Rules for Living

  1. Never panic. Stop, think, breathe.
  2. No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves just like you.
  3. Never change haircut or colour before an important event.
  4. Nothing is either as good or bad as it seems
  5. Do as you would be done by eg. thou shall not kill
  6. It is better to buy 1 expensive thing that you really like than several cheap ones that you only quite like
  7. Hardly anything matters: if you get upset, ask yourself, 'Does it really matter?'
  8. The key to success lies in how you pick yourself up from failure
  9. Be honest and kind
  10. Only buy clothes that make you feel like doing a small dance
  11. Trust your instincts, not your overactive imagination
  12. When overwhelmed by disaster check if it's really a disaster by doing the following : (a) think: "oh, f*** it," (b) look on the bright side and if that doesn't work, look on the funny side. If neither of the above works, then maybe it IS a disaster so turn to rules 1 and 5
  13. Don't expect the world to be safe or life to be fair
  14. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.
  15. Don't regret anything. Remember there wasn't anything else that could have happened, given who you were and the state of the world at the moment. The only thing you CAN change is the present so learn from the past.
  16. If you start regretting and thinking, 'i should have done....' always add, 'but then i might have been run over by a lorry or blown up by a torpedo.
  17. You are who you are and not someone else.

The 1st 16 was taken from a book called olivia joules and the overactive imagination by helen fielding... its a great bk and the "life philosophys" make sense... the last one no 17 was added by myself ^^
