The Ten Commandments of Being a Lady
- Don't be a helpless damsel. Take pride in being self-sufficient and competent.
- Respect other people's time and be punctual to appointments.
- Resist the temptation to exploit other people's lives by gossiping.
- Speak up when others make offensive remarks. (In other words, don't let your silence
lump you in with the transgressor.)
- Don't be a slave to fashion. Dress to reflect your own unique personality.
- Never make your friends feel like replacements for when your paramour is unavailable.
- Refrain from raising your voice because "the louder you get, the more wrong you
sound."
- Steer clear of people who are married or in committed relationships when looking for
romance.
- Give back-- what you can, when you can, and as often as you can.
- Laugh often... especially at yourself.
