Hmm....I woke up at 8:15 - so much for success for me.

And....where on that list is using the bathroom? So successful people go through that list of 5 and end up with a mess in their pants?

No sex?

That's quite a list of stuff to get through before 8 AM -

signed,

a clearly unsuccessful person (but my pants are not messed!)!



OK - fess up, people - what else is missing from that list? How many of you just must call your morning a fail based on this?

1. Only two of those things are actually things.

3. Well, what type of success are they talking about?

It would be nice to be able to sleep early enough to merit waking up at 5 AM. Sh-t, sometimes I'm awake till that time.

I work out at nights, since that is the only time I found to do it on.

Yeah, my morning is a failure based on that.

I wake up at 7 nowadays. I take as long a shower as I could. It is my moment of Zen.

4. I guess success so we can look all nice and shiny when we hold our smartphone

like the person in the pic for the article!

That is so, so not like me!

5. You mean Margaret Thatcher?

Uhhhh, I have no... NO... motivation towards looking like her.

Hell, I don't think the writer even believes what they are writing on this one.

9. Successful at WHAT? Stressing? Glorifying "busy"?

I walk my dogs at 6AM, feed them and go back to bed.

The thrust of the list is that we should all want to be more like "CEOs and government officials" -- Shag that nonsense!

The five habits of spiritually fulfilled people:

1. Do no harm
2. Live in the moment
3. Be the change you wish to see in the world
4. Keep the TV turned off.
5. Find peace, beauty and satisfaction in the people, plants, animals and experiences that come to you.

10. I guess I lose

Breakfast has never been part of my schedule, I don't map out my day as I pay my secretary to do that, I work out before dinner, and I'd much rather "do" than "visualize."

6. Attend a local breakfast meeting of the malefactors of great wealth.
