Life tips

[Dr Snakeman]

Dont do things to other people you dont want done to yourself. I am not even a devout Christian and I think that phrase should be taken to heart.

Actually, the verse says to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you (empahsis mine)." Not to "not do bad things", which is fairly simple. The Bible commands one to do good to others, to care for them as you would yourself. It's not just to refrain from harming anyone, but to help them whenever you can. It's far more challenging, and, I think, a lot more noble.

So, yeah, that's one really awesome life lesson that I think we all wish more people took to heart.

Also, something I've learned in recent years: try not to take anything too seriously, especially not yourself. Only matters of the utmost importance require you to buckle down and be a hardass. Day to day life, however, is best served with a jovial attitude.

People regret the things they didn't do in life far more often than the things they did.

Finally: Stay in shape, try to project an air of confidence, and read a damn book once in a while.

...

That's all I've got for now. I'm sure I'll think of more.

Read often. Fiction, nonfiction, whatever, just read. Your spelling and vocabulary will improve greatly, and you'll have read lots of great books.

Keep a little notebook next to your bed, or with you at all times. Great ideas sometimes strike at 12 am.

Obla Di Obla Da Life goes on brah


Also, if your list of heroes contains Courtney Love and Yoko Ono you might want to re-examine things a bit.

Don't let your life lose its momentum. If you're not trying hard, you're losing years.

Always keep your hopes and expectations seperate.

Well, I'll give you guys the second best advice I've ever gotten from a videogame:

The best advice I've gotten came from a humble random peasant in Overlord in Spree while it was under siege by hobbits. It is: "Never trust anything that's head-level with your groin."

Never miss an oportuny to make an acquaintance. You never know if you'll need a favor from that person in the future.

Confesing something to your girlfriend that isn't morally wrong but you know is going to make her mad it's not being sincere, it's being stupid.

When you have a kid and he's old enough, make him pay half the price of the stuff he want's you tu buy for him, that way he'll learn the cost of things.

There used to be two little books just about life tips, most of them were pretty meh but some of the were good. I can't think of any xD

Tips for guys at the bar.

8. Stay the hell away from trendy bars at all costs, find that middle ground between dive bar and laid back.

What's the problem with trendy bars? This is the only one I didn't get.

Confidence is attractive

DON'T PANIC

When lying, borrow bits and pieces from the truth. I.E. When making up a person, describe someone you know, but the person you're lying to doesn't.

Art is subjective. Hating a book, game, movie, etc. is illogical unless it offends your morals somehow.

When in college, make friends with the awkward rich guy. Your kindness will be rewarded.

Long distance relationships are tougher than they look. Know what you're getting into.

No matter what state your life is in at the moment, keep a formal outfit handy.

That's all I got.

 

[Ohhi]

Don't know if it applies to anyone here but for me my lifetip is don't trust anyone, more than likely they will stab you in the back the moment you turn around.

Also care only for yourself don't try to help someone with their problems in the end they will just use you to get what they want and then leave you with nothing.

Long distance relationships are tougher than they look. Know what you're getting into.

I can attest to this, they are very difficult and tend to not end well

 

[Kadoodle]

The Cake Is a Lie.

Sorry.

No matter how big the stress is in the present, in the future, it is over.

When your waiter comes asking if you want drinks/food tip them then, it makes the service a HELLova lot better.

Don't use Visine. It can permanently damage your eyes.

Eyes damaged by Visine?

OT: Always employ critical thinking when watching an advertisement

(1) Don't ever, ever, be honest in a job interview. They don't want you to be honest, they want you to be able to change your answer to what they tell you to change it to. Wal-mart used to make its potential employees take a 75-question strongly agree-strongly disagree test with questions such as: "It is OK to steal a small sum of goods from the company in order to feed my starving children." Guess what the right answer is? The real wisdom is to get your ass out of the blue-collar world as quickly as you can.

ALL THE MOVIES I'M THINKING OF, OH GOD! THE HOORRROOORRR!!
I'm thinking of a movie to where a chick is trying to get a job, her mom says "Don't fart on the leather chair. *MAKES VERY LOUD SOUND!* Or else he'll fire you. Other then that, you don't want to sound morrally bankrupt at a job interview, make it sound like that if you were to be hit by a plane, you'd only want to go to work.

My tibits, don't do drugs, kids, or you will look like THIS!... Just be glad its spoliered.
