I do some of my best thinking in the shower, or while driving.  Recently, I was thinking about some of my blog materials, and I came across this list.  I don’t know where it’s from, but it seems especially poignant for today’s world.  Simply enjoy!

Twenty Things

• ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
  
  
• TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
  
  
• THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
  
  
• FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
  
  
• FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
  
  
• SIX. Spend some time alone.
  
  
• SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
  
  
• EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream.  People who don't have dreams don't have much.
  
  
• NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
  
  
• TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
  
  
• ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
  
  
• TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
  
  
• THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
  
  
• FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
  
  
• FIFTEEN. Say “God bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
  
  
• SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
  
  
• SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.
  
  
• EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
  
  
• NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
  
  
• TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
