Rules to Live By


Fri, 1st August, 2008 - Posted by Living Life Abundantly


Some say rules were made to be broken. If we make an effort to follow a few simple rules life would be so much easier. Here’s 15 Rules To Live By:

»If you move it, put it back.

»If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone.

»If it belongs to someone else and you want to use it, get permission.

»If you borrow it, return it.

»If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

»If you broke it, admit it.

»If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can.

»If you open it, close it.

»If you turn it on, turn it off.

»If you unlock it, lock it up.

»If you value it, take care of it.

»If you make a mess, clean it up.

»If it will brighten someone’s day, say it, do it!

»If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.

»If it will tarnish someone’s reputation, keep it to yourself.

I have an addition. The early bird gets the worm. But about the early worm? OK..I know. A bit silly, but something to think about.

Those remind me of Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Easy to learn and remember, and yet things that would make life much more pleasant for those around us!

These are some good rules. I wish everyone followed them.

Cleaning up after yourself and fixing the things you break is usually easy, but most people don’t do it.

Good advice to live by. I’ll try and keep them in mind all the time.

Those are great rules, if everyone used them we would be living in a much better world. Thanks for posting!

good list, except I say ask questions no matter what… who is to say what is our business and what isn’t… we grow as a culture by helping eachother, and learning from other mistakes… if we didn’t ask questions we would be nowhere.

I don’t know who originally came up with those rules to live by, but I have had a copy of them in my wallet for many years. If only we all would live by them, the world would surely be a better place. Thanks for sharing those great life tips.

Also, be sure to take a look at the seller’s feedback ratings. An occasional negative rating of a high volume seller is not unusual since some people are never happy, so you can probably ignore a negative here and there, but if there are more than a few, I would look for another seller. For someone who doesn’t have a long term selling history on eBay, I wouldn’t consider anyone with less than 99% TO 100% positive feedback.
