Why?
Well, I needed a place to share my thoughts but only with those who really wish to read all this. As for me, Facebook, VKontakte and other social networks are like standing in a street and yelling everything that comes in mind. That really looks awkward.
I’m still figuring out how WordPress works, so some things may appear strange at the beginning. This environment here doesn’t seem difficult and indeed is user-friendly 🙂 However, as all other things, I’m used to learning by trials and errors.
Also, though I feel an urge to write in English, I’m fully aware that my language is rather primitive. Hope it gets better eventually.
10 non-Rules for Life
Speak out loud platitudes on every corner. Then everyone will agree with you and will think: “What a smart person he/she is”. And everyone will consider you an expert.
When negotiating a job, name overestimated terms and money, but eventually agree on real terms and money. Then it will be possible to forget about quality and delay the deadlines saying “I told you so”. And if the other side yet accepts the same overestimated terms and money, then as soon as possible give several reasons that prevent you from doing the job right.
Talk about your plans, not your achievements. If you can do it -it’s OK then. Yet, you’ll probably fail. Experiments show that among 150 million randomly sampled people only 1% will indeed check whether your planes correspond to your actions.
Use numbers in your speech. Numbers provide an impression that you really know what you’re talking about. (Of course, you don’t need to actually understand the subject.) If anyone asks “where did you get those numbers from?”, avoid this person in the future, he/she is too dangerous for you.
Always use “I think”, “it seems that”, “I’m not sure, but…”. If you turn out to be wrong, then you’ll be able to refer to the fact that you weren’t particularly sure anyway. And if you turn out to be right, than your uncertainty will be treated as a healthy scepticism.
Use every chance to get revenge. Vengeance will provide that the guilty feels the same way you did, so they won’t do the same mistake in the future.
Make the results of your work look greater than they actually are by adding some meaningless parts, which look the same as other, valuable parts.
This is a point reservation for the future, since I’m sure that clever thoughts will occur me one day. So it will be among the best 2,8% of thoughts ever, and it will cost you only $374. You might want to know, when this will happen, but inspiration is unpredictable, so I can’t fix any kind of deadline.
Do slightly less than you’ve promised. Then everyone will think you’ve done your best and there will be no complaints about the quality.
DO NOT APPLY THESE IN YOUR LIFE. No, really, we’ve got enough problems that need to be solved without inventing additional artificial problems of our own.
However, it seems to me that most of the people still live their lives according to these non-rules 🙁
