I was searching the Borders Bookstore for a flip-calendar Saturday night. Of course, since there were 50% off, I decided that I could buy more than one.
So I have one at home, and one at the office. The one here in my office is from Jackson Brown's
Life's Little Instructions series.
I want to share some of them here:
Never enter your boss's office without a notepad and pencil.
Learn to say "no" politely.
Don't forget that contentment is the greatest wealth.
Don't feel you have to express your opinion on every subject. (Ouch!!)
If a friend offers you a breath mint, take it.
Remember, there is no substitute for getting started.
Don't intentionally embarrass anyone...even your enemies.
Refrain from envy. No one has it as good as it seems.
Don't be reluctant to say to a salesperson, "I'm sorry, that's more than I wanted to spend" and then just walk away.
"Super-size" meals only if you want to be super-sized yourself.
Always stop at kids' lemonade stands. You might be the only customer they have all day.
Say nice things about people. You'll never regret it.
Don't buy cheap drapes; it's better to live with bare windows. (Busted, again).
Never complain about a meal you are eating--that someone else is paying for.
Remember that no one is perfect, and that no one needs to be.
