What has life taught you?

Everything that i know good and bad.

Don't stick your little finger in a crimping tool and cut the end of it off.

Do not attempt the dirty dancing lift with your mates when pissed up or you will smash ya face off his knee.

Make sure your wheels are secure on your bike else they will fall off.

Don't drink on an empty stomach.

Do not urinate down your girlfriend at the time stairs.

 

Other than that not a lot.

Society provides the illusion of a solid framework which doesn't actually exist. There are no rules except those which you set for yourself.

Almost everyone (including you) is too consumed by their own pursuit of gratification to really care about anyone else. This should be liberating. Nobody is watching. Do what you want.

The exception to the above is your immediate family. They are the only people you can rely on to be there for you in your darkest hour. Do not, under any circumstances, treat this relationship lightly, and be sure to hold up your end of the bargain.

Love is fleeting. Enjoy it while it lasts. But remember that perfect relationships don't exist. In the long term it will be the cold practicalities of life which determine whether your relationship succeeds or fails. Keep this is mind when looking for a wife, but then dive in head first anyway. It's fun, and there's no time for fannying around.

Apply a fundamental dignity to all aspects of your life. Examples include: maintain your health, maintain your appearance, be able to provide, don't do things you don't want to do just to fit in, keep your house clean, don't mess with people's feelings, don't watch crap tv.

Money will not buy happiness, but it will buy options. Learn everything you can about managing your finances. Run the numbers on how much you need to put away to retire comfortably at a reasonable age. When you've finished shutting yourself, put a plan in place and stick to it. Put the pursuit of financial independence ahead of short time consumerist pleasures. Fvck the Jones'. They will retire to poverty. Make the act of delaying gratification a form of gratification. And if that works, realise you can convince yourself of pretty much anything, and then use that to your advantage.

What does that bit mean?

There's fookin millions of rules in my world and they seem to be multiplying like bacteria on a dog turd  

Breaking them seems to be all too easy as well for me.

Simply, make the most of it, live every day as if it is your last. Don't want to sound morbid, but we really don't know when our numbers up. I have had three mates die ridiculously young, when that happens you really don't take life for granted.

Regrets, I've had a few .But then again, too few to mention ,I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this, I did it my way .

If you have your health, a roof over your head tonight, and you know you will have a meal, you're doing better than an awful lot of people in the world.

 

And that sadly, many of us don't know how lucky we are until that luck runs out.

 

Given the above, laugh whenever you can. It always makes you feel better

Listen to well meaning advice, then make up your own mind.

 

Be strong, and make positive decisions.

 

Share problems with people you can trust.

 

Never be afraid to stand up for what you truly believe in.

Treat others how you want to be treated would be the main one.

From a personal experience id say

A sandwich bag and an elastic band is not a suitable form of contraception

Did it make your sandwiches taste funny when you put them back in?

You know I thought that mayonnaise tasted a bit off . . . . . .

- "If in doubt, do it" is a motto that works well for me. But that's just because I think things through a lot and tend to procrastinate, so it encourages me to jump in and enjoy the excitement. Wouldn't work so well if you were naturally reckless and impulsive...

 

- Talk to older relations while you still can. It's amazing how many middle-aged people comment on how they wish they'd talked properly to their grandparents or whoever while they still could. Older people have interesting stories - and like to tell them.

 

- Enjoy life to the max while you're still young and commitment-free; it's a lot harder once you have commitments

 

- True friends are a very precious resource and it's worth putting yourself out to keep them. It's harder to find good new friends when you're older.

 

- Unless you're very careful, a domesticated, family life can damage your relationship as a couple. Women's priorities can change massively and I'm not talking about the positive joys of focusing on children, who should indeed be top priority. I think that I'm currently rated a little higher than the filing of bank statements but well below hoovering... :ph34r:

 

- If you're planning to start a family, target and sweet-talk potential babysitters ASAP...great joy that children are, you need to keep some life as a twosome (speaking from bitter experience!)

Consider anyone you meet to be an idiot until they prove otherwise.

 

Not saying you should talk down to people, just don't be surprised when they don't understand simple statements and be prepared to simplify.

 

Which is also a way of saying, "never judge a book by it's cover". Unless we're actually talking about books cos many bad books I've read have had bad covers - though many bad books have had good covers too and vice versa. In which case my statement stands. Never judge a book by it's cover, EVEN IF it's a book.
