to
    cross the same river.
    30. Live your life so that your epitaph could read: No regrets.
    31. Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you’ll regret the
    things you didn’t do more than the ones you did.
    32. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
    33. Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to
    acknowledge those who helped you.
    34. Take charge of your attitude. Don’t let someone else choose it for you.
    35. Visit friends and relatives when they are in the hospital; you only need to
    stay a few minutes.
    36. Begin each day with some of your favourite music.
    37. Once in a while, take the scenic route.
    38. Send a lot of Valentine cards. Sign them, ‘Someone who thinks you’re
    terrific.’
    39. Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.
    40. Keep a notepad and pencil on your bedside table. Million-dollar ideas
    sometimes strike at 3 a.m.
    41. Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how
    trivial their job.
    42. Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.
    43. Make someone’s day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind
    you.
    44. Become someone’s hero.
    45. Marry only for love.
    46. Count your blessings.
    47. Compliment the meal when you’re a guest in someone’s home.
    48. Wave at the children on a school bus.
    49. Remember that 80% of the success in any job is based on your ability to
    deal with people.
    50. Don’t expect life to be fair.
