Son, how can I help you see? May I give you my shoulders to stand on? Now you see farther than me.
Now you see for both of us. Wont you tell me what you see?
That first list of fatherly advice contained 511 entries. I mailed him a new collection every two years. These lists were published as little books, and to my surprise and delight became bestsellers. But Adam and I are most proud of the fact that this correspondence between us is now available in 28 languages and is valued by others throughout the world as a cherished reference and useful guide. This new edition brings together all three volumes of Lifes Little Instruction Book and offers them in what I think is a most handsome package. The rich, dark binding and gold embossing certainly make the contents appear important.
But Adam tells me he has always thought so. After reading a few pages, I hope youll agree.

One
Compliment three people every day. Have a dog. Watch a sunrise at least once a year. Remember other peoples birthdays. Overtip breakfast waitresses. Have a firm handshake. Look people in the eye. Say thank you a lot. Say please a lot.
Learn to play a musical instrument. Sing in the shower. Use the good silver. Learn to make great chili. Plant flowers every spring. Own a great stereo system.
Be the first to say, Hello. Live beneath your means. Buy great books, even if you never read them. Drive inexpensive cars, but own the best house you can afford. Be forgiving of yourself and others. Learn three clean jokes.
Wear polished shoes. Floss your teeth. Drink champagne for no reason at all. Ask for a raise when you feel youve earned it. Buy whatever kids are selling on card tables in their front yard. If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.
Return all the things you borrow. Teach some kind of class. Be a student in some kind of class. Never buy a house without a fireplace. Once in your life own a convertible. Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.
Learn to identify the music of Chopin, Mozart, and Beethoven. Plant a tree on your birthday. Donate two pints of blood every year. Make new friends but cherish the old ones. Keep secrets. Take lots of snapshots.
Never refuse homemade brownies. Dont postpone joy. Ask someone to pick up your mail and daily paper when youre out of town. Those are the first two things potential burglars look for.
Miracles happen every day.
Show respect for police officers and firefighters. Show respect for military personnel. Dont waste time learning the tricks of the trade. Instead, learn the trade. Keep a tight rein on your temper. Buy vegetables from truck farmers who advertise with hand-lettered signs.
Put the cap back on the toothpaste. Take out the garbage without being told. Avoid overexposure to the sun. Vote. Surprise loved ones with little unexpected gifts. Stop blaming others.
Take responsibility for every area of your life. Never mention being on a diet. Make the best of bad situations. Learn to make something beautiful with your hands. Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you. Support a high school band.
Admit your mistakes. Use your wit to amuse, not abuse. Remember that all news is biased. Take a photography course. Let people pull in front of you when youre stopped in traffic.
Even if youre not, pretend to be.
No one can tell the difference.
Ride a bike. Choose a charity in your community and support it generously with your time and money. Slow dance. Steer clear of restaurants with strolling musicians. Dont take good health for granted. When someone wants to hire you, even if its for a job you have little interest in, talk to them.
Never close the door on an opportunity until youve had a chance to hear the offer in person. Dont mess with drugs, and dont associate with those who do. Avoid sarcastic remarks. In business and in family relationships, remember that the most important thing is trust. Forget the Joneses. Never encourage anyone to become a lawyer.
