Don't take to heart every thing you hear.
Don't spend all that you have.
Don't sleep as long as you want；

生活的忠告
诵读导言
人应该生活，而非单纯生存。这里是一些人生忠告，熟记它们会让你受益匪浅。
不要轻信你听到的每件事，不要花光你的所有，不要想睡多久就睡多久；
无论何时说“我爱你”，请真心实意；
无论何时说“对不起”，请看对方的眼睛；
记住三个“尊”：尊重你自己；尊重别人；保持尊严，对自己的行为负责。
口语点津
对那些感情随意的朋友忠告：Never say“I love you”if you don't care. Never talk about feelings if they aren't there.
对那些单身朋友的忠告：Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it，the more it eludes you. But if you just let it fly，it will come to you when you least expect it. Love can make you happy but often it hurts，but love' s only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it. So take your time and choose the best.
