Rules
...Chris Olson: Logical negativist. Flourished in the last part of the 20th century. Propounded a set of laws the world generally ignores, to its detriment...
- There is only where I am, today, and what happened yesterday to put me here; and yes, there is tomorrow, a tomorrow I cannot foresee or guarantee, one I can only prepare for by doing my best to hang in there today.
- Try to learn something new every day.
- The true measure of self worth is actually comprised of intangibles; Money is a detestable way of keeping score.
- Unless the service is terrible, tip at least 20%. Always.
- Even if you doubt that you'll ever be able to make up for your losses, don't give up on trying to win.
- A good friend will readily agree when you ask for 5 hugs. A great friend will insist on giving you 10.
- Don't wait until it's too late to appreciate something.
- Beware of giving to someone whose primary behavior involves taking.
- Follow through on anything and everything you commit to.
- Don't dwell on disappointment. Almost everybody will let you down at some point.
- Realize that there's a huge difference in being cheap and spending wisely.
- 93.7% of the things that upset you aren't worth getting upset over.
- If you have a choice between a million friends and a million dollars, choose the former... every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
- Look people in the eye and smile, even if you have to fake it.
- Surround yourself with people who will make you a better person, not those who bring you down.
- Don't be offended by the ignorant.
- Learn to appreciate the wisdom that only comes from age and maturity.
- Don't make someone a priority when they consider you an option.
- Define yourself and live within that definition. Don't let other people or easily surmountable obstacles decide who you are.
