Klem’s Corollaries on Life, excerpt ii

(11) Don’t be rude.

(12) Don’t use foul language. It depreciates your own character rather than that of the person to whom your foul language is directed.

(13) It’s not always what you’re obligated to do that’s most important. Oftentimes, it’s what you don’t have to do but care enough to do it anyway.

(14) Change the filters in your furnace and air conditioning intake.

(15) Don’t be a one-upper. Let someone else have their moment.

(16) Complaining is for those who have given up. Remain above that self-degradation. Just think of a solution and move on.

(17) Sun block. Use it. Your kids too. This’ll make more sense once you’re 40+ years old.

(18) Eat vegetables.

(19) Read to your kids. And once they’re able to read, take the time to listen to them read.

(20) Train your dog.
