Lessons (Rules) in Life

I'm suppose to post another entry before this but i cant concentrate enough to finish it, probably because i find this more interesting than the other one. anyways, i was going through my computer documents the other day and i found a series of notes about lessons in life. i made this notes as my guidelines on how I'm going to live my life and it really helped me a lot. now i want to share this knowledge to you guys that reads this blog. this are a compilation of lessons or "rules" of life from various inspiring people like the Dalai Lama and Bill Gates. I also added some rules that I learned from just living my life. I hope you guys learn something from this.

Lessons I've learned from life:

1.God and family comes 1st.
2.never underestimate the power of a smile.
3.when you say "I love you", mean it!
4.when you say "I'm sorry", look the person in the eyes.
5.never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
6.love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but its the only way to live life completely.
7.in a street fight, there are no rules. fight as dirty as you want, just try not to kill them.
8.talk slowly but think quickly.
9.when someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "why do you want to know?".
10.remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
11.when you lose, don't lose the lesson.
12.don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
13.when you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
14.spend some time alone.
15.remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
16.learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
17.open your arms to change but don't compromise your values.
18.remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
19.a loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
20.share your knowledge. In a way to achieve immortality.
21.once a year, go some place you've never been before.
22.remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
23.judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
24.approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
25.life is not fair, get use to it.
26.the world won't care about your self esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
27.always remember that no matter how bad the situation is, there is always a bright side.
28.goals are like your house, there are more than one way to get in when you are locked outside.
29.life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
30.be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
31.you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in lol!
32.no matter how much you care, some people are just assholes.
33.it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
34.depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
35.don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.
36.exes are like fungus, they keep coming back.
37.don't suffer from insanity, enjoy it.
38.artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
39.quiting while you are ahead is not the same as quiting.
40.try anything twice, you never know how you'll like it the second time around.
41.life is like a chess game, think ahead, you'll get a better chance of succeeding.
42.give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
43.money should never be your life, it suppose to make your life easier.
44.nothing in life worth having comes easy.
45.don't be afraid to hit rock bottom, your friends and family will always be there to pick you up and expect to do the same for them.
46.marry someone that you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
47.act wisely, there's no point charging with a big sword in a gun fight.
48.there is nothing scarier than fighting a man without emotion.
49.the key to happiness is to live your life without expectation.
50.life is too short, know which conflicts to fight and which to avoid... You'll live longer.

QOTD:
"The three hardest tasks in this world are neither physical nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded and to say 'I was wrong'."
