The 8 Rules To Live By





1.      Be CLEAN both inside and out
          (Cleanliness is next to godliness)

2.      Neither LOOK up to the rich nor down on the poor
          (No condition is permanent)

3.      LOSE if need be without squealing
          (Bear your vicissitudes with equanimity)

4.      WIN without bragging
          (A successful man is one who has conquered himself)

5.      Always be CONSIDERATE of women, children and older people
          (God is the Father of the helpless)

6.      Be too BRAVE to lie
          (A lie begets another and at the end, it will still find you out)

7.      Be too GENEROUS to cheat
          (Neither cheats nor murderers nor adulterers shall smell the Kingdom of God)

8.      TAKE your share of the World and let others take theirs

          (Live and let live)

    1. It's always good to be compassionate. No one knows when he or she shall be needing compassion because no matter how strong we are, some day our strength shall fail us and we shall have to depend on another
