Ten Rules for Being Human

By: Cherie Carter-Scott

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."

7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

The Road of Life.

1. Put a chain around a tree to give it iron.

2. Make sure people do not think your pepper spray is a flashlight.

3. When you can't tell if someone recognizes you or not, introduce yourself first.

4. Try Diet Cranberry 5 Calorie Cranberry juice, it's really good!

5. Never ask a policeman if he is sure about his decision. They do not like that.

6. Some locks are really hard to open. Pull down on the lock once you get to the correct combination and that should do the trick.

7. When you're trying to brown chicken, don't move it around.

8. Rice milk tastes interesting.

9. Don't sit in a running car in closed spaces- you will get carbon monoxide poisoning and die.

10. If you get something broken into, don't ask for fingerprints unless you really think you will get something out of that. The black powder is hard to get rid of.

11. You can't make hot tea bags become iced tea bags. It just doesn't work.

12. If your foot really hurts, don't keep running on it. You will pay for it.
