I came across this content on somebody else's blog and found it damn interesting and usefull. Anyways, I liked it, and I’m posting it here. these lines were written over there too
"Follow this, and you will stay cool all your life, and kick life’s ass. It’s is called as the Dokkodo."
i found this line to be the most catching one :P:P:P

Live life to your fullest!
agreed with syra.
some items on this list are states of being, e.g. "don't be jealous".
how about "always be happy"? now that takes care of everything :P or does it?
so i ask. is this person telling us how to live? or is he telling us what to live for?
this person basically is telling us how to stay happu :P
"Do not pursue the taste of good food...."
