Post useful advice that you have learnt from life
1. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
2. Cover your ass(not literally of course), never allow someone to see your flaws
3. Never allow people with flaws to be at the same level as you, as they may want to surpass you and stomp you
Share your zen knowledge
Keep your vices to a minimum.
Appreciate aspects of your life in present because they could become worse in the future.
Don't follow politics unless you want to be a politician.
Realize early what you want out of life and fight like hell to get there.
1. Don't rely on others.
2. Follow my life goals even if its outside the norm.
Never trust anything you read on Jow Forums
appreciate friends while you have them, dont take friends for granted
challenge yourself to complete your goals
Always have 3 month's worth of pay (presuming these cover your monthly bills) saved in case of a rainy day.
Visit your parents and grandparents, it's shit when you visit them and see how frail they became since you last saw them.
Look after your health, your teeth and your fitness, those 3 things will dictate whether you age like a fine wine or milk.
Wait should I trust this?
Really nice advice. Specially the second one, I am living abroad since 2015, and a few months ago I went back to my country to visit my mother and family. Shit was though, she looked way older than before even though it was just 3 years, I've felt really bad at the moment I had to depart again. The thought of her passing away while I am so far it's just too much.

>1. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
How do you do that?
get another basket? what a stupid question
How do you do it practically? Anyone can use a clever, zen sounding saying while doing the exact opposite.

that's some way to be super unhappy, user
Never sleep with a girl who owns a strapon.
Diet and socializing is supremely important to well-being.
The hormones that serve as brain messengers are produced in the stomach. You do not exist in a vacuum, you have people around you that grow and mold you into who you are, so choose them wisely.
I was suffering from depression and inflammation for 10 years, did keto and boom, I'm back to normal. It's just surreal.
Die young and save yourself.

Don’t listen to this guy. Your morals are transient, not malleable. Transcendent not socially constructed. If your morals change on a dime it’s because you don’t actually possess them, you have only a notion.
Find who you want to be, morally and mentally, and don’t let go. You’re racing against time to catch up to the version of yourself and victory is always right around the corner. Don’t let people tell you your vision or dreams aren’t worth pursuing or aren’t realistic or don’t have meaning, because they DO have OBJECTIVE VALUE
Never let your rape victim see your face
You're missing the point. "One man's Freedom Fighter is another Man's Terrorist" and all.
Outside perspective is irrelevant.
don't date cutters
Eh, whatever helps you sleep at night. For the Germans, Hitler was a hero. Now he’s seen as a villain. Had they won, he’d have been seen as a great man. Moses killed countless men and even kids, yet he’s seen as some great prophet and religious hero and freedom fighter.
My point is, fight for what you believe, otherwise life is without any meaning, but unless you “win”, don’t expect to be treated with respect. The ones at the top decide History’s monsters and heroes.
Never EVER admit to wrong doing. Unless the result is assured personal gain. And even then double check and be absolutely sure.
Lawyer up asap.
What if I don’t enjoy socializing? Will socializing be good for me if all I get from it was just wanting to go back home as soon as I can?
Even though I’m 25, I can’t socialize. I’m still too shy and self conscious.
Everyone who enters your life is either a blessing or a lesson.
Never let people stand behind you, they will just stab you in the back
The way to victory and success is much more enjoyable than victory itself
Always play defensive when in conflicts
It's the only thing you should trust.
>never allow someone to see your flaws
terrible advice. good thing it’s impossible to carry out.
you cannot teach someone how to think
Porn is a cancer that is destroying your life
Going to bed early and waking up early is a good way to not waste your day.
There's never a good reason to go to bed past 2 am.
Better to ask for forgiveness than for permission
Women are nice but they're not everything

>If you want to get ahead professionally, good relationships with colleagues is key. Don't be an asshole, show up on time, and do good work. People will vouch for you in the future when you really need it.

>If your grandparents are still alive, talk to them as much as you can. Talk to old people in general. They are wiser than you and you will learn shit about life.
>If you have little kids, encourage them to learn a musical instrument. Most smart people I know played/play music of some type.

>Brush your teeth twice a day and wash your face before you go to sleep.
>Don't compare yourself to other people
>Cherish the relationship that you have, especially if she likes you
Don't drink too much, even if it's your birthday, and always control yourself, because you'll probably mess something up.
(talking from experience bois)
I literally never indicated that how history sees you is important. It is the farthest thing from important. How you see yourself, when examining your actions and thoughts honestly, is the only thing to be given actual credence. I couldn’t give a fuck how some faggot professor views me in some hellish dystopia ~70 years from now.
>Comparing Hitler to Moses
Seriously this is the worst comparison I've ever seen. And Hitler was objectively a villain in his time.
These.
Be very cautious and don't allow yourself to concentrate all your energy into a single thing. Don't let a single fire burn down your life.
That said, spread yourself out, and always take risks.
Don't be selfish, but make your goals and dreams your #1. Don't put anyone ahead of them.
If you're not struggling towards something, you're wasting time. Always be pushing towards your goals.
And finally, do not let things outside your locus of control (POLITICS!) effect your happiness, or be your primary focus in life.
Figure out what career you want to pursue before you go to college/trade school. Not what major. Your fucking career. Pick the JOB to pursue and pursue it.
Attraction is like a campfire in the rain. Keep it going or it will fade quickly.
