A GOOD BOOK, scones and tea please...

Rules of Life. I have never before read a self coach book, but this just stand out to me. This book is simple with a set numbered of rules , each rule with an explanation why and how it'll improve our life. Although most of the rules are common sense ; the book reminds us about the little things we forget. There are also rules we never thought about and it is nice to be reminded and told. Richard Templar did a great job in writing this book with simple straightforward English and easy understandable reasons. A simple and light read that would certainly "tickle your mind 'buds'."


This might sound a little cheesy, but the truth is I do think reading this book made me much more light hearted and happier; knowing I'm out there trying to be a better person. Mistakes will prone to be made but at least now I'm more aware of it. It's just nice to be reminded, as we all tend to forget what matters in this fast-pace intense society!


Some of the rules that stands out to me includes:


Accept Yourself


Take an interest in outside world

Know what counts and what doesn't


You'll get older but not necessarily wiser 


Aim to be the very best at everything you do not second best


Don't expect to be perfect


Don't be afraid to dream


If you're going to jump off a bridge, make sure you know how deep the water is


Only dead fish swim with the stream


You'll never understand everything


Don't dwell on the past


Don't live in the future


Make sure your love making is making love 


Check what history would say about you


If you are going to be a friend, be a good friend


It doesn't hurt to forgive


It doesn't hurt to help


Be generous with your time and information 


Get involved!


Just because you have, doesn't mean they have to.
