The most important rules, though, are our own rules. The ones we live by. A code of conduct we build for ourselves that help shape who we are and how we live our lives as individuals.
These are my rules (in no particular order).*
- There is no free lunch.
- Always carry a pocketknife.
- Always carry a handkerchief/bandanna.
- Say what you mean; mean what you say.
- Accept responsibility for your actions.
- Never wear a belt AND suspenders.
- Never loan money to a friend.
- Treat others with kindness and respect...even if you don't like them.
- Never say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.
- Honesty is the best policy.
- Ladies first.
