12 RULES TO LIVE BY
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
~ Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
~ Make the best of circumstances. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow.
~ Don't take yourself too seriously.
~ Don't let criticism worry you. You can't please everybody.
~ Don't let your neighbors set your standards; be yourself.
~ Do things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.
~ Don't borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than actual ones.
~ Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities and grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
~ Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about places.
~ Don't hold post-mortems or spend time brooding over sorrows and mistakes.
~ Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
~ Keep busy at something. A very busy person never has time to be unhappy.
