13. These emotions are a
natural part of life, but if
you constantly feel angry
or jealous toward others,
you are going to have a
difficult time finding
happiness.

15. This is about standing in the
other person's shoes and
realizing what place this
person is coming from (pain,
fear, loss, etc.). Remember that
everybody has his or her own
struggles and insecurities;
understanding this will help
you be more sensitive toward
other peoples' feelings, learn to
bond with others, and feel less
isolated. And practicing
empathy will help you to treat
others as you would like to be
treated.
20. Stop spending a lot of your time
obsessing over the things you
wish you had. Instead, count and
appreciate the things you do
have. You might be surprised if
you actually focus on what is
already good and helpful in your
life. Chasing dreams can
sometimes lose you the sight of
what's already before you.
22. Not everybody can afford to
donate thousands of dollars
to their favorite charity, but
that doesn't mean you can't
make small contributions to
help those in need.
28. Life must be a balance between work and
play. If you constantly indulge in pleasures
like partying or eating sweets, you will
eventually become bored with life and
nothing will satisfy you. Instead, indulge
in these things periodically so that you
will truly appreciate them.
31. Not only is it courteous
to thank others, it will
help you become more
appreciative and to
learn see the capacity
for good in other
people.
32. If you live long enough, you'll
make mistakes. But if you learn
from them, you'll be a better
person. It's how you handle
adversity, not how it affects
you. The main thing is never
quit, never quit, never quit.
William J. Clinton
33. In my life I've learned that true
happiness comes from giving.
Helping others along the way
makes you evaluate who you are. I
think that love is what we're all
searching for. I haven't come across
anyone who didn't become a
better person through love.
