At the start of the new millennium the Dalai Lama issued eighteen rules for living.
.In case you never saw them
.
Here they are.
.
Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
.
When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
.
Follow the three Rs:
.
Respect for self
.
Respect for others
.
Responsibility for all your actions.
.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
.
Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
.
Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
.
When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
.
Spend some time alone every day.
.
Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
.
.Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
.
Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
.
A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
.
In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
.
Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
.
Be gentle with the earth.
.
Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
.
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
