John Cage: 10 Rules For Students And Teachers
10 RULES FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
FROM JOHN CAGE
Rule 1:
Find a place you trust, and then, try trusting it for awhile.
Rule 2: (General Duties as a Student)
Pull everything out of your teacher.
Pull everything out of your fellow students.
Rule 3: (General Duties as a Teacher)
Pull everything out of your students.
Rule 4:
Consider everything an experiment.
Rule 5:
Be Self Disciplined. This means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them.
To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.
Rule 6:
Follow the leader. Nothing is a mistake. There is no win and no fail. There is only make.
Rule 7:
The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something.
It is the people who do all the work all the time who eventually catch onto things.
You can fool the fans—but not the players.
Rule 8:
Do not try to create and analyze at the same time.
They are different processes.
Rule 9:
Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself.
It is lighter than you think.
Rule 10:
We are breaking all the rules, even our own rules, and how do we do that?
By leaving plenty of room for “x” qualities.
Helpful Hints:
• Always Be Around.
• Come or go to everything.
• Always go to classes.
• Read everything you can get your hands on.
• Look at movies carefully and often.
• SAVE EVERYTHING. It may come in handy later.

5. Being able to do the sit and raise test
This test is well-supported by research as a predictor of longevity.
A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that the ability to sit and rise from the floor is a predictor of all-cause mortality

6. Complete 25 unbroken pushups
This is a test of upper body strength and endurance.
Just managing 10-15 pushups puts you above average for 40+ adults.
Completing 25 unbroken sets you apart from most people over 40, showing muscular endurance and overall fitness.

I should add that the farmers carry can be subjective.
If you’re overweight or obese then doing your bodyweight for 2 minutes might not look realistic to many.

Pretty much many of these require us to be at a healthy weight and metabolically healthy state.
