Do you
live by the 12 values Robert Louis Stevenson listed in 'Treasure Island'?
One of
the most interesting traits of any person is the value system by which he or
she lives. I wonder how many of us ever take the time to sit down and really
think through the moral precepts that consciously or unconsciously guide our
lives.
I
stumbled across this personal creed of “Daily Dozen Values" by writer
Robert Louis Stevenson (“Treasure Island") many years ago, and I've always
wanted to write about it because it is as true today as it was in 1875 or so
when he wrote it.
- Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
- Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.
- Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others.
- You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.
- Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.
- Do the things you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt.
- Don't borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than the actual ones.
- Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities and grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
- Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.
- Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.
- Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
- Keep busy at something. A very busy person never has time to be unhappy.
