King's Code of Ethics

I have already received a little response to my previous post and several folks have asked me to clarify what my own personal code of ethics is. Okay, here goes. This may not be all-encompassing, but it's a shot:

1) Never hold a prejudice against another based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin or sexual orientation. Always hold a prejudice against the selfish, lazy, closed-minded and blatantly stupid.

2) There is no such thing as a failure who keeps trying. Success deserves reward. Failure deserves encouragement.

3) Wear your heart on your sleeve. Never be protected. Hurt equals growth. Fear stunts it. The protected are never truly happy.

4) If you have something negative to say, so long as it doesn't seriously hurt or offend another, say it. Maybe we're itching for a fight and we'll feel better afterwards.

5) So long as you do not break the law nor hurt another, do anything and everything that comes to mind. If you want to stand on your head in a crowded bar, then by all means, do so. If you want to eat a shoe for dinner, cook it up!

6) You are superior to no one. No one is superior to you.

7) When in a crowded room, remember that everybody in that room can do something you only wish you could do.

8) Always reinforce positive emotions. If you love somebody, tell them. Hug them. Kiss them. Never reinforce negative emotions ... they will soon subside. Relish the success, the skills, the abilities of others.

9) Sacrifice for your fellow man. Rejoice in their beauty. Be grateful for all gifts, big and small.

10) Drink at least one caffeinated beverage a day.

11) Never forget that love and loyalty go hand in hand.

12) No matter what you do, no matter the limitations life has put on you, always strive for excellence.
