What are some of the greatest lessons you've learned thus far and how did you come about these conclusions?
_______________________
Mine is to do everything in excess. Work in excess, play in excess, enjoy every moment and to be present. My goal in life is to exhaust my resources. Experience all. Apply for that job I know is way out of my league, find my passion and go full force, devote my life to specialising in something and expanding myself, being able to contribute etc. I think then I'll feel like I never wasted because life is good and life is short to be too cautious all the time.

You seem to be in a real philosophical mood this evening
Okay, I'll play...
I've learned that in life, timing is everything.
I've also learned not to live my life trying to fit square pegs into round holes.
Laugh, work hard, live hard, let everyone know how you feel about them while you can, enjoy your life, try everything once, living well is the best revenge, don't hold a grudge, don't take more from life than what you are willing to give, only fight with the truth because there is no disputing it...
- most people will never be as honest as you wish they were, and this is especially true of those you call "friends"
- sometimes even family will throw you under the bus if it suits them (this was a particularly very painful and embittering lesson for me because it was something that I would have never done to family)
- empathy is not easy to find
- never, EVER look down on anybody who may be worse off or poorer than you at that moment... because you may one day fall on your luck and THEY may become rich
- there ARE some people who will remember a good, kind deed you've done for them even if you think that deed will be forgotten
- better to take a risk and fail than not to take the risk... I've seen this a number of times in my life now, and it's one lesson, I'm glad to say, I learned well (especially with women)
- you CANNOT change others!

Good stuff.
THe one about "let everyone know how you feel about them while you can" is a precious one. I end every phone call with my parents with "I love you," even though it's a tad awkward to say it to my father. And when it comes to women (the special few who have really meant something), I'm glad to say that there have been a few to whom I told them how I felt... didn't always work the way I'd hoped, but it was liberating to get that off my chest.
Anybody ever have their chest race, beat 10000 per minute when you're about to tell somebody you really like that you .... well... like them?

Thank you. You are right, letting others know how you feel about them is liberating whether the feelings are reciprocated or not.

That's deep. Living well TRULY IS the best revenge. I must seek revenge on many.
1. The more money you have the hotter the chicks you can attract.
2. Become an expert at mastering the business transaction. Always insist on free samples and when they want you to buy the product, decline the offer and leave.
Works for me You have to be an expert at #2 otherwise you get into a vicious cycle of destroying any chance of gaining any wealth.
life is one big fencing match. -
after your attack--- recover and close the line. do not assume you got the point and its over. trust me, you are about to be attacked.there is no past there is no future there is only the now. power down to the point of folding up, give ground if you have got it, now you are at your best.
be polite be meek, and stab them.
