I like these.

#5 - You never get a second chance to make a good first impression: I have a slightly different view on this. Or maybe it's the "yes, and..." view. While it's true that you should make a good first impression, you do sometimes get second chances (and third/fourth, etc.). 

I think the next interaction you have with someone is an opportunity to make another "first" impression, and the other person will likely remember that one more than the one previous. Does it erase what might have happened before? Of course not, but if you allow your own mistakes to get in the way of your future interactions, you'll be giving up. Each interaction is an opportunity to fix issues from before, improve impressions you may have given before, etc. We can't let our own stumbles keep us from trying again. And, as much as possible, we shouldn't let others' stumbles keep us from giving them another chance (within reason :)).

Love #9.

You got that right!

In Vino Veritas!

Judaism has a similar list that predates yours called ‘elui devarim’, these are the things and encompasses many of yours. They are said within the daily morning prayers. The ending is ‘but the study of Torah outweighs them all. I always figured that Abe Lincoln who read Bible everyday was a good model. Like you! Blessings Marilyn

Definitely #9!! Too many people don't really listen. They're busy thinking about how they're going to respond.
