Self Guidelines [This Work will always be In Progress]

Please don't mind me as I talk to myself out loud.

----------

1) When others say, " It's impossible" or "You can't do it"...try harder. Be the Little Engine That Could.

2) Don't ask for help right away, but take a break as needed. Be persistent, not stubborn. Try, try, then try again.

3) Be responsible for your actions. Don't be that guy with your hand in the cookie jar.

4) Accommodate others. Walk many miles in their shoes if you must, and get them a new pair if you wear down the soles.

5) Keep your mind open as a book and flexible as Daniel Browning Smith. Try new things.

6) Think outside the box. Let your train of thought jump the tracks.

7) Be accepting of everyone's opinions--yours included.

8) Never stop learning.

9) Play a song for all occasions. Find one that complements your mood.

10) ...

Last) If people tell you this list sounds like a pile of fortune cookies: smile, share and then eat.
