His Holiness The Dalai Lama's Good Karma Instructions for Life
Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risks.
When you loose, don't loose the lesson.
Follow the three R's:
respect for self
respect for others
responsibility for all your actions
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Spend some time alone every day.
Open arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
Share your knowledge. Its a way to achieve immortality.
Be gentle with the earth.
Once a year, go somewhere you've never been.
Remember that the best relationship is the one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Judge your successes by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

The strongest human instinct is to impart information. The second strongest is to resist it. ~ Kenneth Grahame

Do not believe in anything simply because you heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observations and analysis, when you find anything with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. ~ Buddha

Don't let this feeling die,
I don't ever want to loose it...

Class never runs scared. It is sure footed and confident and it can handle whatever comes along.
Class has a sense of humour. It knows a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations.
Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes.
Class knows good manners are nothing more than a series of petty sacrifices.
Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. A blue blood can be totally without class while the son o f a Welsh miner may ooze class from every pore.
Class can "walk with kings and keep its virtue and talk with crowds and keep the common touch."
Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself.
~Ann Landers
