FAB- FOUR RULE TO LIVING FULFILLMENT

As men first emerged in the age of ice (a.ka. ICE AGE), men have been wanderers searching for the basic needs- a cave, a cloth (from leather....you know=), and a cow (or anything with equivalent value). To obtain the necessities; dubbed the '3C' requires a certain level of power.

It is arguably the transition of power in humanity are as followed:
1. Strength - Those with speed and dexterity
2. Status - Those with upperclass or royalty ties and positions
3. Silver - Those with cash and land
4. Skill - Those with knowledge and know how, where and when to use it=D


Obvious is that we are in stage four- and to survive and live like no one has ever dreamt- requires a stage four advice- follow the fab four rule!!!


RULE ONE: HAVE FUN

When a rich man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him: Whose?
Don Marquis (1878 - 1937)

Don Marquis as an excellent observant; tries to pinpoint a critical area in the philosophy of success- PASSION. When you are passionate in what you are doing, no matter how tough the going is; it will and should never be called hard work- it is named fun work. When you have PASS+ION, there will be a STREAM OF POSITIVE IONS that springs from your soul and MAKE A PASS AROUND the people surrounding you; stimulating them with EQUIVALENT BURNING DESIRE to form a COLLECTIVE UNDERSTANDING AND INITIATIVE to achieve the impossible=D


RULE TWO: DO NOT HURT PEOPLE

George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

This is the GOLDEN RULE or ethic of reciprocity; possibly the foundation to modern human rights. It is evident in the teachings of many great faiths; for instance:
Matthew 7:12"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Luke 6:27-36Love Your Enemies
27 "But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,28 Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.29 If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also. And if anyone takes away your coat, don't hold back your shirt either.30 Give to everyone who asks from you, and from one who takes away your things, don't ask for them back.31 Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them.32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.33 If you do [what is] good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full.35 But love your enemies, do [what is] good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.36 Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful."

RULE THREE: DO NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)

Be VICTORY CONSCIOUS. Always be VICTORY CONSCIOUS. Learn from TEMPORARY FAILURES. LEARN THE LESSON but FORGET THE STORY. Donald Trump, the property magnate once confronted an overwhelming financial crisis- he saw a person on the street and recounted how much poorer he is compared to him- it's negative- he is in debts- and it's not small; but he never give up, we could not possibly give up on ourselves- be tenacious- it is the best way to handle setbacks- he not only made a come back with the biggest financial turnaround in history- but made it to the Guiness Book of Records SIMULTANEOUSLY=O There is NO FAILURE, it's either YOU LEARN or YOU SUCCEED. That's what we call a story with a lesson!!!

RULE FOUR: STRIVE TO BE HAPPY

Think all good, Act all good and Thank all good. Live the moment. Dont worry about the past nor future. The past is past and the future is shaped by the present, you don't need a reminder which is more important, aren't you?
What comes around goes around. Dance like nobody is watching. Work like you don't need the money. Love like you have never been hurt. Live like there is no tomorrow=D

I have Google set to send me email when it finds references to the Golden Rule, which is what led me to your article.

I found your four rules very upbeat and positive. Thanks for sharing them.
