1> Self Respect is very important. If you don't respect yourself, others will not respect you. They will take you for granted. You open yourself to ridicule and hurt from others. Some people mistake it for ego. But then ego is just an extension of self-respect. To some extent, ego is important in order to have self-respect.
The fact that you don't respect yourself means you don't understand the true meaning of respect. And if you don't understand respect, you will not be able to respect others.
2> Some people misuse words. Some use them too much. Words are like commodity; they follow the rules of supply and demand. The more the supply, the less the demand. For, if you use too many words, you are liable to use them flippantly, carelessly and unnecessarily. It deteriorates the quality of your communication.
3> Making jokes needs, not just humour, but wisdom and maturity too. Maturity to be able to digest a joke directed at you as well as to be able to pull a joke on yourself. Wisdom to be able to distinguish a joke from a snide. And wisdom to avoid making jokes on others. For your joke may be funny to you, but it may be insulting to others.
4> The key to your happiness lies in your hands. No one can hurt you. It is you and you alone, who open yourself to hurt from others.
5> Love has to be as light as a feather, as effortless as a bird's flight, as easily binding, as the simple bond between yin and yang... If it's burdensome, if it hurts, if it keeps you hooked like a fish on a fishing hook, then its not love... It may be a crush, it may be obsession, it may be an infatuation, it may be attraction, may be even lust. But it certainly aint love...
6> When you fall in love, its important to not take it very seriously at first. It will hurt you. And its equally important to take it very seriously at a later time. For if you don't, it will hurt your loved one.
