Your "philosophy of life" statements

[scho63]

1. Don't send an email, text or response in anger. Rarely the correct answer and usually works against you.
2. Save money and invest, save money and invest, save money and invest. Your retirement will be here before you know it and it won't be good without money.
3. Moderation is usually a good decision.
4. Don't stay in a job you hate.
5. Don't marry for companionship or fear of being alone.
6. Be a parent, not your kids "best friends." They have kids their own age for that.
7. Stop and smell the flowers along the way. If you keep waiting for the perfect opportunity to do something, it may never arrive.
8. Don't let the perfect stop you from the good.
9. Learn from your mistakes or you will prove you are an idiot over and over. We ALL makes mistakes, just don't repeat them or worse yet, make a fatal one you can't overcome.
10. Take care of you and your health FIRST. It gets exponentially harder every decade that passes and then every few years in your 60s and beyond.
11. You can't take it all with you. The coffin is only so big. Stop collecting shit you don't really need.
12. Be nice to everyone; the mailman, the garbage collector, hotel maids, your plumber, the landscaper. It really works well.
13. Give some of your time or money to help someone. Great feeling and people really do appreciate it.
14. Take your time and do things right the first time. Haste does make waste.
15. Never settle. Do what makes you happy as you got just one life to live.
16. Don't hold grudges or be bitter. Just a big waste of time, energy and mental stress.
17. Do something special for yourself from tome to time. A day at a spa, mini road trip, an extravagant purchase.
18. Cars, boats and RVs are money pits
Don't waste too much or any money on them.
19. Debt is bad. Less of it is better
20. Travel the World. It opens you up to new cultures, people and ideas. It absolutely reduces prejudices in nearly all cases.
