1 Most rules are actually 'guidelines'
2 Every person you meet has something about him or her that is unique and interesting. Try to find that.
3 When someone hires you to do a job, give them more than they expect.
4 When you choose friends, look for people who laugh easily and make eye contact.
5 Find balance in your life. Work hard at something that matters to you but don't let it consume you. Life is short.
6 Your victories are my victories and your defeats are my defeats. If you don't always see that in my face it's because I want you to 'own' them first. I will share them when you've told me it's okay to do so.
7 If you have love in your home, you can make mistakes.
8 Age is a state of mind. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have your prostate checked.
9 I love you unconditionally. You have to earn my respect as I have to earn yours.
10 Spend your life doing what makes you happy, but set time aside to look after yourself. Finances are a fact of life. Invest time in yourself and your future.
And... The One Thing I WISH I Would Have Taught My Kids
That white thing, under the counter to the right of the sink... it's the dishwasher.
