For the Record

Richard Heusel, in presenting the 2007 KM Fabrics, Inc. Technical Production Award, shared "17 Instructions for Life" which he found useful. The audience for these tips is widened in this month's Last Word, at the request of the USITT Fellows. Clues about the origin of these Instructions would be welcomed.

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

Follow the three Rs:
  • respect for self
  • respect for others
  • responsibility for all your actions.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Spend some time alone every day

Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

Be gentle with the earth.

Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
