Try to implement as many as possible in your daily life.
I have just added the colours to make it more colourful

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 import ant 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.

TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.

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.

Death of a Virgin

Two sisters lived together, and one became quite ill. Her doctor told her she had but a short time to live.

She spoke to her sister and said, "Jennie, when I die and you put up a gravestone, I want you to inscribe it just the way I tell you. I want them to put my name on it and underneath: BORN A VIRGIN, LIVED A VIRGIN, DIED A VIRGIN."

She died shortly thereafter, and Jennie went to the maker of the tombstone and explained what inscription she wanted. The gravestone maker told her that there were simply too many words to be put on the headstone.

Jennie complained that those were her sister's dying request. The gravestone maker assured her that he would do his best.

After a month the gravestone maker called Jennie and told her the stone was ready, and that he had complied with her dead sister's wishes as best he could.

Jennie looked at the tombstone and across the top was her sister's name just as she asked, and underneath was printed.

"RETURNED - UNOPENED"
