I was waiting in the hallway of the clinic and observing the people around me. A young man met someone he knew and reached out his hand saying, hello'. An elderly man in his 80's, standing next to me went, "tut...tut!" I turned to him, enquiringly. He mentioned one of the 14 rules of life is - Never shake hands while seated. I was amused and asked him, "what are the other 13?" Here are Mr D's Rules For Life: 1. Never shake a man’s hand sitting down. 2. In a negotiation, never make the first offer. 3. When entrusted with a secret, keep it. 4. Return a borrowed car with a full tank of fuel. 5. Never turn down a breath mint. 6. Request the late check-out. 7. When shaking hands, grip firmly and look people in the eye. 8. Hold your heroes to a higher standard. 9. If you need music on the beach, you’re missing the point. 10. Never be afraid to ask. 11. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be. 12. Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like crazy, underneath. 13. Experience the serenity of travelling alone. 14. Thank people who serve you. What can you add to these? #rulesoflife #lifemantra #lifelearning #mentoring #coaching #farzanasuri #victorycoach #lifecoach #motivationspeaker #wordsofvictory
