Bob Parson's 16 Rules

I was just listening to a Bob Parson's blogcast and thought I'd share his 16 Rules. He says these rules have helped him in business and in life, so maybe they can help us, too.

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.
2. Never give up.
3. When you are ready to quit, you're closer than you think.
4. Accept the worst possible outcome.
5. Focus on what you want to have happen.
6. Take things a day at a time.
7. Always be moving forward.
8. Be quick to decide.
9. Measure everything of significance.
10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.
11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing.
12. Never let anybody push you around.
13. Never expect life to be fair.
14. Solve your own problems.
15. Don't take yourself too seriously.
16. There's always a reason to smile.

Charlie S was here this weekend to have a look at the furnace, which is on its last legs. He has a replacement for us and wanted to be sure it would fit — it will, which is great news for Queenee's pocketbook! Deacon will help him install it sometime in the late spring or summer, when we can afford to go a few days without heat.
