    Nah. I think the originals are pretty complete. Why fix it when it ain't broken? Improving on perfection isn't an option.

    Your examples aren't a checklist.
    They're desires and cravings, anyway.....

    1. Pay attention
    2. Be non-judgmental
    3. Be polite
    4. Focus on what works

    How'd I do??

    @skullchin:
    Right Awareness
    Right View
    Right Speech
    The entire Eightfold Path AND 5 Precepts.

    Pretty good!

    I personally would not tamper with one of the most basic, fundamnetal and amazing teachings of an enlighhtened founder of a religion, so I would stick with what there exists today.

    okay in a not serious note:

    1. Right outfit, not too tight, not too loose, and pants fit nicely in the seat.
    2. Right friends, not so attractive they make you look bad, not looking so bad you stand out overly
    3. Right meals, like taco bell is okay but chipotle is so much better
    4. Right appliances, for some folks I know. energy efficient and shiny and one you can talk about the features of for at least 30 minutes at a failing party
    5. Rigth pet, not too crazy of a dog and the cat should be the same color as the couch to hide shedding.

    Okay that is the end of my creativity tonight. i honestly wouldn't change the 8 but got a funny moment
