I want to start a little thread tonight where you can post some tips you have learned. more of the rules you would want to give yourself a few years ago. if someone has had too much; feed them water and bread.
or maybe some things you wish you thought about earlierwhen i look at a bird, i wonder why it doesnt just fly anywhere in thr world it wants... then i ask myself the same question
go?
 
everyday of my life I figure out more and more things I will never be able to be. ie: astronaut, professional athlete, ect. The years go by and I still have no idea what I can be that will satisfy me. Then one day i'm old and die.
 
dont think about it that way :(you are not dead yet, dont stop kicking life in the face and keep being as awesome as you can be!

 
The flip side is that the older you get the more you realize how completely retarded the vast majority of people are, even if they appear very successful. You'll end up thinking if they can do things in spite of their handicaps then you can completely boss life. Even if you're a retard yourself.
 
Think about it long and hard before deciding to move in with a significant other. It's a bigger deal than you think it is.

 
If theres an opportunity in front of you, and you have even the slightest urge to take it- give it a try.
 
do whatever you think is good.

listen only to certain people, family and close friends. dont be afraid to buy yourself twintips even though your older brother races and doesnt want you to :) as an example.

go make holidays when you want and you can afford it. dont look to far into the future, spend a little money now. i know now that life can end tomorrow or maybe today.
 
Its such a clichee but "live like you'll die tomorrow, dream as if you'll live forever".

coming from a family of criticizing pessimists I try to live after that quote in everything I do, being impulsive and open-minded have definitely made my life 4738209 times better.
 
make it clear that you have plans so your parents can't fuck up your chance of doing something

fuck my parents
 
procrastination is a very bad thing and only leads to stress, so no matter if you think what youre doing is worth more than the value of getting things done, get off your ass and just do it.
this is the advice i need to be listening to at this exact moment.
also: habits are hard to break but any bad habit can be stopped, it just takes willpower.
 
Your a gloomy person, so your not gonna live your life to the fullest just because you'll die someday. That's the impression I got.
 
Do what you want to do. If that involves cocaine thats your problem not mine, if you don't see it as a problem I'm not going to mess with your shit. Whatever makes you happy.
Never date in your circle of friends, it probably won't work out and you will lose friends in the process. Yep, have a crush on your best friend? Get over it.
 
don't think about the consequences of things always, be spontaneous. life is to short to worry about bull shit.

surround yourself with the best friends you have.

 
Don't overlook those who are humble and quiet because ultimately they end up being the most unique and interesting individuals ( at least from my own observations)
 
A kind word takes no effort, but can make someone's day !
Don't hesitate to help people
Respect other's work
learn from criticism
always look on the brightside
always look at things in prespective and don't judge others....
don't procrastinate, do things NOW!
Ask for help, even if you don't really need it, it'll speed up your work and make other people feel valuable .
get drunk, but don't get too drunk
don't drink and drive (same for drugs)
know when to shut up
learn how to smile all day every day !
think before you do something (also, think before you say something)
don't hold back real feelings, if you love a girl, tell her straight !
be ready to stand up for your ideas, but if you're wrong and you know it, be a man and admit it!(^^in an argument nothing disarms/confuses your "opponent" as much as admitting you were wrong...)
For everything you do, be prepared for the consequences !
etc...(im gonna sleep now, might post more if i think of em)
 
i'm sorry you feel that way. i believe the best relationships are when you can and do finally date someone you are very good friends with. i'm not saying to just date any close friend you think is hot, but seriously, when you are good friends first, it can lead to the best relationship, but to each his own!
I'll add to this list: Be loving and sincere with everyone all the time, i truly believe compassion and cooperation can save the world. War is fucked and totally unnecessary, and killing any living thing unless you absolutely need to is also fucked. I love Native American ideas about nature and family, community, etc. We need more cooperation and less competition in this world of ours.
 
Most of the time it doesn't, I am going by averages from what I have seen. Eventually it ends and you no longer have a best friend, you try to remain friends but it's just weird and it doesn't work out and it might also affect the friends around you, say they like your other friend more they might stop hanging out with you as much. I know it sounds silly and it is but it happens. Especially if it's a rough break up.
 
What i'm saying is as a person it is very hard to feel completely satisfied and completely accomplished. We will always want more than we have or something different altogether. We will always have regrets, we will always wonder where a different path may have lead, we will always look back and and see gaps that could have been patched. This is just human nature.
In ten years you will look back on what you are doing now and wish you had done it differently or done something different all together. For this reason what we do now doesn't really matter at all, because no matter what we do, we will be unsatisfied.
I've seen engineers who have become teachers and surgeons who wish they had taken a trade so they could go home at the end of the day stress free.
If you go to university and party hard your grades will be shit. In ten years you'll wish you would have buckled down and done your best at school.
If you go to university and go through with your nose buried to the brim every single night in a book. In ten years you'll wish you would have let loose and lived a little while you were young.
I'm just saying that we need to embrace this reality of unsatisfaction, be aware of it, move past it and beat it.
Make decisions on a whim and do whatever you feel like in the now, because in the end there is no "right path". No matter what, you will always see how you could have lived your life better looking back on it, but we cant see where our life is going to be in the future.
You could meet your wife tomorrow, maybe you never will.
I try to take as much advice as I can from people older than myself, giving me tips and telling me what they would do if they could go back. Because they have already been through what you are going through and they know what they are talking about. (well some do)
There's no right way, just do what you feel is right, even though in the end it will never have been the "best choice".
