Here is a short list from the book Five Rings on how to live according to the WAY.

1. Do not think dishonestly
2. The way is to train
3. Have knowledge of every art
4. Know the ways of all professions
5. Know the difference between profit and loss in worldly matters
6. Develop intuition and understanding of all things
7. See that which cannot be seen
8. Attend even to the seemingly insignificant
9. Do nothing which is useless.

The author of the book is likely the most famous of all samurai swordsmen. He won sixty duels from the age of thirteen. He later became a strategist and began trying to understand the way. No matter what religion, matter of employment or sex these rules can easily apply to ones life.
