There are no shortcuts in life.

I fought this one to the bone, i wiggled thru much consequences and fortunately, i realized my headstrong stubborn ways were wrong. Theres no easy way, no quick way, no shortcuts. U get what u put in & u earn what u get out.

Anyone else learn the hard way?

    Weight loss has taught me that no good thing comes without sacrifice, dedication, but above all, desire. If you want something bad enough, you'll do what it takes to get there. Otherwise, you succumb to failure.

    That boy is no good.

    Don't drink all of that.

    No one is going to give you the kind of life you want except you.

    Finish college when you're young. Its harder to do it when you have house, children, etc... (It IS)

    It won't last forever
    It's really not greener on the other side
    insecurity makes you miss out on alot of things
    and never, NEVER get in a car if you have to pee. There's just no telling when you can stop.

    Ego is the cause of most injuries (and not just physical).

    I literally just read Eggo, like as in Eggo waffles. It sounded both intriguing and delicious. You make a good point with ego, but I am actually disappointed it wasn't Eggo. That would make for an interesting story.

    Everything happens for a reason (I don't believe this is true. I used to try to believe it was)

    Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger (some things are just *kitten* and getting past it doesn't make you stronger, there are a whole range of different outcomes after tough times, not just strength)

    There are just some things that cannot be fixed.

    Just because they have a degree saying they know what they're doing doesn't mean they actually do.

    Some people will hate you because you're different, hating them back just leads to too many therapy bills.

    Even just plugged in, a curling iron can still burn when touched.

    Sometimes no matter how much you want to do it or think you can do it, you can't.

    When you are a giver, you will attract receivers who are just that and will never return your virtue.

    Those meant to protect us are, sadly, sometimes the one that hurt us.

    Never rush things out especially in love & marriage. I had a secret marriage with my ex & that was my one big mistake that I still regret up to this day, not to mention that I live in a country where there is no divorce & I need millions just to file an annulment whose process can take many many years or even forever. Now I need to get out of this country just to get married :sad:

    Since they **** out some words...this post has been edited to be PC....enjoy :

    Excrement does not flow downhill (Own your own company, and you find this out really quick)

    No matter how excrement-ty your day/life/work/pain/<insert what ever here> is, Someone is always worse off than you are and would do anything to be in your shoes.

    And to compliment that :

    Do not female dog or complain unless you are going to do something about it, if your not going to do anything about it then STFU.

    Admit that you are sometime wrong. <---I'm still trying to learn this one!

    Don't give advice, unless it is specifically asked for , and even then watch for signs that they don't want to hear what you are saying and don't push the advice.

    Edited to add - I am still really struggling with this one.

    ^^ THIS!

    I have many bad memories of the past, so bad that it killed my self-esteem & now I'm traumatic.
