Norway - Viking Laws

As I was on holiday in Norway, and maybe also will write a blog entry for this, I found the viking laws and I think they are very useful in todays (work-)life:

The Viking laws are:

• Be brave and aggressive

1. Be direct
2. Grab all opportunities
3. Use varying methods of attack
4. Be versatile and agile
5. Attack one target at a time
6. Don’t plan everything in detail
7. Use top quality weapons

• Be prepared

1. Keep weapons in good condition
2. Keep in shape
3. Find good battle comrades
4. Agree on important points
5. Choose one chief

• Be a good merchant

1. Find out what the market needs
2. Don’t promise what you can’t keep
3. Don’t demand overpayment
4. Arrange things so that you can return

• Keep the camp in order

1. Keep things tidy and organised
2. Arrange enjoyable activities which strengthen the group
3. Make sure everybody does useful work
4. Consult all members of the group for advice

I will place them right next to my office desk.
