Random Rules of Life

Now, I'm sure you have your own random rules of life - but here's some that have helped me.

1. Find the lesson in every failure, and you'll never fail.
2. The likelihood that you are right is not increased by the intensity of your conviction.
3. Real friends help you feel worthy and make you want to be better.
4. When you are in a hole, stop digging.
5. Don't confuse fun with fulfillment, or pleasure with happiness.
6. Refusing to let go of a grudge is refusing to use the key that will set you free.
7. Hating hurts you more than the person you hate.
8. Counting on luck is counting on random chance; your odds are much better when you plan and work.
9. It's better to be kind than clever.
10. Don't underestimate the power of conviction.
11. The easy way is rarely the best way.
12. It's much easier to burst someone else's bubble than blow up your own.
13. You can't avoid pain, but you can avoid suffering.
14. Self-pity is a losing strategy; it repels others and weakens you.
15. Short cuts usually produce short success.
16. Control your attitude or it will control you.
17. It's more important to be significant than successful.
18. The world is waiting for you to heal it.
