Here are some of my Golden rules
1- If you do something do it right and remember that God is watching you, even if you can't see him, he does see you.
2- First thing of Wisdom is FEARING GOD
3- Build your life like you will live for ever, and when you pray, pray the best as if you going to die tomorrow.
I think of these rules all the time and thanks God I am very happy with them.
Learn to relax. You can't solve a difficult problem without a clear mind.
Its good to be able to laugh at yourself--often.
Say "I love you" every day to your spouse.
I have several:
The 'Do unto others' one is my favorite.
I also tell my kids that all of us are the same under our skin - color doesn't matter. (I usually word it " We are all the same once you peel the skin off' it's kind of gross, but it makes a point, to teenagers at least)
Also, I can handle stupidity, I can tolerate ignorance, but I will not, can not, won't put up with rudeness.
But, I guess in actuality, these are all offshoots of the original 'Do unto others' rule.
