                                    APPEARANCE

Everything is judged by it is appearances. What is unseen is counted for almost nothing at all. Appearances are a barometer of almost all our judgements, our eyes, cloths, gestures, words, and actions. You must never be misled into believing otherwise.

Understand that which is not seen is as though it does not exist, so do not show all your cards at once. But one should strive for a reputation for outstanding quality either in generosity, honesty or cunning. This quality sets you apart and gets other people to talk about you. good or bad you reputation will precede you.

                                                The rules of The Game

 Rule # 1; “This above all else to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day.”  Polonaises a character in the play Hamlet say’s this. The play was written by William shakes pear in 1603. To make it a little clearer, when an individual disregard what is commonly observed and noted to be factual and continues to proceed in a general direction because he has convinced himself of the outcome. It is possible he has convinced himself of a lie. It is one thing to use the scientific method to conclude but to blindly tread into the unknown is destructive. Simple example: your car is overheating; you pull over to the side of the road. You have been told never to take the top of the radiator while it hot, but you see steam bellowing out the side of the cap after you open the hood. You think, hmm m, if I can take the top off it will cool down faster and I can make it to a gas station down the road. So, you look around in the trunk and find some beach towels. It is large and thick so you think you can loosen the cap to relieve some pressure and make it to a gas station down the road. You spread it across the front of the car and the radiator and push down on the cap and as soon as that cap turns ever so slight, all the fluid erupts, and you find yourself burned bad. You have convinced yourself that this wouldn’t happen but in reality, in your mind you knew it would, but you lied to yourself that it wouldn’t happen to you. This is a rule you can’t afford to ignore. Never, ever lie to yourself. It is what it is and that is all it is.
