Lists with friends 2014 | 18 rules of living

Dalai Lama´s 18 rules of living. 

#1 take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

#2 When you loose dont loose the lesson.

#3 Follow the three R's: Respect for self. Respect for others. Responsibility for all your actions.

#4 Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

#5 Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

#6 Don´t let a little dispute injure great friendship.

#8 Spend some time alone every day.

#9 Open your arms to change, but dont let go of your values.

#10 Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

#11 Live a good honourable life. Then when you get older and think back you will be able to enjoy it a second time.

#12 A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

#13 In disagreements with loved ones deal only with the current situation. Dont bring up the past.

#15 Be gentle with the earth.

#16 Once a year go someplace you have never been before.
