我的生命里程表到了這個禮拜已邁過50大關，所以下列是新版的課表：
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
人生並不公平，但是還不賴。

4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
不要把自己繃地過緊，沒有人會這麼在意的。
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
不必每次都吵到贏，認同彼此的差異。
(求同存異，得理且饒人）
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
找個人一起哭吧，比獨自落淚更能敷慰。
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
對上帝發脾氣還OK啦，衪能包容。
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
從第一份收入開始存老本.
