Words of Wisdom From My Sister, Part II


Confucius also say he who go to bed with itchy heiney , later wake up with smelly finger............

Is it just me, or does Confucius look more like Mr. Magoo? Well, my sister Martha still is passing me words of wisdom from her buddies. This one's not as angry as the last one - or as long........At least it doesn't have the old "dance like no one is watching" hooey....

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. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

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 "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: R espect 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. TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

Twenty-two.... Confucius say it is good for boy to meet girl in park, but better for boy to park meat in girl..

My last serious girl friend lived by these rules she said. Cannot prove it by me.

I believe strongly in #22...followed by #17, though I haven't always practiced #17 like I should, but I have done #22!
