THE WISE MAN’S TEN RULES OF LIFE
Do not hope that your body will be free from illness. If you do
not experience illness, you will be fallen to temptation in
arrogance and thus act immorally.
Therefore, the wise man says that you should think of your
illnesses as good medicine to learn from.
Do not expect a life free from hardships. Without the experience
of hardships, you will become arrogant and boa****l.
Therefore, the wise man says to gain wisdom from the obstacles
of life.
Do not expect to learn self-discipline without any hardships.
Without hardships. your learning will always be incomplete.
Therefore, the wise man says to think of the obstacles as
everyday occurrences.
There will always be people who will not cooperate with your
plans. If there were not, you would not be able to learn.
Therefore, the wise man says to befriend those who will be
against you so that they may help you to learn.
Do not expect your plans to be fulfilled easily. if they are
easily fulfilled, you will be prone to arrogance.
Therefore, the wise man says to enjoy the overcoming of
obstacles as learning experiences.
Do not befriend someone for your own interest only. If you do,
you will only hurt yourself.
Therefore, the wise man says to seek friends who may not always
agree with you so that you may learn from them.
Do not expect others to always agree with you. If they do, you
will always think that you are always right.
Therefore, the wise man says to look to those who disagree with
you so that you may learn from them and become wise.
Do not expect something in return for helping someone. If you
expect something, then you will become prone to arrogance.
Therefore, the wise man says to forget and to be satisfied only
with the help that you have given.
Do not expect to gain more than you have contributed. If you
gain more than you have put in, then you will have evil thoughts
which will prevent your progress.
Therefore, the wise man says to be satisfied with humble
profits.
Do not always try to vindicate your feelings of victimization.
If you try to vindicate yourself. you will have to put the blame
on someone or something else.
Therefore, the wise man says that through this experience, you
can open the door of self-discipline.

Deibel Rules of Life
By the butterfly effect, you hold some responsibility for any
event that occurs.
Spoons and forks are created by man, but sporks are
manifestations of pure nature.
Assume nothing is mundane; life is automatically more
perplexing.
No matter how hard you try, you will never see the invisible
truck that will run you over in the street.
The one thing in life guaranteed to go wrong is Murphy's Law.
One person cannot make a difference unless someone else notices
that difference.
You can fail yourself, but failing another is not permissible.
Two years of therapy is equivalent to an hour talk with the
right dog.
You use your tongue for tasting. Tasting good.
Fight not to win the battle but to win the war.
If something you desire that others you love have is denied to
you, do not hate that which you desire, but instead embrace your
friends' having of it. Denying something to all is not the
answer.
That which you makes you stronger probably should have killed
you, but it didn't.
Live. Then die. In that order. No exceptions.
It's amazing how much you can say without actually saying it.
When all is said and done, being alone in life is better than
being chased by an axe-wielding maniac.
Before telling a joke, check its expiration date.
Talking to yourself is okay. Giving yourself the silent
treatment because you're mad at yourself is not.
When rating how well something went, the fact that nothing
spontaneously caught on fire is a good thing.
Be like a blob.
For good health, be anal about one thing every day.
Our imaginations house our future, our potential, and our ruin.

Ask the questions that you have.
Every king needs his sword.
Happily ever after is not for the real world. The stories of
your life don't end when the book does.
A good way to feel superior is to ride an elevator where your
floor is higher than everyone else's.
You are not the hero of some movie, novel, film or story. You're
not the villain either. You are not even a supporting character
for someone else. You just are.
People carrying umbrellas need not walk under awnings.
If it has the word 'uber' in it, it must be good.
The enemy of 'good' is 'better'
Only the present is fixed. Both the future and the past are
mutable in how you look at them.
You are alive, dangnabbit!
If ever in Shangri-La, ask for directions and leave.
You must always casually conform... at your earliest
convenience.
Never question the cream puff.
If you can build a frickin' dysonsphere, you better be able to
do artificial gravity as well.
Just as cars should allow pedestrians to pass, so should the
pedestrians occasionally allow cars to pass.
If you cut the baby in half, the problem will solve itself.
Misunderstood words can still hurt once understanding is
achieved.

sociologically damaging.

save the one saving grace that if you didn't have life, you'd be
dead.

Buying a Brita water filter alone will not save the environment.
Never make important life decisions when working in a greenhouse
in July in Kentucky.
Before you can compromise, you must be selfish.
The first step to universal harmony is to kill off the
tone-deaf.
The answer to 'the Chicken or the Egg?' is turtles all the way
down.
Picking up a bundle of straw does not unbreak the camel's back.
If all it took to fly was a cape, Dracula would not have needed
to transform into a bat.

Charles Sykes, author of DUMBING DOWN OUR KIDS, speaks at high
school and college graduations sharing a list of things the
graduates did not learn in school. In his book, he talks about
how the ongoing feel good, politically correct atmosphere has
created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and set
them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1:
Life is not fair, get used to it.
Rule 2:
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will
expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about
yourself.
Rule 3:
You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high
school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone until you
earn both.
Rule 4:
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He
doesn't have tenure.
Rule 5:
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents
had a different word for burger flipping; they called it
opportunity.
Rule 6:
If you screw up, it's not your parents' fault so don't whine
about your mistakes. Learn from them.
Rule 7:
Before you were born your parents weren't as boring as they are
now. They got that way paying bills, cleaning your room, and
listening to you tell them how idealistic you are. So before
you save the rain forest from the blood-sucking parasites of
your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own
room.
Rule 8:
Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life
has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades,
they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right
answer. This, of course, bears not the slightest resemblance to
anything in real life.
Rule 9:
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off,
and very few employers are interested in helping you find
yourself. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10:
Television is not real life. In real life people actually have
to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11:
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one...

Biggest Rule Of Life!!!! Even when you try to hide and be quiet
as a mouse in hopes that nothing will go wrong, something is
bound to go wrong!!! Then you either get off your butt and fix
it and hope you do, or sit back and do nothing and wish you
had!!!!
Never sit back, for those are moments you will never get
back!!!!
Another thing, life is not over till we believe it is over and
do nothing....rise to look at the sky and listen to the
sounds.... for that is life, and that is free....and yes when a
tree falls in the forest it does make a sound!!!
