Rules to Live By (Or Wish You Knew Earlier)
Written by Jerry Ligairi on February 29, 2024
Sometimes we learn the hard way and wish that someone had let us know earlier about the consequences of our mistakes, but nothing beats the life lessons taught to us by….well….life. Some of the issues we experience are out of our control but hopefully this helps you take steps in understanding what you would do to make life a little easier on yourself.
The truth is that the older we get the more the rules that we live by shift and change to suit our morals and personal values.
In saying that, below are 15 rules to live by that should work for everyone in everyday life and hopefully help you to accept what the world throws at you:
1. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.
2. A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.
4. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
5. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.
6. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
7. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.
8. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
9. You should not confuse your career with your life.
10. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
11. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
12. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
13. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never let your mum kiss you on dad’s birthday
