http://chriztoburd.blogspot.com

I found this little post on http://9gag.com and i found it interesting and possibly true!

These are 'a few' instructions you can follow everyday in life to make your life and the life of people around you just a little bit better... no matter how terrible it may be...

Let's see which of these do i follow or have followed before in my life:

Sing in the shower (I do it all the time!)
Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated (hey, it's my life's philosophy/motto)
Watch a sunrise at least once a year (check!)
Leave the toilet seat in the down position (err... i do leave it down in my mom's toilet)
Never refuse homemade brownies (I never! if only I were offered homemade brownies..)
Strive for excellence, not perfection (this is a good one! I'll follow it now onwards)
Plant a tree on your birthday (never done this before...yet!)
Learn three clean jokes (I have tons!)
Return borrowed vehicles with the gas tank full (I haven't borrowed vehicles before besides bicycles)
Compliment three people every day (I will!)
Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them (erm.. okay..)
Leave everything a little better than you found it (not everything but I do leave SOME things better than I found it)
Keep it simple (of course!)
Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures (that's me!)
Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know (I'm the most positive and enthusiastic person to many people! Muahaha!)
Floss your teeth (I done it before...)
Ask for a raise when you feel you've earned it (I've asked for increase in marks before)
Be forgiving of yourself and others (I AM!! maybe a little too much)
Over-tip breakfast waitresses (never done that before)
Say "Thank You" a lot (yup!)
Say "Please" a lot (check!)

Wear polished shoes (did that in National Service! haha)

Commit yourself to constant improvement (for sure!)

Be the first to say "Hello" ( I always am)
Use the good silver (I never had good silver)
Return all things you borrow (well duh)
Make new friends but cherish the old ones (friendship is the most important to me)

Never underestimate the power of love (I don't know)

Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation (I should learn from this. I keep explaining myself.)
Don't be afraid to say, "I made a mistake" (I'm not)
Don't be afraid to say, "I don't know" (certainly not)
Compliment even small improvements (yup)
Keep your promises no matter what (I do, people don't)
Marry only for love (I shall!)
