1. Do Not Interfere In Others' Business Unless Asked.
3.
Do Not Crave For Recognition:
This
world is full of selfish people.
They seldom praise
We all
have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace
of
mind. You know that you work harder than your colleagues
in the
office, but sometimes they get promotions; you do
not.
You started a business several years ago, but you are
not as
successful as your neighbor whose business is only
one
year old. There are several examples like these in
everyday life. Should you be jealous? No. Remember
everybody's life is shaped by his/her destiny, which has
now
become his/her reality. If you are destined to be rich,
nothing
in the world can stop you. If you are not so
destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained
by
blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get
you
anywhere; it will only take away your peace of mind.
5. Change Yourself According To The Environment:
environment single-handedly, the chances are you will
fail.
Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. As
you do
this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly
to you,
will mysteriously change and seem congenial and
6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured:
This is
the best way to turn a disadvantage into an
advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences,
ailments, irritations, and accidents that are beyond our
control. If we cannot control them or change them, we must
learn
to put up with these things. We must learn to endure
them
cheerfully. Believe in yourself and you will gain in
terms
of patience, inner strength and will power.
7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew:
This maxim needs to be remembered constantly.
We often
tend
to
take more responsibilities than we are capable of
carrying out.
This is
done to satisfy our ego. Know your
limitations. . Why take on additional loads that may create
more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding
your external activities. Reduce your material engagements
and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation. This
will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make
you restless. Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of
Meditation calms the mind and gets
rid of
disturbing thoughts.
This is the highest state of
peace
of mind. Try and experience it yourself. If you
meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will
tend to
become peaceful during the remaining twenty-three
and
half-hours. Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it
was
before. You would benefit by gradually increasing the
period
of daily meditation. You may think
will
interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this
will
increase your efficiency and you will be able to
produce
better results in less time.
9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant:
An
empty mind is the devil's workshop.
All evil actions
start
in the vacant mind. Keep your mind occupied in
something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a
hobby.
Do something that holds your interest. You must
decide
what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your
hobby,
like social work or religious work, may not always
earn
you more money, but you will have a sense of
fulfillment and achievement. Even when you are resting
physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental
10. Do Not Procrastinate And Never Regret:
Do not
waste time in protracted wondering " Should I
or
shouldn't I?" Days, weeks, months, and years may
be
wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan
can
never anticipate all future happenings. Value your
time
and do the things that need to be done. It does not
matter
if you fail the first time. You can learn from your
mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and
worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes, but
do not
brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET.
Whatever happened
was
destined to happen only that way.
Why cry over spilt milk?
I bet when anyone sees the title 10 rules they think its the ten commandments in the Biblical book of Exodus 20
You know why they are 10 rules, because ten sounds official, we have ten fingers, its a decade, the decimal system, its a physiologically satisfying number, the top ten, the ten most wanted. so having ten rules is really a marketing decision, it sells better.

ANTI BIBLICAL VIEW ON THE COMMANDMENTS
Courtesy of evilbible.com
There are many Christians and Jews who demand that the Ten Commandments should be displayed in public institutions. In my opinion it is only fair that if the commandments are to be displayed, so should the penalties for breaking those commandments. Matter of fact they should be posted in its entirety so that society can see just what kind of crap these religions are feeding us. I also encourage those of you Judeo/Christians who visit here to print out this very list and post it where your children can see it. It’s time you explain to them what a murderous, unjust god you brainwash them into worshiping.
1st. Commandment, Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”. Old Testament punishment - Deuteronomy 17:1-5 “And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heavens, which I have not commanded. Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing and shalt stone them with stones, till they die”. Deuteronomy 13:6-10, “If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is of thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. Thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God." Exodus 22:20 “He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed”. New Testament punishment - Mark 16:16 “He that believeth not, shall be damned”.
