Don't step on people's toes unless you can cut them off from your life with no consequences.
Don't burn bridges.
Give up your rights for peace.

[Lemon Crest]

It's never too late to better yourself.

[Joni]

Never go into spoiler topics before you have seen the latest episodes of a show.

[Pancakes]

You're going to fuck up eventually, none of us are perfect, just be sure to learn from your mistakes.

[JokerOfSpades]

Working with the negatives can make for better pictures
Hennessy and enemies is one hell of a mixture

[Tesseract]

glenlivet is the best. dayz is maybe the greatest game ever.

[CliqWriter]

Try things that you don't think you can do.
You will surprise yourself.

[hawkshockey11]

Never live your own life with other people's advice and lessons. Make your own mistakes and learn your own lessons.

except this one...

[Tesseract]

Never live your own life with other people's advice and lessons. Make your own mistakes and learn your own lessons. except this one...

well fucking played.

*edit* oh, i thought 'except this one...' was only quote visible. still worth a clap.

[Gin]

[imtehman]

I've come to learn that life is futile without God.

That seeking fulfillment through worldly pleasure is meaningless

Jesus tells you how to have true joy.

John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Love is ultimately the true source of happiness because God is the very essence of love

Love God with all your heart, soul, and might and love your neighbor as yourself. Upon those two things hang all the law and the prophets.

In the end, we all are going to die. So everything you do here is meaningless unless it has some eternal significance.

[Devolution]

2. Never be direct with women.

[Glorious_Paradox]

-The only people who don't make mistakes are those who don't do anything.

-The only things worth knowing are those which can't be taught.

-Better let your experiences shape your ideas, rather than let your ideas shape your experiences.

-You can't discover new horizons if you don't have the courage the leave the shore.

-Better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do.

-There are three types of people in the world: useful, useless and annoying (that's a gem from my grandfather).

[MaddenNFL64]

Never fully trust people outside your family & friends. Seriously, people are always trying to sell a shined up turd as gold. Getting burned is the worst. Makes you wary of people, even if they are actually decent, you just can't know. Never take shit at face value.

[DominoKid]

Do what you want (w/in reason) and fuck what everybody else thinks or how it makes them feel. You only live once so make the best of it.

[cHaotix8]

If red's close to black, you're okay, Jack! But if red's close to yellow, you're a dead fello'.

Always know the pupose in all that you do.

[Necromanti]

Friends are life's way to make up for the family you did (or didn't) have.

Thought without action is meaningless.

Understanding how little we know is the first step towards knowing.

Don't underestimate the power of the mind. You are your worst enemy. You can't change the past, but you can let tragedies become forces that drive you.

Everything is relative, so try to appreciate all differences with an open mind, even when it may seem impossible to do so.

Learn to forgive yourself.

Death is the only true end.

[lobdale]

Learn who and what is worth your time.

[ZZMitch]

1. Always look for the positive in any situation
2. Take a while to relax after a stressful time (by doing things such as enjoying nature etc.)
3. Leave no stone unturned, don't let small issues become larger because you didn't face the issue directly from the beginning
4. The Earth is a beautiful place
5. It is better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all

Man you have to be fun at a party.

How is this even advice?

[GasProblem]

Try not to worry too much about what other might think of you.

[Dariee]

You're expected to pay with money. Gratitude or being friendly doesn't count.

Oh, and the rich get richer etc. Same old story. Sadly, still true.

[Icefire1424]

Flies carry disease, so keep yours closed.

[Bennettt2]

- Learn to define and detail the generally important things in life to make them more achievable and thus generating more confidence in yourself.

For example, romantic love is the general term. I would define finding romantic love as detailed as possible - sight, smell, taste, touch and sound. I'd be with someone who was at least pleasant in all these categories (my ideal partner would smell like flowers, taste like bubblegum,etc.) This would define my perspective on attraction and make it easier to know what I want.

[K.Sabot]

It's not a waste of time if you enjoy yourself.

[shuri]

1) Girls problems are not all that important. There's always going to be new girls to meet and meat too!
2) Trust nobody. Not because the entire world is a place filled with evil people, but sometimes the best of friends will 'turn' against you for personal gain; not because they are bad people.
3) Always think for yourself first. No matter what.
4) cash rules everything around me, dollah dollah bill ya

[Scrow]

You can unravel the threads of your mind very quickly and easily. Pulling them back together takes a lot of time and effort.

[Tricky I Shadow]

Wow, some really great stuff is in this thread.....good work GAF!

[Bread]

Fuckin relax
don't be a dick
keep limbs inside moving vehicles
wrap that shit up
mcdonalds breakfast will always be there for you

[Omegasquash]

1) Detach yourself emotionally from involvement in a problem and you're able to see the answer way faster.

