Never fully trust anyone other than yourself.
Never speak ill of another man, instead speak the good of everyone you know.
Women want 2 things. Security & appreciation. If you can provide those you're set.
Everyone you meet is superior to you in some way, learn something from them.
Show interest in someone and they will want to be around you.
The world is full of people that are grabbing and self-seeking. So if you can unselfishly serve others you will have an enormous advantage.
Try to see the world from other's points of view. This will eliminate confrontations.
Never try to impress people. They simply don't care.
Be lavish in your appraisal of others but not to the point of flattery.
Always smile. Even on the phone a warm smile can be sensed.
You're as happy as you set your mind to be.

He did it right brah.
Well, he has times where he does need to work 60-80 hours in a week. It's not all the time though. My dad was a constant presence at my house growing up. When he had to work on weekends, he did it at home so he could at least be around if one of his kids wanted to show him something cool, or needed his advice and help. He is a great father, and while I have no desire for kids in the next 10 years for sure, if I ever have them, I know who I'll be like. I respect him, because he never acted like he was rich. First 5 years of my life, I lived in downtown Wilmington, DE. Straight up hood. Then we moved to the suburbs north of the city, and then to a big azz house. I watched him work his way up, but he never lost sight of the important things in his life.
I should add that he is on a business trip in Dallas right now, and he STILL took time to listen to my new track 6 times in order to give me his musical opinion. That is a kickass dad!Here for the gains.
We're all gonna make it brah.

Never forget someone's name.
When being spoken to, listen intentively. It's one of the highest compliments you can give.
Become the lesson you would teach.
The only way to win an argument is to avoid it.
Never share fixed opinions.
If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

Expect nothing from anyone. When you do get something worthwhile it will come as a surprise and will be that much sweeter. Only have expectations based on what you can control and prepare for.
Never tell anyone how great you are, people will notice for themselves and respect you much more
Question everything, and never take what you hear at face value. You will be ahead of 99% of the population in social intelligence.Last edited by roko79; 03-04-2014 at 06:12 PM.

If you speak honestly and from the heart people can generally tell and appreciate you for it. I've said some of the most idiotic things to chicks, strangers, whatever and in most cases it's worked out just fine. I'm not saying blurt out every single feeling or thought that comes to mind, rather it's generally better to say something real rather than a line or something you've concocted in order to get the reaction you want.

So often does "i feel...." become a statement that has an objective basis is reality,this is bull**** and called emotional reasoning.Attempting to navigate through life based upon intuition is a bad idea,and it'll **** you up.Be sure to question your emotional state and how you perceive reality.Your brain loves "shortcuts" called heuristics which reduces the cognitive load required to reason.Your brain loves to make assumptions and if at times you don't correct harmful patterns of thoughts then you'll lose your mind,i learned this the hard way.Im bi-polar and i've have taken every medication on the market and have seen at least 6 therapists since i was a teenager(first one at 14).Nobody told me this,i learned this through trial and error and because of my discovery my mental illness isn't as debilitating, frankly my suggestion has application for just about anyone.
If you go through life looking for negativity it's all you'll find.10 people could treat you with great empathy and compassion,but if 1 person wrongs you then suddenly you might spiral into a cycle of cynicism.This is called confirmation bias;you expect people to treat you like **** and you'll therefore discount the experiences of everyone who fails to uphold that schema.This point relates heavily to my first point.
There a multiple ways to get to the same place in life,don't rule out the alternatives.Last edited by Metalhead44; 03-04-2014 at 06:27 PM.

the less you care about something the more power you have over it;
the more you resist something the more it persists
fear is a shallow emotion
mindset and attitude is a side effect of action; if u want to confident don't try to channel confident mindset, take confident action or respond to events with confidence and that will be a side effect
if your life sucks, then change it srs

A quote I like related to this is something like "never regret anything you done in the past because at that point in time it was exactly what you wanted."
Although, if your regret is not approaching a girl because you were a poosy is this quote valid? If you did approach you might have got somewhere. That's why as you say it's important to learn from it and move on.

Life isn't about trying to get the best hand of cards, it's about doing the best you can with a bad hand.
As someone with Crohn's this strongly applies. It's defined my life more than anything else for the past 10 years. I still have trouble accepting how much I've lost from it, both in terms of time and sacrifices of my lifestyle, but it's the hand I was dealt and I have no choice.-Crohn's Disease crew
