Actually, I remember both the embarassing things that I did and that others did...realizing that everybody is continuously doing mildly stupid things is freeing as suggested above, though. Moreover, I guess we tend to overrate the "level" of embarassment of stupid things, i.e. the same mishap we would find more embarassing when happening to ourself to when we observe it from others.

They should use a different picture. The Bundy's raised two very successful kids. Both are actors.

Trying to coverup a smartass comment

A little ironic...

A healthy mindset

Unfortunately personal responsibility isn't something people are taught anymore. It's easier to blame someone else.

Always get it in writing.

and even if something is bad you have a right to love it. i love the movie Battlefield earth with John Travolta. i know it's a bad movie.

I don't mind people telling me how they're not ok, it can be therapeutic for them to share what they're feeling. Sometimes all someone needs is some compassion to realize that it's ok to not be ok. But when they're always talking about their problems, aren't helped by a compassionate listener, and never do any thing to address their problems, then I feel that type of "not ok" is not ok—for them or for me.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

It's amazing to me how many actually don't. I worked with a woman for years who drank nothing but diet Coke. Never saw her drink anything else.

That’s almost the only thing I drink these days. And not pre-bottled, expensive filtered tap water. Just water from my own tap, through my own filters. Oh, and coffee.

I can't show this to my girlfriend... she is already making me drink water even when I say: but I already had juice and milk and coffee.and tea...NOP! THAT DOESN'T COUNT! 😄🤣

Touch grass

Unless youre broken enough as a human to have a water allergy 💁💁💁 lol

Honestly, why did you give a platform to these two-bit hacks? They're mostly pretentious simpletons saying the most obvious things.

Yea this became glaringly obvious when the pandemic hit. Things everyone should know: how to sew, basic woodworking (you should be able to cut 2 pieces of wood and screw them together), and how to dress a chicken.

This one I learned the hard way. Treat everyone equally as we all have the same value. No life's worth more or less. We all exist and each life is valuable. There's nowhere that states that a life is worth more because of skin color, gender, money, education, nationality, culture, success, etc.

Frankly, I do not need to love someone to not intentionally hurt him or her. Intentionally hurting someone is a sign of a lack of ability to be empathic (but for extreme situations like self-defense of course).

TICK! ✔✔✔✔

Remember that 'anyone' includes yourself. Ask yourself: "If I do this, and keep doing it, will it hurt me?" and "If I do this/keep doing this, will I like and respect the person that that makes me?"

3 rules I found in life that have found should followed...Dont lie, don't steal, and if you screw up admit it.

Dear god, thank you for the coffee, that gives me the energy to change the things I can, and for the weed to help me accept the things I can't.

Where the f**k would you pull Hitler from following an entry like this? Unless of course you're completely obsessed by the megalomaniac.

Amazing true

I strongly reject this one. There might be some truth for countries like the US where tuition will cost a fortune, but in general, I strongly believe that lifelong learning is essential, that it is *always* the right time to try out learning something new, and that *any time* in life is the right time to find out what you want to do; taking up studies may well be part of this process, regardless of whether you retain these or soon give them up again.

Sadly, some people do not have their own best interests at heart. Some of them learned that from people who did not have their best interests at heart, but some are just fools.

Every time my kid doesn't want to brush her teeth I tell her that she needs to look at the brown spots on mine

Don't react. Respond. The difference is reacting is a visceral emotional automation, whereas responding means to think and give an appropriate reply.

I know its not the point of this, but who still believed in santa after they were 5 or 6?

I know this to be true as I am an absolute b@stard to myself and have been all my adult life. I'm struggling through therapy now to try to break it down and be kinder to myself. It's a hard habit to break.

This is my motto. The more you know yourself and are honest and coherent with who you are, the more life starts to make sense. Don't rush it; you have a whole life to learn who you are. One lesson at a time.

Unless you're a night person...

you must be strong to don't have the man who killed your brother. good for you.
