21 Rules of the James Bond Lifestyle
« on: June 03, 2013, 06:27:02 pm »
Just for fun. Good guidelines (with the exception #20, the 'rental' advice. In the US, not the most financially sound option)

It's no mistake that rule #1 and 21 are the same.  If you pay attention to those two, the rest kind of fall into place.  Follow these rules for two months and watch the magic happen.
 
  1 - I never run out of cash.
 
  2 - I accomplish, learn, give, and enjoy something every day.
 
  3 - My base of operations is always clean and organized.
 
  4 - For challenges I improvise, adapt and overcome.
 
  5 - I dress up, even at home alone.
 
  6 - I eat vegetables, fruit, drink water, exercise, and sleep.
 
  7 - I carry enough cash and credit to operate efficiently.
 
  8 - I chose my contacts carefully and avoid villains.
 
  9 - I never give up, but I can change directions.
 
10 - I'm not afraid to pay for what I want.
 
11 - I get good value for my time and money.
 
12 - I circulate all things good. The bad stops with me.
 
13 - Everyone I meet benefits from the experience.
 
14 - I am always early for meetings.
 
15 - I edit out negative verbalizations.
 
16 - On the job I am always professional.
 
17 - I am constantly learning by reading a book a week.
 
18 - I tip freely like Bond.
 
19 - My car is clean, filled up, and ready to go.
 
20 - I rent what I need and take mental possession of it.
 
21- I never run out of cash.

Found this related quote. Thought it would be useful in the future so marking it here for reference.
