Rules to Live By

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.

  10. 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.

  14. 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.

    As far as i suggest Your Web site acts a great role in providing information to targeted visitors. I recognize or rated it as excellent.

  17. Randy Palmer says:

    Be positive and smile. That should stay a lot.

    one more simple rule – Don't do to others what you don't want others do to you
