10 Life Rules
by bernt & torsten
Do you have life rules that you live by, here are some thoughts about life rules to live by
- Nobody is thinking about you – So much energy is wasted on worrying, everyone is thinking about themselves – banish paranoid thoughts – so if someone is about to get you don’t fret about it, you can not control
- Live by the 70/20/10 rule – ignore the 10% that you will not be able to change, focus your time on the 20%
- Appearance is frequently reality – be yourself
- Envy no one – ever
- Don’t blame the parents for one’s life
- Never bring news of slander to a friend – if a friend brings bad news your guard is down and you react, if an enemy slander you, discount it
- Never expect gratitude – if you are spending your life to expect glory, you are going to burn yourself out.
- Go against the crowd to be a leader, not a follower
- Be a positive person
- Self-praise is no honor, you are a braggart, if another person says you’re great, people pay attention
