How To Be Perfectly Miserable

If your goal is to be miserable most of the time, the following ten actions will help you reach a state of misery in record time:

* Think about yourself. Talk about yourself. Drop "I" as much as possible into every conversation.

* Pay close attention to what people think and say about you.

* Expect to be appreciated.

*Cultivate suspicion, jealousy, and envy.

*Be sensitive to slights. Never forgive criticism.

*Trust nobody but yourself.

*Insist upon special consideration.

*Demand that everyone agree with your views and opinions on everything.

*Shirk your duties and responsibilities if you can.

* Do as little as possible for other people.

Here's a prescription for the blues...

If you wake in the morning and feel a bit blue,
And wonder whatever's the matter with you,
Don't go on a grouch the rest of the day
And make other people your penalty pay.

Just try to suppress it and put on a grin,
And no one will know what has happened within;
Just speak a kind word and do a good deed,
And others your action will certainly heed.

It was said long ago and today it's still true-
As you measure to others, it's given to you.
