What are the 9 rules of 9rules?
November 2nd, 2006
After submitting this blog to the [tag]9rules[/tag] network I noticed that their title page changed with each refresh, and with each one, showed one of the original 9 rules from their 1993 homepage:
- Love what you do.
- Never stop learning.
- Form works with function.
- Simple is beautiful.
- Work hard, play hard.
- You get what you pay for.
- When you talk, we listen.
- Must constantly improve.
- Respect your inspiration.
Though I think that rule #8 is mostly a consequence of #2, I agree with all the rules. And, I’ve been following some of them without even knowing that 9rules had “adopted” them as their own.
Though this isn’t new (at all), I think that it’s nice to review some good mottoes for your life, from time to time.
Just in case you’re wondering which rules are the ones I try to follow, they are #1, #2, #3 and #6. Not that I don’t follow, or disagree with the others, but these are just the ones I “emphasize” the most daily.
