I'm so lucky we use accent keys in Iceland, so I can write bahá'í and Bahá'u'lláh without problem :P

For me, as a bahá'í, I fell it is imporant to serve. Every day is a service to God. Wether it's walking to the supermarket, working, teaching, meeting people. If I do all that in the utmost humility and service that I'm happy.

You might be interested in some of the laws in the bahá'í faith. I'll point out a few from the tip of my head, from those that have not yet been listed:
Reading the obligatory prayer once a day (there is a selection of three prayers you can chose from)
Repetition the Greatest Name 95 times a day
Being obedient to the government of one's country
Reading the holy writings in the morning and evening.
No alcohol or drugs
We fast for 19 days each year.
Pilgrimage to Haifa in Israel at least once
Meeting every 19 days to hold a 19 day feast.

Ok, I looked some of these up on Wikipedia. And also found a few more thins that are forbidden that I wanted to list: begging, clergy, confession of sins, gambling.

I hope this helps. There are a lot of rules, but don't get carried away, in reality it's very simple: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGz7qPJRhbo
