Apologies if you follow me on LinkedIn as you’ll have already seen this. And apologies if you are offended by the language but, you know, it’s the 21st century, we’ve just been through two years of pandemic, we’re facing the worst Great Power showdown since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 60 years ago, the environment is in free-fall, we’re all going to Hell in a handcart, and so I’ll use whatever fucking language I want to use.

#1. Do the fucking work. Don’t be lazy.

#2. Stop fucking waiting. It’s time.

#3. Rely on yourself. The Universe doesn’t give a fuck.

#4. Be fucking practical. Success is not a theory.

#5. Be productive early. Don’t fuck around all day.

#6. Don’t be a fucking baby. Life’s hard. Get on with it.

#7. Don’t hang out with fuckwits.

#8. Don’t fucking waste ebergy on shit you can’t control.

#9. Stop bullshitting. It’s fucking embarrassing.

#10. Stop being a fucking people-pleaser. It’s sad,

#11. Stop putting toxic shit in your body. It’s fucking stupid.

#12. Stop doing the same fucking thing and hoping shit will change.

Seriously… if you don’t do anything else, follow Rules #1, #8 and #12.
