There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING .....

Advice to Husbands

Although these are directed at Sikh husbands, for the most part, they can apply to both husband and wife.

1. Respect the opinion of your wife and show you are listening and value her suggestions.
2. Don’t be moody. Your tone and attitude matter sometimes more than the words.
3. Smile. You don’t need a reason, just smile.
4. Avoid anger and avoid speaking roughly or rudely.
5. Give surprises and gifts.
6. Love is broken with harsh words and strengthened by sweet ones.
7. Pay compliments to your wife. Express your appreciation to her.
8. Break the routine every once in a while.
10. Help in the house.
11. Pay attention in raising the children. It is your responsibility too.
12. Don’t leave the small problems unsolved or ignored. They will grow otherwise.
13. Eat meals together.
14. Keep her informed about your plans. Consult her on major decisions (personal and family). Do not surprise her on these matters

Golden Rules for Career Success - Richard Moran

* Business is made up of ambiguous victories and nebulous defeats. Claim them all as victories.
* Keep track of what you do; someone is sure to ask.
* Be comfortable around senior managers, or learn to fake it.
* Never bring your boss a problem without some solution.
* You are getting paid to think, not to whine.
* Long hours don’t mean anything; results count, not effort.
* Write down ideas; they get lost, like good pens.
* Always arrive at work 30 minutes before your boss.
* Help other people network for jobs. You never know when your turn will come.
* Don’t take days off sick unless you are.
* Assume no one can / will keep a secret.
* Know when you do your best morning, night, under pressure, relaxed; schedule and prioritize your work accordingly.
* Treat everyone who works in the organization with respect and dignity, whether it be the cleaner or the managing director. Don’t ever be patronizing.
* Never appear stressed in front of a client, a customer or your boss. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: In the course of human events, how important is this?
* If you get the entrepreneurial urge, visit someone who has his own business. It may cure you.
* Acknowledging someone else’s contribution will repay you doubly.
* Career planning is an oxymoron. The most exciting opportunities tend to be unplanned.
* Always choose to do what you’ll remember ten years from now.
* The size of your office is not as important as the size of your pay cheque.
* Understand what finished work looks like and deliver your work only when it is finished.
* The person who spends all of his or her time is not hard-working; he or she is boring.
* Know how to write business letters including thank-you notes as well as proposals.
* Never confuse a memo with reality. Most memos from the top are political fantasy.
* Eliminate guilt. Don’t fiddle expenses, taxes or benefits, and don’t cheat colleagues.
* Reorganizations mean that someone will lose his or her job. Get on the committee that will make the recommendations.
* Job security does not exist.
* Always have an answer to the question, What would I do if I lost my job tomorrow
* Go to the company Christmas party. Don’t get drunk at the company Christmas party.
* Avoid working at weekends. Work longer during the week if you have to.
* The most successful people in business are interesting.
* Sometimes you’ll be on a winning streak and everything will click; take maximum advantage. When the opposite is true, hold steady and wait it out.
* Never in your life say, Its not my job
* Be loyal to your career, your interests and yourself.
* Understand the skills and abilities that set you apart. Use them whenever you have an opportunity.
* People remember the end of the project. As they say in boxing, always finish stronger than you start.
