How to be Happy: The 10 Rules of Serenity at Life University
A funny but very true guide to living life with peace and serenity. This is a list of 10 very important rules to live by to reduce pain and stress in your life.
You will receive a vessel called “a body”
You might like it or dislike it; it doesn’t matter, it’s yours for your entire
enrollment at Life University. We do not have any replacement “bodies” for students who have either lost theirs or do not like the one given to them.
Lessons will be learned
You will be automatically enrolled in a class called “Life101.” Each day in this class, you will get an opportunity to learn lessons. You might like the lessons or dislike these lessons. We apologize but you cannot test out of “Life 101,” it is a requirement and prerequisite for all other classes we offer.
There is no such thing as a “mistake,” only “a lesson”
If you start to dislike these “lessons,” feel free to continue thinking of them as “mistakes”; your misery is optional. Conditions of your enrollment at this University do not consider refunding your time wasted in “misery.” Your growth in this area is dependent on “Trial” and “Error.” Your failed experiments have as much weight to your grade as your successful experiments.
Lessons are repeated until they are learned
Lessons will be presented repeatedly until they have been learned. Once a full understanding of a given “lesson” has been obtained, your prerequisite will be met allowing you to move on to the next “lesson.”
Lessons will never be completed
As long as you are enrolled in our school, you will continue to learn lessons. If you do not like these lessons, then we are sorry for your inconvenience and can refer you to another University called “Non-Existence University.”
Other students are simply mirrors of yourself
Do not be jealous or hateful to your fellow classmates. Our teaching experience has shown us that hating one of your classmates is a direct reflection of something you hate within yourself. We have a class called “Humility 101″ if you are interested in overcoming this obstacle.
You are here until graduation, make the best of it
Remember, completion of our graduate degree from Life University can take approximately 70-100 years. We provide you with the resources and tools you need; what you do with them is up to you.
The other campus is no better than this campus
When “the other campus” seems better than “this campus,” simply visit “the other campus” and report your findings to our Administration Office. We are sure “this campus” will start looking better once you have spent some time at “the other campus”
The answers to all exams lie within yourself
That’s right! We will let you cheat on each and every exam by looking deep inside yourself for the answer!
Post these answers some place they can be viewed daily
In our experience, students forget these rules on a daily basis so we ask that
You post them somewhere important.

This is awesome and full of truth. You have only lived 27 years and figured this out. Knowledge is power, and you are on your way to living a rich life.
God Bless,
