Life 101

Due to the culmination of recent events and past events as well, here are the following lessons that had me strongly reaffirming my beliefs on how I view certain things in life.

1. Silence can be your best weapon.

3. Pride can be swallowed.
4. I hate controlling and manipulative people.
5. You can’t force people to change their ways or change the way they think.
6. You got to have proof. It’s his or her word against yours.
7. Try and try until you succeed.
8. Life is not perfect. No situation can be perfect. Nobody is perfect.
9. Patience is a virtue.
10. Respect is earned. Trust is earned…and did I say money is earned too?
11. Life is full of ironies.
12. A good attitude is the key to success.
13. Happiness is mostly found in the little things.
14. You can’t have the whole world.
15. Expect less and get lesser disappointments and more satisfaction.

18. Murphy’s Law is always working at its best.
19. The more you want it, the more you won’t get it.
20. You got to earn it hard, work it hard, play it hard, and live it hard.
