Recommended For: People Who Still Believe in Myth and Legends About LifeReviewer: Noi
This such an interesting book! I love it! I know the cover is not that attractive but who cares? It is the inside that matters.
I am just a Burke Hedges fan. His books are so simple to understand and somehow when facts are simple, you remember it better!
This books talks bout living life using the wrong set of rules. These rules have been passed down from generation to generation that no one really question it anymore. The problem is, we are in the new millenium! What work then might not necessarily work now.
Some of the wrong set of rules are:
1. Dont waste your time with dreams
2. The best things in life are free
3. You are too young to retire
4. Dont rock the boat
5. Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door
6. You cant be in 2 place at the same time
7. Hard work is its own reward
8. Offer constructive criticism
9. Accept only valid excuses
10. Dont mix business with pleasure
These set of rules is way outdated to me! Even so, I cant believe there are people still listening to those same set form of rules from donkey years ago. These rules need to be break! Nuff said.
Burke emplasizes of the importance of living your life, not mere existing. He therefore recommends the next 10 rules to make.
1. Go out and claim what is already yours
2. Get the whole story
3. Become Unequal
4. Its better to own half a watermelon than a whole grape
5. Make some bad decisions
6. Develop X Ray vision
7. You are who your friends are
8. Bills rule: Show people whats in it for them
9. Go a little crazy
10. Enjoy the journey.
Obviously only someone who has make their rules as part of designing their life is going to be more accomplished than those dont. What do these rules actually mean? Let me tell you..................................................
You have to go read it yourself!! Worth every cent and dollar. You might also find yourself chuckling away when you realise that you have been living with the wrong set of rules.
Excellent read.
