Great article. What was even MORE interesting though, was the link there to the five mistakes of the Galactic Empire in Star Wars. It reads like the Obama administration. Seriously.

In contrast, a leader who has lived as a world traveler, not as a traveler between worlds, follows these rules:
1. Never Start Learning - You already know everything you feel, and that’s what matters in life.
2. Have Advisors With Your Worldview - Why listen to others? After all, you won!
3. Be Part Of The Home Team - Send others out there to take the risk, and you can take the credit if they succeed (e.g., kill Osama) or throw them under the bus if things don’t work out.
4. Play Tiddly Winks, Not Chess - It’s more your speed intellectually.
5. Blow up the Country - You never liked it anyways, and if you get lucky it might be replaced with something you do like.

8) If part of an away team, never wear a red shirt (they always die).

“6. If she is attractive, get her in your bed.”
7. If she is attractive and green, see if she has a sister. It will make for a great story over a bottle of Romulan ale.

I once read that the Captain’s character was based (loosely of course) on Captain Hornblower.

I've been streaming various episodes from the original Star Trek onto my Kindle Fire tablet and I'm pleasantly amazed at the quality of the writing, acting, and general production aspects. This show made young people dream. It also makes ya want to weep, to compare the crap on TV today with the great shows of the past.
(BTW, the entire three seasons of the original Star Trek are available for free download for tablet owners with Amazon Prime membership).

10. Find some technicality, however obscure, to confiscate Harcourt Fenton Mudd's cargo and keep them in your quarters for security.

Personally, I get my motivational inspiration from Sir Topham Hatt, but James T. Kirk is a close second!

11. If some drunk Scot in the back tells you “I dinna think they will take any more, Captain! “ - ignore him and floor it. Those alien babes won’t wait forever.
