What are some things that you have came to realize??
1.)My parents were right,money really doesn't grow on trees.
2.)There is a reason why some people are in my past,they weren't good enough to make it to my future.
3.)A good friend is someone who will tell you what you need to hear,not what you want to hear.
4.)You lose people you love sooner than you think.
5.)Time really does fly right by us.
6.)Never say things to someone that you will regret,it might be the last words you speak to them.
7.)Take chances
8.)Never change for the person you love or expect them to change for you.
9)Love hard
10.)Forgive,its easier than carrying around a grudge.

That's a really great list. All are worthy words to live by. The older I get the less I'm certain I know, so I can't contribute much to this thread.

Very nice list Pink.....very profound
My mother died at a pretty young age [57] ..she was a 2 pack a day smoker.
She left me with this....."Don't sweat the little things".....well...basically..
so I don't
as cliché as it is....life is too short...enjoy it...and I do :D

Don't lie - less pressure to carry, less ammo for those that'd use it against you, less excuses to stop you and the person people think you are from being one and the same.
Being polite and eloquent is something that people do not expect, especially in this day and age - but do recognize the value in.
Sugar coating things just makes the eventual truth that much more bitter.
"You should learn to cook", best advice I have ever taken, or could ever give.
Others liking you isn't as important as liking yourself - pursuit of the first can push you further from the latter.
"Others liking you isn't as important as liking yourself - pursuit of the first can push you further from the latter."
Amen brother.
and the cooking thing is good as well.....its very relaxing.

I agree with those and a few others
1.) Self Control: Learning when you can do something and deciding not to
2.) It's important to love yourself first, then others wil lgrow to love you
3.) Be yourself, and never feel as if you have to change for your friends--if you do they probably shouldn't be your real friends
4.) You don't have to be a genious to make smart decisions
5.) Never be close-minded to anything. Some times change is for the better; if it wasn't we all would've never heard of the word: options
I'll post more as I think of them

Mom was smart, and practical. That is one huge reason, and difference, between a shitty life and a contented one.
And I am with the latter, totally.
Others liking you isn't as important as liking yourself - pursuit of the first can push you further from the latter.
One guideline which everyone should follow. If you are not true to yourself, you really shouldnt even live.
I myself have found out and learnt a lot of things the hard way...
Everything doesnt always go your way...so if "this doesnt happen, that doesnt happen", take a deep breath and move on...
Enjoy the smaller moments of happiness - smiles shared by family and friends can help ease out the worst of pains and the toughest of situations.
Try to find some good in everything...remember, it can always be a LOT worse than it actually is.
The best people in your life are those who stick by you no matter how much shit you throw in their direction...realise their worth, and learn to value their existence in your daily life.
Last but the most important, realise your OWN mistakes. A lot of people say that they do, but in truth, very few people will stand up and say "I was wrong in this..." Its something to do with the egos - either sex - and somehow a human always manages to shift the blame on others. The one who admits to his own shit, is someone who can always live with himself...no matter what the situation.
A tough moral for today's world, but very worthwhile.

Flayeds 4 Golden Rules of Life
The only thing you'll ever know for certain in life is nothing is for certain.
No matter how bad it gets, it can always get worse
No matter how good it gets, it can always get better
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked in to jet engines

1) You can't turn back time, so just grit your teeth and live with it.
2) Never eat yellow snow.

Dont forget the main guideline, Mags - All apes and monkeys should be shot to avoid a Planet of the Apes/Time Machine scenario.

After 40 years, 2 marriages, moving across country 3 times, older brother dying at 32, and mom at 72, I have found I only know 1 thing....treat others as you would like to be treated. Very cliche', but so true. Other than that, I don't know shit. :D

my favorite axiom is a twist on an old one:
"Don't sweat the petty stuff, just pet the sweaty stuff." :D
I discovered that having a kid completely changes how you view the world. They are interesting little creatures that have the amazing ability to make you stop thinking about yourself first.
i happen to be lucky enough to have one that is brilliant and beautiful. She is already the kid that all the other kids want to be friends with. She is also inherently sweet, she seems to lack the maliciousness and selfishness that a lot of kids have.
Every time i think about what could happen to her, I freak out. Every time i think about what she can accomplish, I'm really glad she's mine.
She was also a lot of fun to make ;)

Pink, I'd like to post what I've learned but some of it's negative so I won't. I just wanted you to know that I like your list.
