To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.</p>\n<p>RULE SIX: Nothing is a mistake. There\u00e2\u0080\u0099s no win and no fail, there\u00e2\u0080\u0099s only make.</p>\n<p>RULE SEVEN: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.</p>\n<p>RULE EIGHT: Don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t try to create and analyze at the same time. They\u00e2\u0080\u0099re different processes.</p>\n<p>RULE NINE: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s lighter than you think.</p>\n<p>RULE TEN: We\u00e2\u0080\u0099re breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities.</p>\n<p>HINTS: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything. It might come in handy later.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http://www.openculture.com/2014/04/10-rules-for-students-and-teachers-popularized-by-john-cage.html\">10 Rules for Students and Teachers Popularized by John Cage - Open Culture</a>.</p>\n"
