Advice to young folk

[kanonfodr]

Live fast, break the rules, and do the dangerous things - but be smart about all of them.

Everyone dies with things left undone - keep that number as low as possible.

At least once, love a man/woman twice your age - you will be surprised what you will learn.

People suck - keep your expectations as low as possible and you will constantly be impressed

Peace,
Greg

Stop looking for the meaning of life in this thread.

 

[Dean N]

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Try to be a little kinder.

If you think you can, you're right. If you think you can't, you're right.

Make a real effort to figure out what you do want. Likewise, figure out what you don't want.

Your time is precious; spend it with people that you consider to be admirable or successful.

Don't put the object of your affection on a pedestal. You are bound to be disappointed and, more important, it's not fair to the other person to be expected to live up to your fantasy.

What I know about women:

1. When you go out with your wife/girlfriend/significant other and she points something out and says "isn't that nice?" Go back the next day and buy that item. Give it to her at her birthday or christmas. You will score major points for "being so thoughtful and remembering." Also, keep a few "emergency" gifts around for unexpected events.

2. Women's clothing sizes are different at different stores. Don't buy her clothes. ever.

3. Don't buy her flowers when you would be expected to (birthdays, anniversaries, etc); do it on a random Wednesday. Those $20 flowers will be worth guaranteed action.

4. Your anniversary? Her birthday? Put an annual recurring item in your phone's calendar a week before to make sure you bought a gift, and the night before to remind yourself, and the day of so you really don't forget. Seriously. DON'T forget.

Oh... And the expense of the bills you owe is directly proportional to your age. The older you get, the more expensive they become.

The same goes for mistakes! The older you get, the more expensive they become.

It's never as good as it seems.
People and experiences are generally more fulfilling than things.

An extra $6,000 spent on your bass isn't going to upgrade your playing, but that $6,000 spent on your roof will make a world of difference.
