10 Rules for a Satisfied and Never Boring Life …
Life is struggle – that must not be whitewashed, that is an axiomatic matter of fact. Whether in nature or in the human community: The struggle for life (or survival), about eating or been eaten, destroys resources, the own ones, those of the adversaries, or both of them. However, primarily it must be a matter of preserving or even increasing resources in order to spend them in advantage of everyone. Humans really should be wise enough to achieve this. THUS the world will have a chance.
The “rules” following now came into form after 1985, have been set out in writing in 1992 … and thereafter no more modified, but – with relatively positive experience – performed and sampled, up to the present day.
1. OBSERVE YOURSELF CONSTANTLY WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENT.
Spend plenty of time to reflect about your observation results. This way you recognize your virtues and assets, but your weak points as well.
2. EXERCISE AND EXPAND YOUR VIRTUES AND ASSETS CONSTANTLY.
Use them wherever you can. This way you preserve and enforce them, and serve the environment. Successful works provide encouragement and self-confidence for you.
3. EXERCISE AND EXPAND YOUR ATTENTION CONSTANTLY TO ALL THINGS.
Everything you meet and what happens to you contains a message. It may be important for your own action.
4. DO NOT WASTE YOUR RESOURCES.
Just do only a little more than it is expected or demanded from you; this way you retain reserves for sudden incidents. It is better to do one´s duty constantly and reliably than performing some spectacular action.
5. KEEP YOURSELF ALREADY MOBILE AND FLEXIBLE.
This way you can, either shunning or advancing, apply resources at several locations.
Mobility is more important than pure force.
6. KEEP CALM AND PERSISTENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW TO ACT OR TO MOVE.
Let time pass by in order to make the environment launching messages.
An enemy reveals his aims and his intention the clearer the closer you let him approach – up to your pain barrier, or even beyond.
Your calmness and your persistence can irritate or distract him, or completely dissuade him from his intention before you have made one single step.
It is easier to forgive or to contract friendship as long as violence did not yet occur.
7. EXERCISE YOUR PATIENCE STEADILY.
This is the cardinal virtue and the way to wisdom. It grants to you your “balanced medium”.
Learn accordingly to suffer also destitution and pain, and to expand your pain barrier. The more you are successful, the more you will dominate your resources and your assets.
8. DO NOT HESITATE TO RETREAT.
You only occupy a new position in order to regain your “balanced medium” being able to act more effectively.
No defeat is dishonorable!
Defeats are natural consequences of human imperfectness, and of the superiority of tribulations which will go along with you all your life. Learn to accept them as a firm part of your life and include them in your thinking and acting. This way you never must despair, neither of yourself nor of other ones.
9. MOVE CONSEQUENTLY AND WITH FOCUSED FORCE IN THE APPROPRIATE MOMENT.
Keep watching with alert senses – as long as it is possible for you. Then you will discover exactly the “vacuum”, the “open weak point”. Direct focused, however, measured force thereto, and follow with your entire “balanced medium”. This way you take a new position which is as stable as your last one.
Especially after a long period of persistence such a focused and powerful movement will surprise the enemy, or even make him stop the attack.
10. FIGHT AN ENEMY CONSEQUENTLY, BUT ALWAYS INTEND TO WIN HIM OVER AS A FRIEND.
You better will live together with a further power than without or even against it.
Increase your direct violent action step by step, if the enemy does not cease from fighting, and when you notice that your own power, your patience, or your pain barrier gradually reach the limit.
