People always tend to say "I have seen the world and know how it all works".

How streetwise do you consider yourself to be? Basically What lessons do you think life has taught you the hard way...ie. people/trust/situations anything?

A few years back I had a biking accident that almost killed me. Lying in a dried up river bed I couldn't remember a damn thing. However, in Hospital I had plenty of time to muse over the fact that I came so close to dying, having experienced a fraction of what life has for me. Shortly after I was discharged from Hospital, I was reading on the Internet that I, as in me had a one in four hundred trillion chance of being born as me.

I also figured that, with seventy years (if I'm lucky) knocking around on this planet, why would I bother wasting a single moment of that doing something I didn't enjoy? I.E Working 9-5 in some dead end job.

So, after those three elements combined into a thought process, I decided that I wouldn't spend a moment doing something I didn't enjoy. I'm not going to Uni, I'm not going to take a job that has me doing the same thing day in, day out. I'll work small, part time jobs to pay my way, but never in one place for long.

With only another fifty years left, I dread the possibility I'll be lying on my death bed thinking "I haven't used my one in four hundred trillion chance to enjoy every ****ing moment" - So, my life lesson learnt is to use that one in four trillion chance and every second of my alloted time here to do everything its humanly possible to do.

Unfortunately, it starts with part time work, repairing bikes, preparing ideas for Summer and subsequently afterwards and, of course, posting on TSR. But hey, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I just wish Summer would hurry the hell up.

People change .
Whatever happens happens for a reason
action speaks louder than words
Don't tell your problems to people 20% won't care and 80% feel happy that you are going through them
Dont look at the empty half or the glass look at the full half
be thankful with what you got because you might lose it tomorrow

everybody lies.

Don't work too hard! There's no point!

Life lessons..............on TSR?????????........................... :rofl3:

Yep, completely preposterous idea, right? Since you're obviously the only person in this thread, if not the whole of TSR, who has anything valuable to say about life, and you're quite clearly unwilling to contribute your wisdom, we might as well close this thread and die stupid. :^_^:

No matter where you go, you cant get away from yourself.
And if you want something done properly (at least what you think is properly) then do it yourself!

Boyfriends are replaceable.

Friends aren't worth it if they don't respect you. You'll have other friends.

Don't be kind to anybody, people see it as a sign of weakness and attempt to walk all over you.

In general people don't really give a **** about the embarrasing things you get up to. So just relax and enjoy life, why does someone elses opinion matter anyway.

Never be the one to stand by and let something happen to people when they need help

e.g. Bullying, I won't be the one to say it's not my problem, I shouldn't get involved, becuase that will encourage the bully and make them think that if they are doing something bad I would have said something so it's ok.
