Motivational Words for the Day

Posted at 8:57 AM, Jan. 31, 2006

One of my favorite motivational speakers is Anthony Robbins. There's some mighty fine advice in these words.  This has been provided by the Anthony Robbins organization.

1. Give people more than they expect and do it  cheerfully.  
2.  Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational  skills will be as important as any other.  
3.  Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.  
4.  When you say, "I love you," mean it.  
5.  When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.   
6.  Be engaged at least six months before you get married.  
7.  Believe in love at first sight.  
8.  Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.  
9.  Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live  life completely.  
10.  In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.  
11.  Don't judge people by their relatives.  
12.  Talk slowly but think quickly.  
13.  When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why  do you want to know?"  
14.  Remember that great love and great achievements involve great  risk.  
15.  Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.  
16.  When you lose, don't lose the lesson.   
17.  Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and  responsibility for all your actions.  
18.  Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.  
19.  When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct  it.  
20.  Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your  voice.  
21.  Spend some time alone.
