In time, I might learn that too...eventually.

Life can be pretty two-sided for a 24 year old in a pressure-cooker job. :rolleyes:

I dont think thats different for a lot of people - it's just that i'm vocal about it.


but on the whole ... i think most people think i'm pretty laid back as well ..

hell i'm completely horizontal compared to when i was an angry young guy in my late teens and 20's. as life goes on, you either figure out some answers and find a way to deal, or you go batshit and lead a very miserable life. i naturally chose the former.
yeah.......you definitely mellow with age.

True.

it doesnt happen overnight ..

simple rules :

- dont sweat the small stuff
- dont worry about things you have no control over
- no matter how bad something seems at the time - know from experience that in a day or 2 it'll be nothing more than a memory (and a lesson learned ?)


not just quaint lip service - i live by those 3 things..

If you get old enough, it won't even be that.

Pretty much definitive guidelines for a contented and happy daily life. I need to learn to live by those too.

Thanks, Dave. :)
