Life Hacks and Rules for Living

Lots of Life Hacks and Rules for Living out there, and some are worth repeating, noting, while others are best ignored.    Here are a few.....

• Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson  - "Get yourself a really good bullshit detector."
• Russ Roberts - "Learn to enjoy saying, I don't know."
• Megan McArdle - "Be grateful."  and "Always order one extra dish at a restaurant, an unfamiliar one."
• Tyler Cowen -- When shooting the basketball, give it more arc than you think is necessary.  Consistently.
• John Perry Barlow - "Remember that your life belongs to others as well."
• Stewart Brand  quoted by Steve Jobs - "Stay hungry.  Stay foolish"

Others have things worth saying....

• Lloyd Kahn on old age.
• Anne Lamott on perfectionism.
• Henry Miller on turning eighty. 
• Jose Texeira - "I No Longer Have Patience."
• Mario De Andrade - "The Valuable Time of Maturity"

And maybe my favorite set, Satchel Paige - "Avoid running at all times."  and "Don't look back.  Something might be gaining on you."
