Hello,
A few years ago I started trying to come up with rules or truisms about life that were solid and hopefully applicable to everyone. If you search for 'rules of life', there are various lists of sayings that seem to be about lowering your expectations of life. I wanted to find the things that were the 'kernel' of life. There just happens to be ten of them.
Anyway I'm posting them here just to get them out into the world. Perhaps they're daft or flawed, perhaps they'll give you ten seconds of amusement:
- Freedom is the most important thing in life.
- Never make assumptions.
- Look for something and you'll find it.
- You'll end up regretting the things that you don't do, not the things you do.
- Complacency is costly.
- Everything is a compromise.
- When in doubt, do nothing.
- A life without risk is a life not worth living.
- The difficult things in life are the things worth doing.
- Life is partly what happens to you, but mostly how you react to it.
I wonder if 8 and 9 are too similar, I like them separate.
So there you have it! Lose no more sleep wondering about the problems and mysteries of life! All solved!
