Lessons My Mother Taught Me
- Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
- Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
- Great love and great achievements involve great risk.
- Remember the 3 R's Respect for self, Respect for others, Responsibility for all your actions.
- Smile when picking up the phone, the caller can hear it in your voice.
- When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
- When you win, don't gloat too much.
- When you say "I love you", mean it.
- Marry someone you like to talk to. When you get older, their conversational skills are as important as any other.
