I saw this in a marketing booklet for a design conference in Marfa, Texas and I really liked it. Solid advice (except for maybe #9). 
Agreed. I’m losing #9…
Snooze!
Good advice!
It’s all true little lady
Thank you, Cowboy!
Your welcome Mam…..(swagger as walking away into the sunset)
Loved the list including no 9, best time of the day…
Actually, I agree, once I get out of bed, morning is the best time of the day.
What a great set of commandments! I especially love 7, 8, 9 (though I have trouble following the latter, as do most of the other commenters, it seems).
I thought they were fun.
I was rolling along just fine through #9, even through the first half of #10, but ride for the brand is lost on this midwestern hombre. My Anna loves the horsies.
Yeah, I wasn’t quite clear either but figured it meant if you commit to something, stick it out!
Nice work, pardner.
#5 & #7 are my favorite
Losing on the 9 too. My blog is to blame……there, I just lost 5 as well
PONIES !! Love the photo.
