Too many to list. But #5 is "Don't poke the snake with a stick." I read a blog post many years ago which recounted paramedic statistics about snakebites. The vast majority were on the hands and arms. But so many victims insisted that they were simply walking along, minding their own business, when a snake lunged at them. If true, there should have been far more snakebites on the legs. They lied. They saw a snake, decided it would be fun to poke at it with a stick, and misjudged the snake's range. So don't poke the snake with a stick. More broadly: practice conflict avoidance. When you meet a dangerous person, avoiding rather than defeating should be your first option. There's no need to poke that person with a stick, so to speak.
I remember, as a teenager, being enchanted by the Extreme song "More Than Words" until I realized that it was about a man trying to convince a woman to have sex with him in order to prove that she really loved him. On the other hand, there's nothing unintentional about the creepiness of this song.
I remember that George Washington once refused to receive a letter from the British General William Howe because it addressed him as "Esquire" rather than "General."
Huh. This seems counterintuitive--at least from my individual perspective. I couldn't keep up the necessary airflow when doing intense cardiovascular exercise, such as running or sparring, if I limited myself to nasal breathing.

Well, it's important to a backup nightstand knife in case your regular nightstand knife runs out of ammunition.
