Treat everyone the way you treat your children.

Be kind to strangers

Don't count the cost

Count to 10 before saying anything you might regret saying or someone might regret hearing

Forget every slight

Remember every kindness

Pay your debts

Take care of your neighbors

Teach your kids right from wrong

Learn from your kids

Don’t tell, show.  Particularly in love.

Ask more questions

Listen closely

Talk

Say nice things

Get out from under yourself

Quit something cold turkey and start something new

More understanding less explaining

Apologize

Try not to need to apologize

Don’t complain

Be open

Don’t do things you will clearly regret

Stop and smell something, mostly just stop

Enjoy and remember as much as you can; things can change

Own your failures 

Be wary of sarcasm and cynicism

Be louder when you're happy than when you are upset

Ask for help

Accept kindness with grace

Don't swear

Don't brag

Wake up with a smile

Assume the best

Share your successes

Be humble

Travel well

Don't take offense at other people's mistakes

Consider the possibility that you are wrong

Pick up the spare change you find on the street.  It demonstrates humility and thrift

Don't make the same mistake twice

Accept success and failure with equanimity

Be honest with yourself; particularly in front of other people

If you make a fool of yourself in public; apologize in public

Accept change

Trust what you know to be true about yourself

Don't let other people or events define you

Find reasons to be happy

Understand the difference between knowing and believing.  

Know more, believe less.

Make clear the distinction between fact and opinion.  

Consider the source and implication of your principles regularly

Treat with grace those whom you'd most prefer to deny

Be generous with your time and parsimonious with your opinions

Love a good woman well

Be honest

Be trustworthy

Don't let your past haunt your future

 

Every woman has it within her to be a bitch

Every man has it within him to be an asshole

Reacting to the former or acting out the latter is a recipe for disaster

 

Let your action speak.  Either way they are perceived, you can't be called a liar

When opportunity presents itself, consider the cost

Quietly ask yourself "Is this the best that I got?"  

Recongize early when change is required.  Examine it and embrace it.

Don't try to build trust on lies

Know when to say when (not yet)

Consider the moment before

If you get what you wish for, hold on to it tightly and don't let go

Read this list every day
