Rules for life and rules for living are quite different, if you think about it.

I ran across this and I think it’s worth sharing.

From the Dalai Lama I’ve been told.

I met him once, years ago, when I was a reporter and he was passing through.

I was – and am still – impressed.

This has nothing to do with religion, but everything to do with goodness and common sense.

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

Follow the three Rs:
Respect for self
Respect for others
Responsibility for all your actions.

Not getting what you want can sometimes be a wonderful stroke of luck.

Spend some time alone every day.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honorable life.
Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation.
Don’t bring up the past.

Share your knowledge.
It’s a way to achieve immortality.

Be gentle with the earth.

Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Good stuff.
