The Viking Code and your career.

The Viking Code and your career.

We must agree with Einstein’s words, “Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.” 

Deep and philosophical as his words are, an enquiring mind immediately starts to think of exceptions: things that count and which also can be counted. 10 major exceptions are The 10 Commandments of the Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, that tell us how to lead a contented and fulfilled life. 

Another list of 10 is called The Viking Code which certainly counted, if in days gone by, you wanted to become a true Viking. However, the Viking Code has implications far beyond the Viking Age. 

I think it also tells us how to have a successful career, but what do you think? Here’s a modern translation. 

1 Look for opportunities. 
2 Help others succeed. 
3 Be courageous. 
4 Give advice. 
5 Think constructively. 
6 Take on responsibility. 
7 Plan for the future. 
8 Seek education and research. 
9 Oppose envy and indolence. 
10 Start now.
