A few 'Universal Truths' from a wise man!


Dalai Lama's Message:

· Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

· When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

· Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, respect for others and responsibility for all your actions.

· Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

· Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

· Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

· When you realise you've made a mistake; take immediate steps to correct it.

· Spend some time alone every day.

· Open your arms to change but don't let go of your values.

· Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

· Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.

· A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

· In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

· Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.

· Be gentle with the earth.

· Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

· Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

· Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

· Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon

This is meant not in a religious manner but from a purely humanist perspective as a way of achieving equality.

It’s simple and if followed would work, but those ‘Consultants’ would never make any money out of it would they?

A very intelligent and wise man, do you think the local crims would take anything he says on board??

Big fella as always it is nice to hear from you and I hope you are well. Serendib, a mountain of a man, a bit like you, wrote this piece and no criminals are unlikely to listen, but then we as good people are. Also some of our managers don't listen either, and that's a ruthless rumour to put around. Serendib is a good man.
