I was talking with a friend recently and kind of made on off hand joke about rules to live life by, only it really wasn't a joke. I've never sat down and written out the basic rules I follow, but I definitely have a set of parameters for my interactions with other people. Ones I realized I have not been following recently, and it has caused problems. These 'rules' aren't really short, pithy statements about life and how to get through it easily so much as they are statements that should be obvious.
For your enjoyment.
Miche's rules for life
1. Accept people for who and what they are
2. If at all possible to do not have expectations
Expectations lead directly to disappointment when they aren't met.
3. Pay attention when someone is willing to teach you something
You never know when something might come in handy later, the more you know the easier it will be to problem solve (which will hopefully get you a job).
