Speak the truth boldly; speak your opinions humbly.

Communication is not an exact science. No one will ever understand what you said exactly the way you meant it.

Never have a cell phone conversation in a public bathroom, especially during the process of bodily functions.

Never have a pet that could do you in, no matter how cool you think it is.

It is better to do one thing and do it well, than to do many things and do them poorly.

If you truly want to achieve greatness, you can never believe your own hype.

It is much easier to do it right, than to have to make it right later.

It does not matter if you fail (seemingly) at everything you try. Keep trying until you fail at failing.

Every so often, something I see, read or experience prompts me to apply a lesson I’ve learned from it to my personal life. 

From each of these, I tend to create a short, simple phrase to remember the lesson. I call them, Dub’s Rules for Life (mostly mine, but you can feel free to use them yourself).

Some are humorous, some serious, some are just plain silly, but all are the honest truth (as I see it anyway).

I’ll be posting each one individually, sandwiched between the meatier posts, for your enjoyment and discussion.  Each rule has a number, but that number is no reflection on how important the rule is, or how many there are (just fyi).
