1. It is better not to marry than marry the wrong person.
2. But if you have married the wrong person, stick with it and don’t give up.
3. Before blaming your spouse, judge yourself and change for the better.
4. Your children will never learn anything you say; they will learn everything you do.
5. If you are not happy in your own company, nobody else will be; learn to stay alone and be happy.
6. Don’t take life very seriously; you’ll miss the smaller opportunities to be happy then.
7. Whatever bad is happening to you has happened to someone in the past & will happen to someone in the future; so, it is not the end of the world.
8. The world will go on in spite of whatever bad is happening to you; so, don’t bother for the world too much when the chips are down or up; either way, the world doesn’t matter.
9. Don’t preach; set examples. Don’t teach; practice yourself and others will practice with you.
10. There are two kinds of people in this world. Those with whom you can get along and those with whom you can’t. For the latter, don’t even try to be friendly – you’ll recognize them at first glance.
11. All other classification of people based on language, race, religion and others don’t hold true for you. People will be either good or bad to you. No other classification exists when you judge people.
12. Religion is not about rituals; it is about the philosophy which lies within.
13. If a person is truly religious, he/she’ll be pleasant. If you find someone mean, selfish, greedy, unfair, resentful, angry, destructive, cunning, pompous – then whichever religion he/she follows, the person isn’t following it right. Problem is not in the religion – it is in our interpretation.
