My world, my rules

I love being the best.

I say this with little intention of humility.

If you have ever been the best of anything, you would probably know how stress and strain are inevitable in fulfilling your obsession. You would know how forces (with the exception of gravity) could pull you towards the deepest recesses of failure. (It's a shame when people do that.) You would know the festering corpses of success-seekers that are ready to haunt your existence and chomp on your hopes. You would know by now to trust no one.

And eventually, after experiencing all this, you achieve your own goals. May they be unexpected at first, but they come to you naturally. Then, you become the best of the best. You become the king. Therefore, I have often wondered why people tend to be humble about their achievements. I have little about the value of humility, of course, but I do have more against those who persist to hide their glory. If you are naturally humble - stop reading!

Think about it this way, it is your day. It is your moment. Bask in the glory of your hard-earned success. Stand on the peak of that mountain you have climbed for so long and shout with all your might to the little people below: "I DEFINITELY RULE!"

And if the rules of life ever slightly attempted to inject anything through my skull ever since childhood, it didn't work. Clouds of pride must have fogged up my brain systems or something. So out of necessity, I have my own  set of rules, demented as they may be, for the happy-go-lucky loyal rightists. But for those who don't need a reboot of their life, consider this a preview of my arena. It is a walkthrough  of my awards and accomplishments, as well as my trials and tribulations. Ladies and gentlemen, it is I. And in my continuous attempt to convert the whole world to follow my sick religion (hehe) in order to lure everyone into my twisted plot for universal domination (hehe), I now share them.

(Disclaimer: No one said you should follow them AND I am not trying to pollute anyone.)

1. Humility is not a necessity. If you are humble, amen. But if you're great, and you know you are, let the whole world know about it if you can.
2. If you need someone to look up to, idolize God. That way, you will always have a goal in life, knowing no one can ever be better than God. You can only serve Him.
3. The matrix' Neo is right: destiny is non-existent. You fell because you chose to. You can stand up whenever you want.
4. You alone can never have everything you want in this world. Pick a trustworthy friend you may want to share EVERYTHING with.
5. Don't dissect bedtime fairytale stories trying to look for morals. If they don't look for you, then that means you don't deserve them.
6. When in doubt, never flip a coin. Instead, play a quick game of chess against yourself.
7. When in trouble, don't build a specialized armor to separate you form your problem. Accept all blows first. Remember that wounds heal.
8. Never pour all your hard-earned time in preparing. Spontaneity is a vital gift only a few people possess, much less manage to hone.
9. Time is imaginary. It was invented by worry-warts. Honestly, I never saw anyone get something good out of time.

All these so-called "rules" are potentially detrimental to my reputation, I know. And in doing so, I may have just  corrupted whatever sanity exists in our society. But sharing my "rules" with you is still in good faith to the numero uno rule in my list. The SILVER RULE as I have dubbed it (silver because all other important rules are considered golden and the term has become monotonous.)

So...

   10. DO WHATEVER IT IS YOU WANT.  It works all the time.