2nd. Commandment, Exodus 20:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water below.” Old Testament punishment- Deuteronomy 27: 1 5 “Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image.” That’s right kids don’t EVER draw, sculpt or paint or else god will curse you. Wanna be an artist, a photographer, take a picture of yourself or family? TOO BAD, God says no! You better drop out of art class before he smites you with boils.
3rd. Commandment, Exodus 20:7 “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain”. Old Testament punishment - Leviticus 24:16 “And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death”, New Testament punishment - Matthew 12:32 “Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. Mark 3:29 - “He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgivness, but is in danger of eternal damnation”.
4th. Commandment, Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy”. Old Testament punishment - Exodus 31:15 “Whosoever shall work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death”. Numbers 15:32. “And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day…And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.”
5th. Commandment, Exodus 20:12 “Honour thy father and thy mother”. Old Testament punishment - Exodus 21:15-17 “And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death”. More punishment - Exodus 21:17 “And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death”.
6th. Commandment, Exodus 20:13 “Thou shalt not kill”. Strangely enough this is a commandment despite all the punishments that require death in the New Testament and the Old Testament. How can thou not kill when thou is commanded to kill at the same time? This hypocrisy should be pointed out if the ten commandments are posted in schools, court rooms and buildings of legislation. The confusion of this commandment would surely bring capitol punishment into question.
7th. Commandment, Exodus 20:14 “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. Old Testament punishment - Leviticus 20:10 “And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death”.
I am working on compiling the list of punishments for commandments 8, 9, and 10. They should be up by then. In the mean while I have several other random commands by god that are quite interesting which I have listed here. The following command is very relevant for it requires a mandatory belief in the biblical god. Following the Ten Commandments, which are also listed in Deuteronomy 5:7-21, there are a number of curses which shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. These curses are given in Deuteronomy 28:17-68. Space does not permit all of them to be quoted, but a few are that the Lord will smite thee with consumption, fever, hemorrhoids, scab, madness, blindness, boils, and many more even worse.
For those of you Christians who disregard the Old Testament (even though Christ said it was forever binding), I have gathered together a great law from the New Testament. Romans 1 :29-32 “Those filled with unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, hate for god, despite, proud, boasters, inventions of evil things, disobedience to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, unnatural affection, implacable or unmerciful nature: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death”.
Now I have had the displeasure of meeting many a Christian and I have one to meet as of yet, whom according to this list, are NOT worthy of death. How many of us feel envy, wish to fornicate, boast or gossip? How many Christians are guilty of debating? Why every day some Christian is debating the word of god or his dogmas with me. Every day I am the victim of deceit and despite at the hands of some Christian verbally harassing me for my beliefs. No wonder why god said that there shall only be 144,000 in the heaven out of all his followers.
In Conclusion:
Christians and Jews should post the commandments up in their parochial schools and in their churches/temples. But, if they insist on doing so they should print out this very page and hang it up for all to see. Don’t be a half-ass religionist; educate your children on what God truly commands. Stop thriving on telling half truths about your Bible/Pentateuch and publish the WHOLE story. Most importantly, do not think you have the right to post them in public institutions. It is MY job to educate MY child. Children need to learn the true meaning of love, compassion, morality, forgiveness and mercy. Not the filthy dogmas your Jehovah commands. Quite frankly, in comparison to hell-fire and damnation I’ll stick with Big Bird.
Ten commandments Exodus 20:1-21
KJV Exodus 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am
the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods
before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or
any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the
earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth:
5 Thou
shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
the children unto the third
and fourth generation of them that
hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,
and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the
LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that
taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it
holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But
the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant,
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not
kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not
steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou
shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing
that is thy
neighbour's.
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the
lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking:
and when the people saw it, they removed, and
stood afar off.
19
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but
let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 And Moses said unto the
people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may
be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 And the people stood
afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God
was.
Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
KJV Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
The word rested in the text above has been understood to mean that God ceased from the work of creation and began the most important work of all which was super natural and that is why people in every seven days must spare one to rest from their physical activity and engage in spiritual service, fasting and prayer.
KJV John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
