The 47 Peanut Butter Principles for Success in Life
Eric attributes the reason for his various successes in life to the Judeo-Christian life principles his parents taught him when he was growing up. He has condensed these life lessons into a series of 47 principles that are as edible as a peanut butter sandwich.
The Peanut Butter Principles are divided into five categories: the Super Self, Making Wishes Come True, the School of Life, Relationships, and Making Choices.
Throughout the interview, he gave examples from each section.
A principle in Super Self is "be yourself because everyone else is taken." In this principle, Eric warns about the danger of emulating celebrities and other famous people because the most important thing is to resonate only those good qualities that resonate with our own nature.
A principle in Making Wishes Come True is "the difference between a goal and a dream is a deadline." In this principle, Eric illustrates that in order to achieve anything, a person has to set a goal, make a plan, and establish milestones to measure progress toward the goal.
A principle in the School of Life is "if you're not early, you're late." In this principle, Eric emphasizes that showing up on time shows respect for the other person's time. Someone who is punctual will often do better in life and will be treated better by other people. This principle hints at the golden rule that you should treat people the way that you want to be treated.
A principle in Relationships is "learn to follow to learn, to lead, to serve." In this principle, Eric discusses the steps by which someone develops leadership qualities. Before one can learn how to lead, one has to follow and learn by example. Later, when one became a leader, one's principle duty is to serve others.
A principle in Making Good Choices is "a lesson not learned has to be repeated." In this principle, Eric shares something his father, a teacher, taught him. The reason for repeat marriages or recidivism is because people do not reflect on the lessons in their previous experience. When a lesson is not learned, people are not equipped to move to a higher level of achievement because they keep doing the same erroneous things over and over again.
In summary, the Peanut Butter Principles was written to help mothers and fathers with raising their child. The book has even been embraced by Charter schools and organizations that mentor kids; places where character education, which was once part of the public school system, is still a popular idea.
