Mentions on the Internet:
I like being able to bring readers something that is free but delivers tremendous value. "Five Rules For Life" is a site that fits that description...It is no secret to long-time readers that I am a firm believer in motivational materials and the power of positive thinking. "Five Rules For Life" combines both, and offers the reader insight into what other people from different backgrounds consider to be "the most important rules to follow for a happy, successful, and fulfilling life". Check it out - it just launched today with around 30 submissions (including mine!)...you can literally spend an hour or two going through them and pick up some great wisdom. - Trader-X, The Trader-X blog.
An interesting blog site asks contributors to submit their five rules for life, along with a sentence or two of explanation. It's a worthwhile exercise for reflection, because the rules ultimately have to be expressions of your deepest values and beliefs. Below are the five that I offered...see the rest here. - Dr. Brett Steenbarger, Psychologist and Author.
Ooh, www.fiverulesforlife.com has launched! I have five rules on there (as do lots of people scarily more important than me). :-) - Ali Hale, Writer (The Office Diet, Aliventrues).
...editor's note - not true, Ali's "Five Rules" are excellent and she is just as important as anyone!!!
Because I’m a total sucker for life lesson self-help crap, I love the idea of a web site that compiles various individuals’ "five rules for life." - Gina Trapani, founding editor of Lifehacker.com, Author, and creator of Smarterware.
You'll find pearls of wisdom rolled out like we like them: in short, quick bursts. No long "self-help" articles. No drawn out stories. No nagging about bad habits. Just some words of advice you can use - or ignore - from authors, CEOs, teachers and regular guys. - The Bachelor Guy
Das Blog “Five Rules for Life” sammelt, was der Name verspricht: Grundsätze des Lebens, jeweils in Fünferpäckchen eingereicht von den Lesern. Hier etwa sind die fünf Regeln von Gina Trapani (über deren neues Blog Smarterware ich die Website gefunden habe), als Einstieg gut geeignet ist auch diese Zusammenstellung besonders eindrücklicher Regeln, die Jon D. Andre, der Herausgeber, in regelmäßigen Abständen wiederholen möchte. - imgriff.com
Gestern habe ich eine interessante Seite gefunden. Five Rules For Life...Ist ja fast schon zwingend, dass wir so eine Seite bei uns vorstellen, oder :-) ?

...editor's note - my German is a little rusty...I either owe them money, or they like the site!
