Hi,
Long Back i had come across this one. Reading it made me smile at the simplicity yet the totally doable practicality of the below 'philosophy'--for want of a better term :-)
Go thru it and adopt whatever you can and add your own ones (i added the last line):
Be patient.
Be open minded.
Savour special moments.
Smile often.
Make new friends. Rediscover old ones.
Tell them you love them,
And when you tell them feel it.
Ignore worries. Pardon enemies.
Forget problems. Keep promises.
If you get more than one chance,try again.
Try not to make mistakes, &
if you do, learn from them.
Prize your good ideas.
Be crazy.
Notice where the sun is in the sky.
Appreciate miracles when they happen around you.
Listen to the rain.
Watch for rainbows & falling stars.
Look for the beauty around you.
Smile with your heart.
Give with your heart.
Be gentle always.
Confide .
Hope. Desire. Work hard.
Pray . Have gratitude for the Good stuff and let go of the Bad ones.
My humble attempt and musing to grow up and hopefully be a better human being during this life time. I plan to share some of the books, writings, poems that have helped me grow up so far. Of course the journey continues till the last day. I would love to hear from the readers which books, writings, poems, anything else which have influenced them in their lives. ~~ I get lots of nice "forwarded" emails. The blog also serves as collecting pot of these selected stories & writings.

Welcome Rita as a guest contributor. A nice start by sharing the "practical philosophy". Looking forward to your ongoing contribution. At the end of the day, it's the learning from the collective wisdom which helps all of us grow.
Manish.
