Golden rules you live by?

Ah okay. I didn't realize it was an Assassin's Creed reference. It reminded me of undergrad philosophy students (e.g. Leopold and Loeb).

 

**** up some commas...

 

I find it funny how many people with minor exposure to philosophy latch on to Nietzsche as an excuse to be horrible people.

 

No means yes and yes means anal.

 

Don't $hit where you eat.

Don't Drink and Drive.

Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion.

 

Did a couple of jobs with my cousin who's a master plumber. He told me the 2 golden rules of plumbing:

1. **** don't flow uphill
2. Payday is Friday

 

Don't stick your dick in crazy (learned that one the hard way).

Don't respect people who don't respect you.

Never turn down a free meal or a free drink.

so much rep

 

Don't buy picante sauce made in New York City.

but in all seriousness: Never yell at your puppy. They don't get it. They'll just pee on the rug.

But that said, I can't yell at the TV during Rockets Games either now. My dog will hide in the bathtub or closet or climb on my lap licking my face, to make it all go away. So, I have to pause the game. This is mainly because I watch most games on League Pass on my headset, with no noise to her. So she freaks out when I yell/cheer at my computer for no apparent reason from her perspective.

 

Don't piss on the electric fence

Never make yourself an exception.
Assume everyone else is an idiot driver.

 

1.) Make people earn your trust, don't just freely give it to them
2.) Treat others the way you would want to be treated
3.) In every situation we encounter, there's almost always someone who's got it worse (Always be positive)
4.) Assume everyone on the road is sixteen, texting, drunk, while driving, that way you know what to watch out for.
5.) Always go for the best you can afford, that price being 10% less, may not be that good of a deal after all.
6.) At work (or anywhere else really); tell the truth as often as you can, it's amazing how many people would rather work with an honest idiot, than a lying genius.
7.) Don't let ANYONE tell you what you're not capable of doing. You never know if you "can or can't" until you already "did or didn't"
8.) Do what you love, not necessarily what pays the best, otherwise you'll grow to hate your job, no matter how many zeroes are on the paycheck.
9.) ALWAYS have a contingency plan. ALWAYS
10.) When driving through flooding water, don't try to "tip-toe" through it, once you decide to go, COMMIT to it! Otherwise you drastically increase the chances of stalling out since you have no momentum from your car to help you out.
11.) Never trust a company's own website reviews. No company in their right mind would ever publish the bad ones.
12.) No matter how hot it's been, how much sweating you've done, and how much rain has hit the city.....

yep, my Assistant Drill Sergeant in the Army (the bad cop who never stopped yelling at us) said that to me at graduation as he shook my hand.

"hmmm, low profile. Good job." i think because he didn't recognize my name.

 

Always feed your kangaroo

 

Don't forget to make reservations at Twin Peaks for your biker gang.

 

Never trust a skinny cook.

 

Never exonerate yourself of fault for anything.

 

My philosophy is basically this, and this is something that I live by, and I always have, and I always will: Don't ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever.
