Read on and find out for yourself.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Continue to redefine yourself. According to Sir Mick Jagger, "the past is a great place...but I don't want to be its prisoner." Indeed the Stones have shown incredible staying power in the charts due to their ability to reinvent their timeless sound.
2. Never take yourself (or your accomplishments) too seriously. Jagger tries to keep success at arm's length stating, "It's a good thing not to be too involved with what you have done."
3. Know your limitations. The Stones front man has said that, "It's alright letting yourself go as long as you can get yourself back." Indeed, Jagger and the Stones have bounced back from adversity many times during their 40-year career.
4. Keep things simple. Guitarist Keith Richards has long been suspicious of technology claiming, "technology is the least important thing," when making a rock and roll recording.
5. Take chances and be familiar with the people you work with. Richards believes that great music only comes through "people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it."
6. Express yourself and never back down. The man once voted "Most Likely to Die," has said that, "rock and roll (is) an unassailable outlet for...rebellion." In addition, Richards stated that (rock music) "used to be one channel you could take without ever having to kiss ass."
