Rules For Success

1 Maintain absolute integrity at all times.

2 Always do your best; never do anything half-heartedly.  (Either get into it, or get out of it.)

3 Never do anything to harm others.

4 Never do anything for which you'll be ashamed later.  (This is an important one!)

5 Always strive for excellence -- there's no substitute for it.

6 Practice moderation in all things -- including moderation.  (There's nothing wrong with a little excess once in a while.)

7 Don't take yourself too seriously.

-- Arnold Orville Beckman (1900 - 2004), American chemist, inventor, investor, and philanthropist, "Seven Rules for Success"
