Do you ever wish that life came with an instruction manual? Maybe something from IKEA with a lot of easy to understand photos. Instead it seems we get the instructions as we go and the instructions seem to be in Chinese. I don’t claim to know the secret of life by any means but here are the 10 instructions I have learned picked up about life so far. Don’t worry they aren’t sappy.
- When you lose something important, think kindly of the guy that says ‘where did you see it last’- they are just trying to help.
- Try something new as often as you can even if it intimidates you. And especially if it scares you to death.
- Sarcastic remarks, while fun at the time, rarely end with the results you want.
- Learning to cook only two dishes isn’t that bad. That’s what packaged dinners are for.
- Don’t post everything you do on Facebook. Some things are meant to be private.
- Never send chain mail, even email chain mail. I promise you won’t have bad luck for seven years.
- It’s hard to be positive all the time but you should at least try.
- Dodgeball sounds more fun to play then it actually is.
- Don't worry about being popular. The "weird" kids are much more fun.
- Pick a team and stick with them. There are few things more important in life than loyalty. Even if that team has only won three Grey Cups in over a 100 year franchise.
