Excerpts
Always get the door for a lady, even if she’s your own daughter. The example will not be soon forgotten and may ensure that she falls in love with a gentleman.
Don’t get angry. Nothing good ever comes from anger; solutions are found by deliberate action. Not only is anger ineffective, it can damage feelings and harm relationships. Don’t be passive; transform your anger into positive, constructive action.
Make your mistakes teachable moments. Set an example for your children not as a perfect god, but as an imperfect human just like them. You will not be able to hide your mistakes, so highlight your failures and present them as endearing lessons on what not to do. This will create an environment of open dialog in which your kids will be more likely to admit and share their mistakes with you.
Challenge your beliefs, study what you oppose.Whatever your political, religious or philosophical beliefs are, make an effort to study and understand systems you might presently disagree with. It can be enlightening to find points that you agree with in belief systems that you thought you were totally against.
