I came across this writing a few days ago and it has stayed with me.
I agree 100% to what this writer penned.


What is the biggest lesson you learned that no one teaches?

Arguing with a fool proves there are two.

The easiest way to wait for something is to forget it exists.

Leave, when a promise turns into a sorry.

The worst type of loneliness is the loneliness you feel when you are with people.

There are no rules of attraction when it comes to meeting your match.

You don't need to compromise on your standards, the right person will come to you.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

A toxic person only changes their victims, never themselves.

A conversation about how you feel is not supposed to end in an argument.

Someone’s effort is a reflection of their interest in you.

You can be the whole package at the wrong address.

Facts over feelings. Don’t let your emotions play with your intelligence.

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.

6. Self reliance

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.
