Life's Little Instructions #2

Here's some more of the Life's Little Instructions list, from 51-100.

51. Take out the garbage without being told (And don't forget to put a new bag in the can, either!)

54. Surprise loved ones with little unexpected gifts (I just need to figure out what kinds of stuff they like)

57. Make the best of bad situations

59. Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you

60. Admit your mistakes (I still need to work on that)

62. Use your wit to amuse, not abuse (Does being sarcastic count?)

66. Support a high school band

67. Demand excellence and be willing to pay for it (Would that be literally or figuratively?)

68. Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.

70. Hug children after you discipline them

72. Give to charity all the clothes you haven't worn during the past three years (I think that would get rid of half my closet!)

76. Choose a charity in your community and support it generously with your time and money

78. When someone wants to hire you, evenif it's for a job you have little interest in, talk to them. Never close the door on an opportunity until you've had a chance to hear the offer in person

81. Avoid sarcastic remarks (But that's no fun!)

83. In business and in family relationships, remember that the most important thing is trust

85. Never encourage anyone to become a lawyer

87. Even if you're financially well-to-do, have your children earn and pay part of their college tuition

88. Even if you're financially well-to-do, have your children earn and pay for ALL of their car insurance (You can bet on that!)

91. Don't let anyone ever see you tipsy (I think it's a little late for that!)

93. Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90% of all your happiness or misery

94. Make it a habit to do nice things for people who'll never find out (Sounds like a great idea to me)

96. Lend only those books you never care to see again (I sure learned this one the hard way!)

99.Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures
