The 7 Cardinal Rules of Life

While I did not formulate these 7 cardinal rule of life, I have to agree with the essence of their wisdom. This is a good first step to self-love and finding true happiness, and I hope offers some guidance to those looking for a better life. My only hope is that you find them helpful in your quest to a better, more fulfilling, and accomplished life. 1. Make peace with your past, so it doesn’t spoil your present. Your past does not define your future – your actions and beliefs do. 2. What others think of you is none of your business. It’s how much you value yourself and how important you think you are. 3.

The Night Watchman

Insanity has many meanings but the one I like is about doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results! The perfect example of this would be giving the government, any government, the authority to run some enterprise, any enterprise, and expecting it to be run well, efficiently, within budget and to produce a work product half as good as a company in the private sector could. It has never happened, it's not happening now and to expect it happen at any point in the future can be summed up in one word, Insanity! Now on to the short story: NIGHT WATCHMAN Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. 

 Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night.” So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the in...
