5 agreements anyone?
Be Impeccable With Your Word.
Don't Take Anything Personally.
Don't Make Assumptions.
Always Do Your Best.
Be Skeptical but Learn to Listen.

But for 200,000 years of human history, practically everybody has been doing the exact opposite.
You'd think that someone named Don Miguel Ruiz would know that a scant 500 years ago during the Spanish Inquisition, at least 3 of his 5 agreements would have been punishable by death. Some would argue higher.
Okay, forget about 500 years ago. Suppose your goal now is to become the leader of the free world, or maybe to enslave the rest of the world, whatever. Which of those agreements would be the most important to you?
I'll tell you. "Always do your best." All the others are useless to those who write the history books. And need I not remind you of those who are forced to read those history books!
I'll go quietly officer.
