10 Rules to Accomplish By Age 40
What is a given here is that by the time one reaches age 40, they must have a thorough understanding of these rules. Take a look at folks you admire and look up too... I bet they follow these rules!
1. Do your homework.
2. Develop your own style.
3. Put your emotional life in order.
4. Know your weaknesses.
5. Know your strengths.
6. Put away your "I quit money".
7. Build a network.
8. Learn to delegate.
9. Keep your mouth shut.
10. Do not worship false gods.
"If one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams and endeavors to live a life in which he has imagines will meet with a success uncommon among men."

9 months to go. I'm never going to make it.
Develop your own style? does "looks like he got dressed with the lights off" count as a style?

Well I can say I did that, but a word of caution, when you get past 50, #9 comes back into play....
