What is the biggest lesson you learned that no one teaches

When you’re remembering how it was just remember how it was.

It’s better to be alone then to be with somebody and wishing you were alone.

Your children: When they’re little they’ll step on your toes and when they’re big they’ll step on your heart.

The only good Republican is a dead Republican.

...70 this fall...that there is nothing new under the sun, that this too shall pass, that events have their rhythms, and that the world will go on just fine without me after I die.

My advice when buying real estate.

If you don't already, learn to like Hawaiian pizza. Whether you're in a dorm, frat/sorority, sharing a rental house, got a roomie in an apartment, everyone is going to try to mooch off of you when you order a pizza. Weeding out the food snobs will cut that down by quite a bit.

The gut never lies.

It was learned over a series of lessons, but the most important was spending 10 days in the Boy Scouts living out of my backpack at Philmont Scout Ranch. We had to dig slit trenches for bathrooms. We collected firewood over which to cook. We cleaned our cooking tools and dishes over water we boiled over our wood fire. Basically, we were dependent upon ourselves for "everything". That, combined with some survival training I had, taught me that I could basically "take care" of myself in "any" situation.

Is that a bit over the top? Sure. Of course we need to go to doctors for physicals, dentists to clean our teeth, etc. But it also taught me that I was vastly more capable than many sources wanted me to believe.

I just fixed my microwave for a relatively minor breakage because I watched just enough YouTube videos to figure it out. We have more capability than we are often led to believe, especially in this hyper connected world in which we live than we are often led to believe.

Be the hero of your own destiny..the best revenge is to live well..put your own oxygen mask on first..

Pay yourself first out of every paycheck.

Get a lawyer if you're being screwed.

Buy a decent car and maintain it. Keep it forever.

When you are at work, never lift anything heavier than a pencil.

Advice I didn't take until I was 47. And sure enough, I made more money than I ever had before.

Never get in a hurry when zipping up your pants....Why didn't' someone tell me?

...because other things have a way of arising that will eat your time away.

based on the videos of all the people throwing fits, and what I myself see in real life (example: MAGAts), that is something TOO MANY PEOPLE never learn

you can walk away, cut off, remove yourself from the toxicity of other people to guard your own mental health.

with a toxic sibling.

other members of my family say I should just forgive and forget. and I feel they look at me like I'm the one in the wrong now. it's not easy.

but eventually a weight is lifted.

Save at every opportunity because often a job often means:

Just

Over

Broke

because that's a man that won't trust his own pants to stay up.
