Stay alert and look out for suspicious characters! And don't cross the road until the little man shows green.

-If it's too good to be true, it most likely is and is probably a scam so make sure to be very careful when something like that happens.

-When choosing a major make sure that you know a little about it, you will enjoy the class, and that it is not too much work for you. My cousin had to stay in college (Uni for you non americans) for an extra two years because he kept changing his major.

-If you are in a highly sought after major (like I am) make sure to always carry around business cards and practice very good hygiene. You never know who you could meet out and about and one of my upper classmen in my major lost out of a really good job because the guy who wanted to hire him didn't like how he didn't have any business cards and he didn't look that good in normal clothes. He cleaned up good but he was kind of a slob when he wasn't.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, but only 17 to smile. So keep frowning, it's better exercise!

Don't build your own computer. Because it might not boot up at all, and you won't know what of that 700 euro bulk of equipment you just bought is actually causing the problem, and there's pretty much fuck all you can do about it.

You know, not like anything like that happened to me yesterday or anything.

OT: Never have a gangbang with a person that you will ever meet again. The next meeting might be fairly awkward, if not uncomfortable.

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.

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

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.

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.

The Cake Is a Lie.

Sorry.

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