I was going to through an old stack of papers the other day and pulled out a real gem. This was something I’d written a couple years ago and tried to keep close by so that I could read over it from time to time. These are things that I had read and thought about as things that I wanted to always remember to do and as rules to live by. Hopefully you will find them as important as I do.
