Conventional Wisdom for life

[Snare]

What life lessons have you learned from growing up? Save your money, live your childhood? America is really as fat as everyone says it is?

What wisdom can you give to all the younger kids so they do f*** up as bad as you did?

How about for new smashers/new tourney goers, what's some conventional wisdom you can bestow upon us oh great elderly ones?

I've got one for freshman in high school. Don't be cocky and annoying, it gives seniors one more reason to reenact freshman friday. -.-

Men will spend two dollars on a one dollar item they need.

Women will spend one dollar on a two dollar item they want.

In short: keep the 'ho away from the J.C. Penny's 50% off sale.

--------------------------

Do not use Facebook regularly. I mean, I don't anyway, but still don't do it, or you'll be buying into overrated commercialism.

--------------------------

When in doubt, push the Jonas Brothers off a cliff.

 

[Blackadder]

Don't do psychedelic drugs.

 

[Proverbs]

Don't postpone research papers until the night before, especially when you're already seriously tired and all you have is serious amounts of disgusting tasting drinks with tons of caffeine to help you stay awake. It also makes you feel like your heart's gonna stop.

And I'm losing the ability to spell. That's not good.

 

[1048576]

Dance like it hurts; love like you need money; work when someone's watching.

 

[GoldShadow]

Be yourself.

 

[GreenKirby]

Goldshadow, that's the worse advice ever. lol

 

[missedwithtruestrike]

i agree with all of these. especially the last one.

use protection....i ****ed that one up once....

that sucks. but sorry i have no sympathy.


words of advice.

dont smoke, the commercials dont lie. and you don't look cool for doing it.

procrastination nation does not always win.

stay on your parents happy side as you get older.

being a **** in class and then come complaining to your teacher why you have a D or an F is ridiculous. you can show up and almost do nothing and still pass high school with C's and up.

get good grades. it will help in the long run.

kids younger than 14 or so DON'T need a cell phone. who the F do you need to talk to.

gold shadows advice is not bad.

 

[AquaTech]

You are what you eat.

 

[Livvers]

use protection....i ****ed that one up once....

Clearly your name is misleading.

 

[~rh]

"Things could be worse"

 

[missedwithtruestrike]

Clearly your name is misleading.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH! that made me lol...
also kids, dont drop outta school, dont use ANY drugs, and dont binge drink...essentially, dont be me.

 

[Teran]

Don't expect too much of humanity.

Don't be shocked by brutal violence and deplorable acts. Appreciate the good in the world, don't ignore that either.

 

[DTP]

I agree 100% with this. I've stayed up until 6AM doing a research paper, then I went to school 2 hrs later D=
I only got like 65% xD

But try not to leave everything until the last minute. Trust me, you'll regret it.........

 

[manhunter098]

Trust your own judgment but try to be as unbiased as you can.

 

[Frown]

If the chair you're sitting on suddenly loses one leg, don't keep using it just to be polite.

 

[Snare]

oh forgot one, bros before hoes. sounds stupid when you get the hot chick as your girlfriend but it's definitly one that you should keep in mind

 

[Niiro]

Be yourself unless you are an annoying, smart-*** **** like me.

Don't make stupid friends. I'm not even kidding. I made a couple friends in elementry school that I know regret making. Since you know them, you sorta feel forced to deal with their ****.

 

[Chaco]

Confucious say, "Do not run in front of car, because you get tire'd"

On a serious note:

Never say, never.

If it's green and it's not supposed to be. Don't eat it.

If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down.

Love is a serious mental disease.

[Niiro]

don't john when you lose.

 

[Mazaloth]

In life we must first understand the question rather then the answer. But we must also know when to stop looking for answers and tell yourself shut up and enjoy life.

"Metaknight is the best, but your character is better. Stop complaining and play."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is life, a game is a game. But, games are a part of life, put maximum effort in both.

"Don't wish to three stock, Do Three stock."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Options are the best thing to have in life.

[Chaco]

"Laugh when you're happy, cry when you're sad; eat, drink, play - be happy."

