All sound good except #6; my brain is the only thing about me I'm satisfied with.

 

[RFW]

Number 6 is my worst enemy.

also I would add my favourite one which took me a while to learn ...'' Pick your battles - you don't have to show up to every argument you're invited''

Agreed...learned that a long time ago..

 

[fuzzybuddy]

Add "Don't urinate uphill" to your list.

Wow, that's great especially one and 4. I've known people who simply couldn't get over their past. So most of their lives they were miserable.

I agree with @hollydolly. My mom taught me this when I was too young to understand it, but it is so true.

 

[Wren]

Great guidelines, I especially like no.7

I wish my mother had taught me that when I was young.. unfortunately it took me a long time to learn it

I have two:

1) Err on the side of caution

2) Chocolate is one of the four essential food groups

I guess we'd all be happier if we quit thinking but I think that's a lot easier said than done.

I do like #5, but it's a rephrasing of Plato's "Be kind everyone is fighting a hard battle."

 

[chic]

Just one of my own for what it's worth. If you can't or won't help another person, at least don't hurt them.

 

[funsearcher!]

#5 We are all on our own path. Who are you to judge another's?

#8 Be Kind

1) Err on the side of caution

2) Chocolate is one of the four essential food groups

however those 2 statements must never be used in the same sentence...

#8 Be Kind

Strive for kindness, consideration, empathy, and understanding with other people. Set a high ethical standard for yourself. Be responsible, non-judgmental and non-dogmatic. Never take yourself too seriously. Relax and enjoy the ride!

Add "Don't urinate uphill" to your list.
