stanikaI have brought from my ex-home a book. An interesting book. That is called "Life's Little Instruction Book" and contains 511 suggestions, observations and reminders on how to live a happy and rewarding life. I'll choose some to mention here.
1. Compliment three people every day. It's a serious psycological training, but I really try to do it, at least I say somthing that is positive and may be make people smile.
2. Have dog. NO! please.
3. Watch a sunrise at least once a year. I try. I know that's challenging but bring a lot of emotions. I have to pay more attention to it. It's good that I watch sunser somtimes, better than nothing.
4. Remember other people's birthdays. Wow, it's so difficult!!
5. -
6. Have a firm handshake.
7. Look people in the eye. Oh, I like doing it!
8. Say "thank you" a lot. Obvious, but necessary.
9. The same with please.
10. Learn to play a musical instrument. Yes, I have to repair a good guitare that is waiting for me. I'd like to.
11. Sing in the shower. Oh, yes ))
12. Use the good silver. Mis lagartos...
13. Learn to make great chili. Cook? No!
14. Plant flowers every spring. Worse than cooking )))
15. Own a great stereo system. It results that I'm not fond of music nor films.
16. Be the first to say "Hello". Yes, I am!!
17. Live beneath your means. No estoy de acuerdo. Brrr, I'm not... I don't agree. I prefer live according to my means. That gives me pleasure.
18. Drive unexpensice cars, but own the best house you can afford. Right. Something like that I will do.
19. Buy great books even if you never read them. It's stupid. I prefer saving paper and reading e-books.
20. Be forgiving of yourself and others. Others much easier than myself.
21. Learn three clean jokes. I'd prefer inventing jokes, I was able to do it something like twice in my life and I am proud of it.
22. Wear polished shoes. I do not know how it can help me to be happier, but it's useful, no doubt.

24. Drink champagne for no reason at all. I can understand this idea, although I do not drink anything alcoholic at all. But I can eat some special sweets for this reason.
28. Teach some kind of class. Really good idea. I've done a lot ))
29. Be a student in some kind of class. I have just finished my business school, and I hope I can enter the desired University now.
30. Never buy a house without a fireplace. I don't like the notion of "never", but fireplace itself is a rich idea.
31. Buy whatever kids are selling on card tables in their front yards. I also have sold something...
33. Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated. I hate this phrase! Treat everyone as he wants to be treated!!! That's true although very difficult.
34. Learn to identify the music of Chopin, Mozart and Beethoven. Yes, I have to. It's waiting for me.
35. Plant a tree on your birthday. I have to thing this thought, it's not so obvious because of cultural content around it.
36. Donate two pints of blood every year. And die then. I have to learn to eat enogh first.
41. Don't postpone joy. Oh right!
43. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen every day.
47. Don't waste time learning the "tricks of the trade". Instead, learn the trade. I like this idea, yes, I do.
50. Put the cap back to the toothpaste. It's funny...
May be I'll go on.
