Never tell a lie but never tell the whole truth, and never miss an opportunity to go to the lavatory. Everything matters, but nothing matters that much. Make sure you marry someone who can cook. Never fall out with anyone. Never leave the bar first because everyone will talk about you. When one door closes, it’s shut! Take criticism constructively, not personally and see it as an opportunity to improve yourself. Beware of all enterprises requiring new clothes. Never trust a man wearing a clip-on tie. Stand up when you’re making a difficult phone call. Be confident and not arrogant, and don’t be arrogant and not confident. If you’re not for you, who will be? If you’re only for you, what are you? If not now, when? It is never your extravagances you regret, only your economies. Never touch anyone "on camera", and never be seen on TV carrying a baby or an animal. Sleep for eight hours...
