Everything that you have all spoken of has been said is said so well and put so beautifully. Not being given to talking for the sake of it, I should only like to add the thoughts of yet another person. Hopefully this is the correct place to leave his words:
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk;
2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson;
3. Follow the three R’s: Respect for self, Respect for others and 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 a great friendship;
7. When you realise that you have made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it;
8. Spend some time alone every day;
9. Open your arms to change, but don't 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 look back you can 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 — don’t bring up the past;
14. Share your knowledge — it's a way to achieve immortality;
15. Be gentle with the earth;
16. Once a year go some place you have never been before;
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other;
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it;
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
