I stumbled across an article called Rules to Live By today while I was breaking one of my own: Don’t squander time wandering around the internet.
Among the dozen rules listed were some old standards: Never give up, practice gratitude, believe in yourself, and of course, follow the Golden Rule: Treat others as you’d like to be treated unless they’re not from your political party. No, they didn’t say that last part. I was just making sure you were paying attention.
Anyway, I was so inspired by the article that I continued breaking my rule about wasting time on the internet for the rest of the day. That’s because, out of curiosity, I typed the words “rules to live by” into the search bar and came up with 5,580,000 results. I didn’t read them all because that would have taken a lot of time and another one of my rules is “never miss a column deadline.”
