The one place where I learned lessons that taught me about life, how to make a living, how to treat others, and to know how I wanted to be treated, was at the University of the School of Life.
1. Never trust any woman around the man that you love because if it's good every other woman wants your man even if she has one of her own.
2. Don't trust your mother because if she doesn't like him she'll do anything she can to sabotage your relationship because she "knows best".
3. Trust your mother's opinion because she's been out there living far longer than you and knows life.
4. Life's a dichotomy. A phrase I learned working at an engineering company was "neat, logical, and wrong".
5. Love your parents and learn by their mistakes. No one is perfect not even parents.
6. Anytime you have the opportunity to learn something that might make you employable don't pass up the chance.
7. Sometimes your children, even at a very early age, have great wisdom.
8. Listen to criticism even if it makes you angry you might learn something.
9. Treat your dear friends with great respect and don't take them for granted you never know when you might miss them forever.
10. Respect for others is respect for yourself.
11. Work is like money in the bank always there and collects interest. Play is like money in the pocket easily spent and instantly gone.
12. Don't forget to play.
13. There's no place like home.
14. Love your companion be they human or not.
15. Even if the ends justify the means don't rob yourself of rest.
16. If at all possible always be prepared for the other foot to fall.
17. Work hard.
