This advice is a little pithy, but nonetheless, there are still some good reminders here. 

1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. 

2. Memorize your favorite poem. 

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 dreams. 

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 slow but think quick. 

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. Call your mom--and your dad. 

16. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze. 

17. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. 

18. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for all your actions. 

19. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. 

20. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
