Jerry Seinfeld's three rules of life

Seinfeld_2 Jerry Seinfeld, the American stand-up comedian, was featured on a talk show that I was watching briefly yesterday as I darted in and out of my living room. I don't know whether you have heard of his Three Rules Of Life? He was talking about them yesterday and I thought to myself, yes, they make very good sense!

So what are they, Seinfeld's three rules of life, and how can they apply to us in our everyday lives?

First rule: bust your ass. What he was trying to say was, live your life to the fullest. Whatever you do, try your hardest. Just give it your best shot. Be exceptional in what you do. Follow your passion. Just work your darn hardest.

Second rule: pay attention. Pay attention to everything that is going on around you: the details in your work, the way you learn, the way you talk and communicate with others. Understand the bigger picture and how you fit into the grand scheme of things.

Third rule: fall in love. Make the world a better place. Everything that you do, fall in love with them. Fall in love with life - your job, your business, your customers, your services and products, your families. Cause people around you to fall in love with their lives. Fall in love with the environment and bask in the glory of nature.
