1. The most important person in your life is YOU. Not your kids, not your spouse, not your parents. You will have to take care of yourself first before taking care of others you love.
2. Never depend on anyone else to be happy. Never depend on anyone else to make you happy.
3. Accept the fact that you and your spouse are really TWO individuals. If you can accept that, then most of your problems will be solved by themselves.
4. Your spouse can have things that they like, and you may not like them. Instead of forcing yourself do those things with them and ending up bitter, just happily let them do what they want to and you do things you like.
5. Do not always expect your spouse to do things to make you happy. You do things to make yourself happy. When you are happy you automatically will do things that will make them happy.
6. Do not worry about what others say or think. Do what you feel is right for you without hurting others. You are the only person you have to answer to and also the only person who have to be better than.
7. There maybe certain things in life that you may not be able to accept. Your spouse may have a certain quality or attitude that is totally against your beliefs. Don't stand up totally against it and fight it.
8. Every one has their own interests & common interests with their partner - don't convert them forcibly. Introduce them to your interests but let them make their own decision & at the same time be open to their interests. You don't have to like them all.
9. A marriage is two people with totally different wavelengths trying to make music together. If the pitch & frequency is not complementary, no harmonious melody can be heard; only static will occur. In most situations, a woman's store of infinite patience, self-belief and seeing things in the broader context of family rather than me/mine, will certainly help, in creating a symphony.
10. Make sure, you give in - all fights should be resolved at the earliest. You give up your ego for your own personal gain emotionally. You will notice a magical change in your spouse, the next morning. This is one instance where we win ultimately by losing ourselves. You stand to gain!

Friends and life
Sometimes I wonder what would life be if my friends weren't there for me? Whether it be when I am down in the dumps and need a shoulder to cry on, or when I want to share the good things happening to me.
Sometimes you don't know how special your friends are until you've lost them... or at least you're away for a while.
A good friend is someone who is there for you and you are there for them. They understand you and welcome you in their life as a special person.
For me a good friend is someone who is willing to hang out with you, talk to you whether you are happy or in pain. You seem to just connect. You need to trust them and you in turn need to be trustworthy. You both give and take.
A big thanks to all those special people in my life - "my friends": thanks a lot for being such an integral part of my life, I can't even imagine what my life would be without you. I am truly blessed to have you in my life.
Life without friends
Is like open fields without the rain.
No one is to share a word with in a day,
No one is to wipe your tears away.
Life without friends
Is like no water in an empty road.
No one is to give you a hand nor a hug,
No shoulders are to lean on.
I am running dry, my friend!!
My tears soak the road you walk.
Give me a chance, let´s talk!!...
Why don´t you give me a hand??
You melt and bury my tears in the sand.
Life without true friends
Is a lonely life to lead.
Let me plant the love seeds
In your heart to the end!!
Would you be my true friend??
We don't choose our family but we do choose our own set of friends.We all have our own set of friends, and best friends amongst them, and more often than not we fight, argue, then make up.
A special salute to all those who had stood by me in thick and thin, all those special people in my life.
A true friend is someone who knows there’s something wrong even when you have the biggest smile on your face.Never try to hide your sorrows from your friends, they will find out anyway even if you tried hard; and as the saying goes ” Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, “What! You, too? Thought I was the only one.”
Thanks guys for being there, can't tell you how important you are to me...cheers to our friendship!!!
