Life's little instruction book

Hi bees! 

My wife shared in a family chat on Whatsapp a few phrases of the book named Life's Little Instruction. The book in question was wrote by Jackson Brown, a father who was concerned about his son's happiness. That was enough reason to write a book of tips before his son went to college, far away from home. His son decided to photocopy them and distributed among his classmates. All the phrases were so successful that a publisher asked Brown authorization to edit a book. 

The book quickly became a best seller and it was translated into several languages. 

Here the first 25 tips, I hope you learn from them, and if you like them you can buy the book on Amazon, just write the name of the book in the search box.
