Do not assume that people have a strong incentive to do what is essentially your work for you. Try to work around them, if possi- ble, or make a back-up solution. 7. Listen to your own heart. Be aware of the caveat that you may have been taught to ap- preciate what others have told you to appreciate. For example, if meat tastes good, perhaps it is good no matter what “scientific evidence” health food advocates present. 8. If someone makes a statement that may impact you, verify the statement yourself before you adjust your life according to the statement. If someone tells you some- thing, he or she does so for a rea- son. It may not be straight-forward to determine whether the statement is true or false. If you verify the statement, you’ll know. 9. Remember that people don’t change. Very severe actions are re- quired to affect someone’s person- ality, so unless you own a brain- washing facility, don’t expect that anyone will alter his or her behav- ior. An asshole will always be an asshole, no matter if he promises to be nice. People often find differ- ent names for their behaviors, con- victions, and philosophies, but they don’t change. 10. Never acquire something that will cause you more grief to depart with than the joy it brings you to own it. Remember that anything you own will own you back. You may have to make periodic payments to keep it working in which case the item requires you to work for it, or you may be afraid it might be sto- len. 11. Solve the present problems only and always. A potential problem is not a problem until it becomes present. This does not imply that one should wait until the last minute to solve a problem. Instead, it means that one should not worry until one knows that there’s something to worry about. Once a problem exists, take action to solve it. A problem will always solve itself if left unattend- ed, but the solution will generally not be to your advantage unless you take control. 12. Do not expect to own some- thing until it is in your posses- sion. If you expect someone to give you something, you do not have it until it is in your hands.
