My Manifesto

My Manifesto

1.     Be superstitious – It prevents accidents. Don’t wear matching socks, walk over three drains, walk under ladders, put new shoes on the table, put up umbrellas inside. The list is endless.

2.     ‘Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting their battle too’ – Treat people well and eventually they will return the favor.

3.     ‘Remember that guy that gave up? Neither does anybody else!’ – Giving up isn’t the answer to anything. Nothing worth having comes easy.

4.     Don’t take life too seriously – No one gets out alive anyway.

5.     I will continue to daydream – It’s my way of getting away from reality, even if it is just for a minute or so.

6.     I hope that in the future – no matter what job I have. I will always try my best.

7.     I will always be sarcastic – taking things seriously gets boring.

8.     I will always ask stupid, dumb questions – I get laughed at, but I never forget the answer.

9.     I will always make mistakes – I learn more from failing and making mistakes than I do by doing everything right.

10.  ‘Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk’ – This will teach me to keep my mouth shut.

11.  If events in my life ever made me smile – There is no reason why I should have any feeling of regret towards it.

12.  I make my own fate – I will always have decisions to make, some harder than others but they have to be made. Maybe not always the right choice but everything happens for a reason.

13.  Laugh at myself – I will laugh at my own expense. When I fall over, when I say something stupid – laughter is the only cure for being humiliated.

14.  Take one day at a time – Be spontaneous. Be surprised. A lack of organisation isn’t always a bad thing.

15.  Karma – What goes around comes around.

16.  I will keep positive – Being negative gets you nowhere.

17.  ‘Be nice to people on your way to the top. Because they will be the ones that catch you on the way down’

18.  When I laugh so much my cheeks hurt – This is when I know it’s been a good day.

19.  ‘Everything will be alright in the end. If it’s not alright then it’s not the end’ – This is what I live for the most.

20.  At least once a year – I will pack up my bags get a tent and go camping. Sitting in the fresh air with a beer, friends and the sun is the most relaxing thing I could ever do.

This is the manifesto that I wrote for the manifesto. I ended up reducing the amount of points that I used for design purposes.
