What has life taught you?

Recommended Posts

Posted

Travel, it's the best education you can get.

Stand your ground.

Help out people when you are in countries that has real poverty.

Avoid arguing with the devoutly religious.

If you have a woman you are deeply in love with do everything to keep her.

Don't worry about things, the real worries you will get in life spring up on you randomly out of the blue.

Take a chance in trying to start a business you will enjoy, if you fail so be it, but there is nothing worse than not knowing what the outcome could have been.

Have a good social life, eat well. Don't obsess with being stick thin, look after your good friends, love your family, stay as close to your siblings as possible. Do these and happiness comes easily.

 

Oh, Matt! I just knew that behind that rough, tough, go-getting businessman exterior there lurked a secret heartache. As the Human League so poignantly put it: "End concealing! Try revealing! Open your heart!" You know that any revelations will be treated with the utmost sensitivity and compassion on FoxesTalk, Matt!  :ph34r:

 

No, seriously, I have my own problems to deal with. A pretty good range of advice there, Matt.

So your date didn't show!

 

She did, she just didn't take any notice of me for 3 hours and was more interested in texting people and being on her phone all the time

Perhaps you should be more interesting.

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.

I'd actually disagree with this and say , "never underestimate anyone , ever!"

Don't look to FoxesTalk for wisdom or advice.

 

 

lol This. I knew this thread would eventually go in the following direction:

 

 

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 . . . . . .

 

 

it was the tomato ketchup that most concerned me !

 

 

Sure it wasn't the marmite? :whistle:

I disagree, I consider everyone I meet to be intelligent until they prove me otherwise. 

 

That is not to say don't give clear and concise instructions and don't simplify things for clarity, but if I meet someone for the first time I'm not going to treat them like an idiot just in case they are one.

lol I'm not sure about the advice but the contrary prose is funny

When a woman asks you a question about herself always avoid answering it. whatever you say you'll be in the wrong.

That is was probably a good thing I never got onto any of the tv shows I applied for as a kid.

Posted

Sadly not nearly as much as it probably should have

Don't blithely assume you know how other people are feeling. If in doubt, ask them... sensitively.

Any crime in particular? How much?

Rentboy I'd imagine.
