Justin's rules

Never compare yourself with others. 
Do good service to others without expecting anything in return.
Don't take simple things for granted (This depreciates true value)
If I'm in error of someone else I must do my best to correct it; if of myself learn from my error.
Forgiveness is for MY soul not for someone else.
The path to hell is paved with good intentions
If it's not worth the impact; it's not worth arguing.
Knowing is half the battle.
If you can't hear...you'll feel
Don't sacrifice your joy to bring other's joy. I only get one life
Always put logic and reason before emotion. This yields the best solution for a situation instead of comfort-ability
I have two ears, two nostrils, two eyes, and one mouth. I must observe 6 times as much I speak.
I must mind my own business instead of putting myself in others. 
No one can solve my personal problems better than me
Assume nothing and question everything I can. Trouble follows assumptions more than miscommunications.
No one person, is more important than another (people considered family exception)
Compromise is always wrong if it means sacrificing principle.
Seek Understanding of other’s without discarding my own reason
Ask for help only after I've given effort and failed.
If I can trade in materials things in order to have internal joy...do it.
Patience: neither the best nor the worst of situations last forever.
Tell the truth to the people I trust.
No one on earth is entitled to my life story
I can work with you or I can work for you but I can't do both.
When it becomes important to you will become important to me.
A leader who does not listen to his people will find himself surrounded by people who have nothing to say
He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man. He who knows and not knows that he knows is a fool.
Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
When the job is done... Walk away
Trust is the most expensive thing you can lose; because it can take years to build and a second to lose. 
Nothing worth having comes easy. Anything that comes easy...goes easy
Don't forget where you came from.
Those who forget the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat it.
He who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.
Never trust a woman who doesn't trust her man.
