How I Live My Life

In honor of my first job interview in several months, I wanted to post this list of important things to remember.

I originally saw this on a little plaque at the local deli, and I was very intrigued. I'm very cautious, I play everything safe, and I do not step out my comfort zone often...

I think there is a limit to how far some of these things should be taken—Many people have a very wide definition of "living life to the fullest"—but I think I, and maybe you, can take some of these and start to emulate them.

Who knows what we can achieve if we only take one or two of these simple things and apply them to our lives?
