ANST - INSTRUCTIONS FOR A WONDERFUL, FULFILLING LIFE

[karl muller]

this is a chain letter i got. i don't believe in chain letters so i did 
not include the instructions, but i thought these "instructions" were 
pretty neat. learn some, use some. maybe if we all followed some of 
these, life wouldn't hurt so much.

here are five i like:

never wrestle with a pig; you both get dirty and the pig likes it.
never argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the 
difference.
never resist the opportunity to right a wrong.
don't ask the question if you can't live with the answer.
and my favorite:
never have a philosophy which supports a lack of honor and courage.
