The Artorian Approach to Life (based on the Artorian’s Archives series by Dennis Vanderkerken and Dakota Krout)
1. It's always good to have a sense of humor (even if your sense of humor gets the 'abyss' [this universe's way of cursing] knocked out of you). 2. Never stop learning: There is always new information waiting to be discovered. 3. Always have a set goal in mind, but make new ones as you progress in your current one. 4. Pillows are a must. They can be made out of different fabrics, and they are great for cushioning a fall from a major height. 5. Compromise, compromise, compromise. More often than not, this methodology is great for getting the things you want. 6. Learn to recognize an opportunity when you see it, because those are often hard to come by. 7. Once you learn a new skill, proceed to experiment and practice. Figure out what works or doesn't. 8. Try to stay organized every time you acquire new information. If you can't, have an assistant help you sort through the papers. 9. Have patience. Learning a new skill or engaging in the process of reaching a new goal takes time. 10. If you don't know something, don't hesitate to ask questions. Q&A's are valuable for filling in the gaps. 11. Always have a Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, etc. 12. Experience your emotions fully, but learn to let go when the situation calls for it. 13. When an unscrupulous party tries to take advantage of you, play along while secretly devising ways of flouting their plans. 14. Don't hold on to grudges unless they serve as a means to an end. 15. Never stop trying to better yourself. Always strive to reach new heights.
