n quotations from Life’s Little Instruction Book part 6 by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

don’t rain on other people’s parades

stand when greeting a visitor to your office

don’t interrupt

be prepared you never get a second chance to make a good first impression

don’t expect others to listen to your advice and ignore your example

give thanks before every meal

take a kid to the zoo

watch for big problems they disguise big opportunities

give people the benefit of the dount

make someone's day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind you

don’t make the same mistake twice

keep a key hidden somewhere on your car in case you lock yourself out

never discuss money with people who have much more or much less than you

never buy something you don’t need just because it’s on sale

don’t be called out on strikes go down swinging

question your goals by asking “will his help me become my very best?”

cherish your children for what they are not for what you’d like them to be

after you’ve worked hard to get what you want take the time to enjoy it

be alert for opportunities to show praise and appreciation

be a leader

remember the lead sled dog is the only one with a decent view

your mind can only hold one thought at a time make it a positive and constructive one

marry only for love

count your blessings

call your mother
