    i thought about it some time back, im getting wise in my old age


    choose your battles carefully, take the higher ground and back off unless you can and want to annihilate them

    nothing is for certain, there maybe a 99.999% chance X will happen, but its normally never for certain. people that take with absolute terms, you have to take that into account

    people like people that like them. smile, treat people with respect, be nice, helpful etc. dont do anything to anybody that you cant sit in a cafe with them and explain why you did that. it will come back to you 10 times over in other ways. and you can sleep with yourself at night

    85% of people out there are unexceptional, but you still have to deal with them. And when you are looking for friends, good employees, a girlfriend, try to find them in the 15%. you learn from the people around you.

    Girls may look good but thats still only 15-20% of whats needed, besides intelligence, character, sense of humor, virtue, sexual, etc. and too many times they are inflated up in our heads based on the nice package. thats one of the reasons girls can be dangerous

    People get judged based on their actions/appearance, etc. and you lose a lot of credibility for the first few times you fuck up in something or say stupid stuff. And that is normally not an isolated event, but reveals a character flaw that may be difficult to correct

    1.Don't trust anyone that you haven't slept with or got drunk with (which rules out everyone you 'know' on the interwebs).
    2.When people ask for a quote, double it before you send it to them.
    3.Always target the chick wearing glasses.

    They taught me to be smart. Experience and time are processes that can be compared to cutting and polishing the diamonds :)

    focus on whats important. many things in life are incidental and are of little consequence. spend as little time as you can on that stuff

    ie family member getting hurt is important. drama over little stuff is energy-draining and causes loss of focus

    i learnt that being self confident is the first thing to learn and not to think ` what others think of you` but think `what you think about yourself`

    good one, here are a few more

    put more weight to a mans actions vs his words

    a man can be much richer in ways other than money

    there is a solution to everything, it just has to be figured out

    in many cases, its not the failure of the concept/idea, its the failure of the implementation

    people that are well-traveled generally have more open minds

    Experience has taught me to live life to the fullest, witch I don't always do. And to not take things for granted or they just might not be there for ever.

    and lots of research, trial and error, failures, and you end up learning stuff you dont remember learning :)
