Default My 10 rules

Don't watch modern culture
Don't buy anything unnessessary
Never get into debt
Don't eat junk food
Don't be lazy exercise
Don't gamble
Declutter
Educate yourself
Never be a wage slave
Avoid advertising

As you may have guessed working for myself, accumalating money and keeping fit are important to me in this phase of my life.

Does anyone else have a 10?

I like the following as general guidelines for how we ought to live.

Be open minded and flexible
Make judgements and decisions based on the given situation
Good communication and understanding leads to better outcomes
Give others the benefit of the doubt
Live by your own internal values and standards
Find every excuse and reason to love life
Never lose the capacity to explore life with childlike curiosity and enthusiasm
Be grateful for all the small pleasures and privileges you have
Laugh at your self and bear life with a grin
Get a cat - they are love

Can you elaborate on this one? Both on what you consider modern culture, and why?

I don't have ten but ones I have been using recently.

1.Everything anyone ever says about anything in any capacity is opinion.

2.You have to make your own way.

3.The point of reading PD is to move beyond the words.

4.Nothing anyone says about you means anything unless you agree.

5.The world does not have opinions or feelings, YOU do.

Theres probably more but thats what I remember off the top of my head.

No rules but guidelines and they transform depending on things.

1. Don't think so much.
2. Enjoy that luscious experience of being fully here, now, planted in myself.
3. Soak up all the joy from all the simple pleasures.
4. Dance like no one's watching.
5. Sometimes playing the game is win/win.
6. I am in charge of how I feel and the shape of my life.
7. Take advantage of perpetual opportunities to fall completely in love with and be dazzled by this moment right . . . . here.

There are different arguments for refraining from advertising your services/product than from trying to look at no advertisement.
