Respect shown is respect earned. If every person on Earth respected each other, disagreements resulting in dangerous behavior, I believe, would be far more scarce.

Too often we try to use pure logic to debate. We tend to forget that how an argument is presented can often be just as important as the argument itself to captivate and endear our audience.

This goes for everything. Buying a new car? Get in an accident? Someone say something offensive? A few minutes of thinking and waiting before saying or doing anything significant can change the outcome of your day, week, month or even life.

There's a time and place for debate, and knee-jerk reactions from extremely biased people on either side serve very little purpose besides sucking away your free time. Find a proper forum for discussion and have a real debate.

Lying shouldn't be for personal gain, but "never lie" isn't quite right either. If you can tell a small lie to lessen the load of stress on a loved one ("You go on, I already did the laundry!" Then frantically doing the laundry before they get home.) then don't feel bad.

You should always be as good as you can be. It won't be the same every day, and some days it won't be very good at all, but always try. Those who notice will appreciate it more than you can imagine.

You can't win every fight, you can't always change the world, but smiling is easy and can make you feel happier. There is usually tomorrow!
