The golden rules - to be a safe pilot

Hi all,

Airbus resp. FSF published 'Operations Golden Rules' some years ago.
Operations Golden Rules address aspects that are considered frequent causal factors in incidents and accidents.

They are:
1 - Automated aircraft can be flown like any other aircraft
2 - Fly, Navigate, Communicate and Manage – in that order
3 - One head up at all times
4 - Cross check the accuracy of the FMS with raw data
5 - Know your guidance at all times
6 - When things don’t go as expected, Take over
7 - Use the correct level of automation for the task
8 - Practice task sharing and back-up each other

It all makes sense. What other tips you have to be a safe pilot (irrelevant of the type of a/C you fly)? I would like to extend this list. I know there was once such a thread on here, but I couldn't find it...
More ideas or the link to the relevant posting would be much appreciated.
