Things I Must do Today

Smile.
Sincerely compliment at least three people.
Be a real friend.
Watch a sunrise and a sunset at least twice a year.
Smile.
Be the first to say "hello" to everyone I meet.
Forget the Joneses.
Treat everyone like I want to be treated.
Live beneath my means.
Say, "I'm sorry."
Never give up on anybody - miracles do happen.
Smile.
Never deprive someone on hope; it may be all he has.
Keep my promises.
Pray - not for stuff - but for wisdom and courage.
Maintain a positive attitude.
Be tough-minded but tender hearted.
Don't rain on other people's picnics.
Be kinder than necessary.
Remember, a person's greatest need is to feel appreciated.
Learn to show cheerfulness, even when I don't feel like it.
Smile.
Remember that overnight success takes at least 15 years.
Don't worry - be happy!
Leave everything better than I found it.
Remember that winners do what losers don't want to do.
Smile.
When I arrive each morning, let my first word brighten everyone's day.
Never waste an opportunity to tell someone I love them.
Smile.
