Important Rules of Life
1. Never give yourself a haircut after four beers.
2. You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and
it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are
"I apologize" and "you are right."
4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
5. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
6. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her - believe them!
7. Learn to pick your battles; ask yourself, "Will this matter one year
from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"
8. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately.
It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
9. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
10. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.
11. Work is good, but it's not that important. Money is nice, but you
can't take it with you. Statistics show most people don't live to spend all they saved; some die even before they retire. Anything we have
isn't really ours; it was given to us by God; He just letting us borrow
it while we're here... even our kids. So enjoy it while you have it.
12. And finally. Be really good to your family and/or friends. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.

Fantastic David - THANKS! I'm printing these off. A copy for my wallet, one for the car, and one for the bathroom.

I think this one is the most beneficial, "3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are "I apologize" and "you are right." Now realize, I've never had to actually say it...but I think it's beneficial...maybe.

@ed-davis, no...never...ever...I'm right all the time, so why would I have to apologize? 😤 One time, a very long time ago, I was almost wrong, but I was mistaken.

@chris, I am! My wife always says, "Oh, yeah! You're right all the time, aren't you?" Her words, not mine. I'm smart as well! My 6th grade teacher wrote, right on my permanent record, "I can't teach him anything. He knows it all."

@jkuvakas It's heartwarming to see that you have such support and understanding from your missus JK. It makes life so much smoother when they reach that level and get that it's not ego driven....it's just the way God made us. It should be obvious to them but for some reason it takes time....and I've learned not to try to teach it; they just stop communicating....weird.
