The Rules of Life

Written by:

Richard Templar

 عناوین اصلیِ قاعده هایی را که ریچارد تمپلار در این کتاب  معرفی کرده است در چند بخش تقدیم تان می کنم. علاقه مندان می توانند شرح کامل هر قاعده را با رجوع به خود کتاب بخوانند. از ترجمه ی این جملات خودداری کرده ام تا دانشجویان و علاقه مندان قلم خودشان را در این مورد به کاربگیرند و بیازمایند:

  1. Keep it under your hat. Don’t preach, propagate, even mention this.
  2. You’ll get older but not necessarily wiser. Wisdom isn’t about not making mistakes but about learning to escape afterwards with our dignity and sanity intact.
  3. Accept what is done is done. What is done is done and you need to just get on with things.
  4. Accept yourself. You don’t have to improve or change or strive for perfection. Quite the opposite. Just accept.
  5. Know what counts and what doesn’t. There are some things in this life that are important and a whole lot of things that aren’t.
  6. Dedicate your life to something. It’s a yardstick to measure (A) How I’m doing, (B) What I’m doing and (C) Where I’m going.
  7. Be flexible in your thinking. Try to see life not as the enemy, but as a friendly sparring partner.
  8. Take an interest in the outside world. Taking an interest in the outside world is about developing you, rather than for the world’s benefit.
  9. Be on the side of the angels, not the beasts. We get torn between what we want and what is good for others.
  10. Only dead fish swim with the stream. And that’s what life is, what it is meant to be: A series of struggles and lulls.
  11. Be the last to raise your voice. Shout here, argument weak.
  12. Be your own adviser. You know. And I know you know. I know because we all know.
  13. No fear, no surprise, no hesitation, no doubt.
  14. I wish I’d done that- and I will. The world is divided into those who look at others enviously and those who look at others as a motivational tool.
  15. It’s OK to give up. A good rules player knows when they’re beat.
