I'm really bored and I thought this would give me something good to lurk later, plus I wanted to make a thread.

Have at it. I'll post mine later.

Anything anyone says that precedes the word "but", doesn't matter.

Being able to pay your first rent cheque with money you worked hard to get is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. It's not easy to no longer have that financial security, but it's worth it to be completely independent and your own person.

The greatest life lesson i've learned is to not take anything for granted, as every day could be your last. Ive lost many family members/friends to unfortunate circumstances in the past and it certainly makes you think twice about taking ANY situation for granted thats for sure. Live every day as if it were your last, enjoy your life to its full potential.

Also

If you want something, work hard to achieve it. Nothing is unattainable if you put your mind to it.



EDIT: i sound like bloody Confucius lol

I think to make this more interesting, would be to rewrite the whole thread and make it from, "The greatest life lesson you've learned from the internet."

Not to trust everyone, I learned that from the internets. Been scammed too often.

Greatest life lesson I've ever learned is not to put my trust in anyone.

I'll tell you what I tell Wise Old King Hagan on a daily basis: Never trust.
Truly the greatest life lesson one can learn.

No matter what your circumstances, no matter what kind of horrible things happen and no matter how little you can do about it, there will always be something positive come out of your actions. It might be unexpected, it might be far down the track and seemingly unrelated, but it will make you not regret what you've done.

If not for an abusive asshole of an ex boyfriend, I'd never have met my wonderful partner. If not for some shit in my pre-teens that led to years of anxiety issues and depression, I'd never be the person I am today, with the opportunities I have and all the people I love around me. Something will always work out in the end.

All that "Don't trust anyone" stuff is so depressing. I'm just going to go be my own ball of sunshine over in the corner.

There will always be incompetent retards in positions of power.

Indeed. Everywhere I go in life, there is someone in charge who doesn't deserve to be.

As for me, I've learned that it's always best in life to be completely honest. Better to get in trouble for something I actually did, rather than something I did and then lied about.

Single greatest lesson: Hard work pays off.

My friends would sometimes bug me that I spent too much time in the lab, and worked too much during times when I "wasn't getting paid", like evenings. I believe in working on improving yourself if you're not getting paid money to do it, and to me, that was partly what the lab experience was that summer. That summer, my project got finished a day or so before I was due to end my time at the lab. "Spending too much time in the lab" resulted in a free trip to Washington D.C. to present my research, got my work published, and resulted in me winning a national scholarship.

That's all because I decided to skip a couple movies during the evenings and focus on that. I still enjoyed myself, don't get me wrong. I just didn't go every single time. A couple days more of messing around, and a lot of that stuff probably would not have happened.

It isn't about what's right or wrong, it's about what you can prove.

[Dazz]

Never buy an Audi

[Frizzle]

Fuck you

[Shampoo]

Fuck you

this is also a good lesson

[TDuff]

Most of the greatest things in life are experienced alone. Then there's no one else there to f*ck things up.

[Sinwin]

Never piss off females

[Random]

Don't work, make your money work for you.

[Bone]

"life lessons" are bunk.

[Boggart]

Life isn't fair. Getting upset over it is pointless. Use the energy to try and improve yourself.
