I've got that going for me, which is nice.




I read this on another blog.


1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
3. Follow the 3 R's: Respect for self, Respect for others, Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
7. When you realize you've made a mistake take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open arms to change but don't let go of your values.
10. Remember that sometimes silence is the best answer.
11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones deal only with the current situation. Do not bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go someplace you have never seen before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for one another exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

-- The Dali Lama

Unless that's from a painting with melting clocks, I believe that should be "Dalai Lama."

You are correct, and so am I. Evidently the 'diety' doesn't give a rip how it is spelled as both are recognized by google and the exiled government of Tibet.

However, the English dictionary from dictionary.com agrees with you.

To be difficult, I will leave it alone on the post because that is how I roll.
