A couple of months ago I wrote a piece called “Annyway.” It was #270. I used something that was evidently going around in a lot of places but where I read it said that it was found on the wall where Mother Theresa lived. It turned out that it was something called “The Paradoxical Commandments.”

Well, it turns out that these were written by a person named Kent M. Keith when he was a sophomore at Harvard. He wrote them for student leaders. They have gone around the world and many people have been given credit for them. And I’m giving credit to Kent Keith. He later published them in a book titled Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments, and then still later a book I bought and read called Do It Anyway—Finding personal meaning and deep happiness by living the paradoxical commandments.

Copyrights have always been important to me and I do my best to honor them. I also do my best to give belated credit and I do that here. They are a good set of commandments and well worth thinking about.
