Even if these things seem stupid or corny, ya gotta admit, doing some of them actually makes ya feel better plus it just makes sense!
1 - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully( for instance, the bum on the quarter asking for a dime, give him twenty-cents and smile)
2 -
Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. (Let the church say "Amen")
3 -
Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.(Yeah, because you probably over heard that a new club was banging and spent all your money on drinking when you found out it was lame, but you still ended up sleeping at somebody's house that you didn't know before yesterday )
4 -
When you say, "I love you," mean it(See, when I say I love basketball, damn it, I do I tell ya! )
5 -
When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.(After stabbing me in the back the least you could do is look me in the eye (a##hole) )
6 -
Be engaged at least six months before you get married. Duh!
7 -
Believe in love at first sight.
(You wouldn't believe it! The first time I saw the new basketball courts at the gym, I just wanted to...well, that's kind of a private moment )
8 -
Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.(Oh c'mon! What about the dude that invented the Pet Rock? I guess he got paid out of that though!! )
9 -
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.(Insert painful experience here)
10 -
In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.(Yeah, save the name calling for the bedroom, ya dirty lil thing you)
11 -
Don't judge people by their relatives.(Yeah, judge them by their car, house, bank account, skin complexion..ya know, the important stuff)
12 -
Talk slowly but think quickly.(Note: talking too slow, might make you sound like a retard...i'm guessing you have experience though)
13 -
When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"( I wish a MF would)
14 -
Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.(Yeah, so does getting on an airplane...AND)
15 -
Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.(What if you're non-religious)
16 -
When you lose, don't lose the lesson
(WTF: Okay, I'm still trying to figure that one out...if you lost, what did you win)
17 -
Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
( Okay, I'm not revisiting elementary again...Wasn't it Read, Write and Rithmetic? And they wonder why American students are behind!! Ya taught us ebonics in second grade)
18 -
Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.(No, seriously, let the big ones do it for you)
19 -
When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. (Wipe your fingerprints off the murder weapon)
20 -
Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.(I do this at work! It saves a lot of time with these verbally challenged callers)
21 -
Spend some time alone( I'll leave you alone to think about this one)
Until next time...
(don’t even ask what it was)
crimes and gun control! Political parties have used empty promises and tired rhetoric to persuade optimistic voters into placing check marks on ballots for politician’s personal agendas. While not all the fault can be placed on politicians, Detroiters must take a more productive and positive role in the very city they swear to love.
