Some Rules in Life

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

When you say, "I love you," mean it.

When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.

Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don'thave much.
Love deeply, and passionately.

You might get hurt but it's the onlyway to live life completely.

In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, theirconversational skills will be as important as any other.

Don't judge people by their relatives.

Talk slowly but think quickly.

When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smileand ask, "Why do you want to know?"

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

How to Beat the Cost Living

How to beat the High Cost of Living
From the book: Who say's you can't?

The prices of commodities and services have all gone up and are going up. Married couple with average income must know some practical reminders on how to tighten thier budget and still carry on the heavy burdens of daily living with a smile.

1. Prefer necessities to luxuries. Make food first priority, not jewelry or clothes.


2. Ride in jeepney or bus instead of taxi. Walk if its possible, instead of taking a ride, after all walking is a healtful exercise, a good physical investment. If you have a car, save extra few pesos a month of riding in a public transport every other day.

3. Stop being fashion- consious these days. Reduce the desire and habit of buying new clothes regularly.

4.Eat in the office canteen or in less expensive restaurant or bring "baon" to the office.

5. Have your children study in less expensive schools or in public and state schools.

6. Plant vegestables and raise chickens in your backyard.

7. Reduce smoking, drinking and entertaining expenses.

8.Take a sideline to bost your income.

9. Indulge in self-improvement that would be lead to job promotions and salary increase.

10. Pray like a Psalmist: Lord give me neither beggary nor riches: give me only the necessities of life; and God give you abundantly.
