The prestigious 9rules blog network (in which I am a member of) is based around 9 main rules. I decided to take the 9rules and apply them to things you can all relate to; things which will help you improve your life and become a better person.

1. Love What You Do.

No matter what you are doing you need to enjoy it to be any good at it. Start to enjoy what you do, don’t just do it for the sake of it. Immerse yourself in the task in hand and take any opportunity you get.

2. Never Stop Learning.

People learn from their mistakes, and in turn learn from experience. Take note of these things, if you find out a certain type of post is working well on your blog, note it down. If you are at work, or school and are really not enjoying what you are doing, read rule one and start making the most of your time and opportunities.

3. Form Works With Function.

Make sure things in your life and house serve a function, and serve that function well. Don’t furnish your home based on what looks the best, research and furnish it to work well for how you live your life. Keep the two balanced.

4. Simple Is Beautiful.

Things dont need to be over complicated, keep them simple. If you are assigned a task to do, if it takes less than a few minutes do it right away. Keep your life and routine simple, dont take on too much at once, but do your absolute best and put in as much effort to what you have on your plate.

5. Work Hard, Play Hard.

Dont spend all your time focusing on work, mix up work time and play time, and make sure they are defined well. When you are doing one, you are only doing that.

“Zone” out and keep at one task at a time, dont mix homework with TV, complete one, then move into the other once you are completed.

6. You Get What You Pay For.

Dont go buying a cheap DVD player and be overly disappointed when it stops working 3 months later, if you want top quality, you will have to pay top notch for it. Dont go thinking you can skimp short and still receive something top quality.

Pay a reasonable price, and you should receive a good or service of reasonable quality. This goes for buyers and sellers.

7. When You Talk, We Listen.

Talking, writing, or blogging, no matter what it is, do it for a reason, with intent, and with passion. Be confident, people will take notice.

8. Must Constantly Improve.

Keep working and striving for improvement. You might be the best cook in the world, the best tennis player in your city, or the best blogger in your niche, there are always things you can improve on. Dont stop at success, find things you can work on to keep striving for improvement.

9. Respect Your Inspiration.

If you stumble across a cool idea, make it known where it was found. Dont just stop there, improve on that idea to make it your own. Even better than that, set your own trends, and watch others follow.
