Principles

While reading the book "Principles (of Life and Work)" the author issued the prompt to write down my own principles and compare to the author's. Here is my brief attempt at the prompt. The list I generated is incomplete, imperfect, unordered, and poorly worded. The list I generated is mostly true and most of all I am satisfied with my effort.

• Keep a faith of God in heaven

• Do not rely on others for your own happiness

• Do not lie

• Do not worry about what other people think of you

• Ask ‘Why’ and ‘How’ as much as appropriate

• Problem solving - gather as much information as possible

• Be on the lookout for feedback/criticism/advice; then seek to understand that wisdom

• Receive wisdom; then seek to understand that wisdom

• Have fun

• Frick social media

• Don’t worry about politics or the news in general

• Friends are important; friendships take effort

• Work hard

• Keep organized

• Do not keep things that are unnecessary

• Effective communication is brief

• Be thankful for everything

• Everything you know was given to you - you did not discover anything new

• Utilize time as a tool (patience): problem solving, decision making, emotional judgment

• Be nice

I see now how the author wrote a book on his own principles - I feel as if I could do the same.
