Here's the idea: everyone posts a pearl of wisdom, or more if you feel your WIS merits it. Maybe someone will learn from it, who knows?

So here's mine: in a relationship, making your partner is easy.

Only if you are Pygmalion.

It's never too late to reinvent yourself, take new chances, learn new things.

I took that to heart, around 10 years back, and have been building skills that make my friends want to head straight for my house, if the Zombie Apocalypse ever hits

Join the Army; travel to exotic, distant lands; meet exciting, unusual people....​

It's never too late to reinvent yourself, take new chances, learn new things.

One version of this is "start a second career".

Sorry, I traded the pearl of wisdom to a tavern wench for two pitchers of mead, a bowl of mutton stew, and a roll in the sheets...

Okay, now that I got that out of the way...

Pearls of wisdom, only some of which people slap me for saying, lol::

- Look on the bright side... It could be worse.

- If today is not literally the worst day of your life so far, then not only have you been through worse than this and survived - which means that you'll survive this - but you can also honestly say that things are better now than they have been in the past...

- Conformity is a condom for the mind - it prevents the conception of original thought and stops the spread of new ideas...

- Always be nice and polite to everyone - the less pissed-off people there are in the world, the less chance you have of getting shot by one of them.

* Do not take yourself too seriously. In the eyes of the universe, you are probably not that important.

* Do not go around picking fights. No matter how good you are, there is always someone out there that can beat you (either by skill or luck).

 

[Janx]

Wash your hands.

Wear a mask.

Brush your teeth.

Learn what order to do things.

1) Learn to cook, especially your favorite recipes from family & friends. At some point, you’re going to want those meals, and you won’t be near those people.

2) if/when you do cook, you can save yourself a lot of time- and minimize food spoilage- by buying large amounts of the veggies you eat most and having “prep day”. That means taking the time one day to clean, chop, dice, mince, etc., most or all of everything, and setting aside the bulk of it in the freezer. That basically translates into only having to clean your knives, and cutting boards ONCE as opposed to each time you cook. Additionally, that means STARTING to cook a meal takes a fraction of the time.

There are no rules, only guidelines.