On the contrary, though just as effectively...

2) Give in to the moment from time to time and let yourself be moved. It's fun, and it gives your figurative feet a rest to boot.

3) Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

[Gustav]

Sepultura in our hearts will always remain, can't take it away, these roots will always remain.

[PuppetSlave]

You can choose to be happy.

[ErasureAcer]

Only go to a casino with what you're willing to lose. Leave the credit/debit cards at home.

[Sadsic]

don't look back in anger

[shinobi602]

Hornets are mean motherfuckers.

[Sax_Man]

I open my eyes and feel an immense joy at the sunlight breaking through the window. I laugh with absurd glee as I french press a cup of delicious coffee. I throw back my head and sing happily along with a buzzing radio. I grin stupidly as the sweet flavors of fresh fruit and yogurt dance on my tongue.

[luckyarcher]

don't look back in anger

...I heard you say...

Best piece of advice from Steve Jobs which I could personally relate to, well before I came across it last year:

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well worn path; and that will make all the difference.”

[Houston3000]

In personal relationships; if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. That being said, providing criticism is not always a bad thing, especially if it's constructive... and your friends will appreciate you more for it.

[Volimar]

Learning to walk was a big lesson. Gaining the power of speech was a biggie as well. Reading and mathematics as well.

Lots of good lessons in life.

[bounchfx]

Don't be a douche bag.
Treat others with respect.
Mind your surroundings.
Don't assume things, especially about people.

[sinxtanx]

That the meaning of life was not worth seeking, and is handily trumped by most recipes for cake.

Making people laugh is one of the best feelings ever.

Reality does not have to be understandable to work.

Love can (and will) take more than one form.

[Conciliator]

Some things I've learned and that strongly affect who I am, how I behave and my relationship with myself and the world around me:

-The universe is indifferent, humanity does not have intrinsic value within the universe and life does not have inherent meaning. You can try to make it have meaning, if you like.
-'Fake it till you make it' is a small bit of advice with a surprising range of useful applications.
-Body is mind. My relationship with the world is affected strongly by my body chemistry, which is affected by exercise, sleep, the stuff I put into my body(drugs, food, etc.), sunshine, etc.. So, I can change my relationship by changing those things.
-

This is the big thing I want to speak on to set the tone: Nobody in this building asked to be born. You didn’t ask to be you, bro. I didn’t ask to be me. I didn’t ask to have this skin. I didn’t ask to be who I was, bro. Nobody in here asked that. The beautiful people? Your beautiful parents made you, bro. You didn’t ask for that. You didn’t ask to live where you live or anything. So when you see people, forgive them and accept, you feel me? You gotta open your mind and say, man, nobody asked to be born. Life is hard, kinda.

-Your mind is constantly bullshitting you. all kinds of people in all kinds of media, and just some people you know in real life, and you yourself are abusing those systems that make your head fuck with you. If you want to stay ahead of it, you have to treat it with the utmost level of distrust and caution. Step back from your beliefs and say 'Why do I believe this? Is this True, in the literal, mathematical sense of the word? Is there something in me drawing me to it? If so, is that affecting my belief/disbelief?' If you think you are above this, you will be forever swindled by your own brain. Sometimes(frequently), the truth is immensely unpleasant.
-If you commit to something - a job, a wife, a kid, a business, a belief set, a personality, whatever - not because it's what you really want, but because society expects it of you, you are setting yourself up for misery.

Just some of the things that came to mind.

EDIT: Little nugget from Les Savy Fav:

If you let bitterness get in your home, get in your chest, it gets into your bones.

[Kyoufu]

People can fall out of love and really, it's okay.

I wish I knew this before I fell in love for the first time.

[Dreaver]

In general try to be friendly and nice to everbody, but don't try to be too nice or act like you're everyone's best friend. People will either start finding you irritating or misuse it.

[GooderThan]

Talk face to face to whoever you are talking about. Don't talk behind people's backs, it will get around.

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

If you take something from someone, they own a part of you.

[eternaLightness]

Things I've always found to me most important:
- to be very patient. Things rarely go how and when you want them to. Takes time.
- things can happen when you least expect them to. For better and for worse.
- someone else's struggles can be much more worse than my own.
- don't try to force anything and let life take its course.
- distancing yourself from certain people can have a huge positive affect on your life(Considering you felt those certain people were holding you back from something.)

A few of these I've actually just experienced in the past few years.

[Seep]

It's not what you know it's who you know.

And the grass is always greener on the other side.

Oh and wear your socks inside out so the seam doesn't hurt your toes. Thx GAF.

[SmellyHands]

It's all about who you know...Isn't completely true, but it sure does help a lot.
