What are the Five Tenets of TaeKwonDo?

They are,

Courtesy 

Integrity

Perseverance

Indomitable Spirit

Self-Control 

Some of the greatest ancient warriors based their lives on these 5 principles. You as a filmmaker, or marketer can and should do the same. In the book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" the author writes that you should base your life off of principles. These are the principle that you should use.

Courtesy - The showing of politeness in one's attitude and behavior towards others.

You should be kind and polite to the people you work for, or the people who work for you.

Integrity - Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code

Don't do something that you don't believe in. Don't make a marketing plan for a company who's morals you strongly disagree with. Filmmakers, don't make movies, or videos for things you don't believe in.

Perseverance - Steady persistence in adhering to a course of action, a belief, or purpose

Don't give up! If something isn't working keep working on it. If it still doesn't happen, find a different way to meet your goal.

Indomitable Spirit - Cannot be subdued or overcome, will never give up and keeps trying.

Again, never give up! Always keep trying to get where you want to be, then keep going.

Self-Control - The ability to control one's emotions, behavior, and desires

Keep your emotions in check when somethings goes wrong. Don't get mad, yell, scream, and throw things. That will never accomplish anything, other than destroying things.
