1. First, do no harm.
Think about it. If everyone could pull off this simple goal, the world would be transformed overnight into a far, far better place. It sounds so easy in theory and yet it’s so hard in practice. Still, it’s a pretty impressive priority, if you ask me. 2. Enjoy your time here. How much of our time do we spend hating, whining, arguing, fighting, and generally making ourselves and everyone around us miserable. Sadly, social media, blogs and comments have extended that to include just about everyone. Try making it a priority to enjoy yourself. See how that works out for you … and everyone around you. 3. Provide kids with more opportunities than you had. This may sound like falling off a log but, in it’s not. In this day and age, just being a good parent and ensuring that your children have a chance for a better life than you had is an incredibly honorable and difficult goal to achieve. And the payoff is a better next generation. 4. Experience the real world, explore your inner world. The greatest learning comes from two places: experiencing the real world and exploring your inner world. Today, we’ve become voyeurs of a two-dimensional world bound by tiny little displays. If you get out and do things and quietly explore your mind, your learning will become boundless. And that leads to the next two goals.: 5. Leave a legacy of knowledge. Where would we be without the breakthroughs and insights of great scientists and philosophers. The lessons of our forefathers? The art, music, and creations of those who lived to share their unique perception and gift with the rest of us? 6. Do great work. If you can somehow manage to figure out what you love to do, you can strive to be the best and achieve great things. Whether that’s building wonderful products that customers can’t get enough of or making sick people well, that will serve you, your family, and the greater good. Doing your best work is a powerful goal. 7. Be a good man among your fellow man. The longer I’m on this planet, the more I’ve come to realize that what seems to be the simplest of goals is actually the most difficult to achieve … and the most noble. In my experience, none is more challenging than simply being a good man among your fellow man. Try it for a week, or even just a day. See how long you last.
