If you are on a date with a guy and he mentions how hard it has been for a nice guy like him to meet someone you should run away. Anytime a man has to tell you he is a nice guy it is because he is a jerk.
Just because some one is related to you by blood does not mean you are automatically required to help them out of whatever dumbass-douchebag thing they have gotten themselves into again.
When everyone in your social circle, work circle and family circle tells you that you are being used. You.Are.Being.Used. This is not my experience. A coworkers.
Don’t gossip.
When you’re in this situation you don’t pay any mind to reason. (It’s synonymous with trying to convince a religious person that God doesn’t exist)
When is enough? Seriously? When was this magic “You’ll start to enjoy it” supposed to kick in? 4.5 miles a day wasn’t enough. What would be?
Getting back to the OP:
Exercise advice is idiosyncratic - what works for one person may not work for everyone.
Trying to talk oneself out of depression with negative self-talk doesn’t work.
One of my mottoes is “I’ll find the quick and easy way to do something, no matter how much time and trouble it takes.”
Your baby will not go back to sleep until you feed her, no matter how hard you wish.
A peanut may seem like a safe alternative because it’s non-absorbent, but peanuts are slippery, and your doctor will still need to use the scary tweezers.
If your new motherboard has a 24-pin power connector, but your old power supply has only 20 pins, the other 4 are not optional.
As a corollary, if you’re female, never trust a man who doesn’t want to go through the door you opened for him.
It’s an act of courtesy towards another human being. Walk through the damn door.
If someone has proven himself in a field, over and over, and you - on the other hand - are a complete greenhorn, listen carefully to the other guy. He’s what’s known as an expert.
I didn’t really do that when I built my boat, and it was embarrassing, for a while.

In the long run, I think it was a valuable lesson anyway, and it was all kind of fun - even the humiliation though, so I think some lessons are best learned the hard way.
When diagnosing a fault with a lamp. 1. Unplug it. 2. Don’t simply take somebody else’s word for it that they switched the mains supply off.
You can try stuffing the underwire back in your bra repeatedly. You can even try sewing it up. But once the underwire makes its initial escape attempt, the bra’s pretty much shot.
As others have said, If you don’t think it can get worse, wrong! Reality can be a bitch and I’m trying to teach my daughter this lesson. So far she is not listening.
Close the blinds.
Your best teacher is your last mistake.
Despite the fact you did it wrong, I think it is superbly awesome you built a boat. I would have done it more wronger than you should I have attempted it, which I wouldn’t.
This made me laugh. Then I looked to see who posted it…and it gave me a little shiver. :eek:
Never lend money to friends or relatives.
Let strangers think you are rich, friends and relatives think you are poor.
If you have a male friend or relative, he will stab you in the back bigtime in the presence of
a beautiful woman, even if he is married.
If somebody wants my opinion, they will ask.
Working hard and being smart beats being smart.
An ounce of image beats a pound of performance.
Keep your hand on your wallet.
If you have something good going on, keep quiet about it.
If somebody has the option of saving my life and saving 50 bucks, so long, greatshakes!
Amen
Meh, grad school was consistent work even if it sucked. Not like undergrad, but not like real job. As long as you set your expectations low, live on microwave burritos and cheap beer, it delays responsibility. That is at least how it works in science, where you get paid a living wage.
I had some seriously nice TA’s as an undergrad. They must have liked me, because twice I turned all my labs in during finals week and never was deducted late points. If my students did that to me I would have thrown them in the trash.
Never apply Ben-Gay directly after taking a hot shower/bath.
