RULES FOR BEING HUMAN ~
You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called life. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work". Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, there are still lessons to be learned. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" has become "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here". Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

Rules:
1. You will receive a body. You may like or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school, you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons do not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. "There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here," you will simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better than "here."
7. Others are merely mirrors for you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need, what you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this!

"Rules for Being Human" was given to me by a dear teacher in high school. She had acquired it somehow and felt a need to pass it on, as I do now.

I love it! You should keep the rules in a place where you can always see them, as they're a beautiful reminder for you, as well as the rest of us, to check the correctness of the rules.

Arun ji,
The teacher loved you. So, she passed on the rules to you. You love us, and so you are passing on the rules to us. Fine. But from the time your teacher passed on these rules to you, much water has already flowed in the river Ganga. How can the rules be static?
Mr. Cherie Carter-Scott saw the world through his glasses. Will his glasses fit everyone?

Hi Arun,
Thank you for the nice message. Dr. Mahanta - I think good philosophies are evergreen and they can be adapted to the changing needs of time. Just like a bee goes from flower to flower and takes the nectar as per its need, whenever we come across books/quotations/words of wisdom, we need to take the nectar from them as per our need.
