This was an interesting article, though most of the points seem to revolve around the theme of "Never giving up". I found the first one particulary interesting (the make your bed one). here's the points in summary: 1. "Make your bed" - start your day off by accomplishing a small task. Little things in life matter and add up. 2. "Find someone to help you paddle" - You can't accomplish great things alone, you need friends and collegues. 3. "Measure a person by size of heart" - Judge people by their deeds not ethnicity, etc. 4. "Get over being a sugar cookie and move on" - Sometimes no matter how great you do things, they fail. Accept it, keep going. 5. "Don't be afraid of circuses" - in face of constant failure, learn from it each time, persevere, let it make you stronger. 6. "Sometimes slide down the obstacle head first" - Don't be afraid to take a risk in order to achieve greatness. 7. "Don't back down from sharks" - people/events will actively try to take you down, stand your ground, fight back. 8. "Be your best in the darkest moment" - During the hardest/most critical times, you must be calm and composed to bring your peek performance. 9. "Start singing when you're up to your neck in mud" - Be a bearer of hope, persevere in it, there is power in hope. 10. "Never ever ring the bell" - Never give up, never quit. I would be interested in knowing what other HNers have for good points they try to live by.
