    so you can save lines
    Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
    Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.

    Don't even need to read it, never suffer from stress. The are only three things for a stress free life, keeping control, taking life easy, and basically not giving a about anything!

    Whatever you do today will be completely meaningless in 100 years, so why worry?