Lol commercials love using that one. "Eat, drink, play-be happy" On those get active ones. Those are really annoying btw. I really can't stand having that play after the first few seconds.

 

[Deleted member]

Forgive people

You'll get no sympathy from me.
I just couldn't resist!

Here's my list
-Don't do drugs.
-Study for tests every day, don't cram.
-Be thrifty.
-Don't get married/have a kid until you can support it.
-Don't call women fat.
-Don't make fun of mods Internet browsers.

 

[slave1]

-Don't get married/have a kid until you can support it.

worst advice ever. dont pay attention to him. if you say having a kid before marriage is a good thing to do. your an idiot. (sorry for the rant)

"A man should not believe in an "ism", a man should believe himself." - Ferris Bueller

Seriously though, study "isms", learn "isms" borrow ideas you like from "isms" and don't be afraid to add onto them or simply throw them away if they later disagree with your logic. Subscribing to a set thought system is self-limiting.

Know that you are niether big, nor small, nor anywhere in the middle. If the universe goes out infinitely, than it must also go infinitely inward also (atoms gotta be made of something right?). With this is mind remember that your existence is important because it belongs to you. It is you!

If you practice everything in moderation you'll never be great at something, or one thing, or better yet a few things. I'd rather be accomplished at a few things than all around decent at life in general. Personally, learning how to do something (ideally something with a lot of depth to it) really well will give you insight into other aspects of life. Even if that something gives you habitually poor posture and a weak lower back you might still find it worth it. I did.

Challenge conventional wisdom (maybe for you its Christianity) as well as unconventional wisdom ( idk Confucianism). Even if you ultimately find yourself agreeing with those same ideas later on at least you'll have an understanding of the reasoning. If you find new ideas to replace the old ones, challenge those too. There usually is some relevant reasoning behind conventional thought. Gainsaying the whole thing simply for being conventional is not wisdom (this is for all the different genres of would-be anti-conformist out there).

Thats all I got right now.

 

[PraKirJaq]

I'm pretty sure that he still means have a kid after marriage. Its just a matter of whether or not you can support a third member of the family.

 

[Kinzer]

Be happy when and if you can, and appreciate everything that is good such as your childhood, it will not last forever...

 

[Snare]

worst advice ever. dont pay attention to him. if you say having a kid before marriage is a good thing to do. your an idiot. (sorry for the rant)

pretty sure you've got a case of the misreads

good wisdom/advice so far, keep it up swf ^^

Another thing:

Judaism > Christianity because Moses > Jesus.

Allow me to explain: if they met in a random happenstance, THIS would happen:

Jesus- So, I heard you have a lot of cool acts behind your belt.

Moses- Meh, only a few...

Jesus- Well, can you do THIS?!? *Pulls out a glass of water and touches the surface do of it, turning it dark red*

Well? Didn't THINK so! *Sips the wine*

Moses- Well, that IS impressive. I know only ONE thing that can top it...

*Turns to the conveniently located oceanside beside the two and sticks out his arms parallel to each other, then splits them apart, as the sea splits nto two*

Jesus- <_< Umm, can you do THIS?!?

*Walks on top of the ocean water as it settles down, and does a jig on top of it*

Moses- *Yawns* Yes yes, quiet impressive. Be right back, I need a drink.

*Turns to a dozen boulders and smacks each of them, as water flows out of them*

Jesus- >_< I DIED AND CAME BACK TO LIFE THREE DAYS LATER!!!

Moses- I killed over five thousand Egyptains by waving my hands around.

Jesus- WE HAVE THE LARGEST GLOBAL FOLLOWING!!!

Moses- Which originated from US. If we weren't here, you and your black-collar, glasses wearing, child loving followers wouldn't be here eiher.

Jesus- YOUR PEOPLE KILLED ME.

Moses- Wrong. Romans did it.

Jesus- DAMMIT WHAT HAVE I DONE THAT YOU HAVEN'T DONE?!?

Moses- I actually HAD a father.

Jesus- *Ahem...* Yes, I am the miracle child, born of only a mother.

Moses- Wouldn't that make ou a b*st*rd then?

Jesus- .......

 

[slave1]

^^i will restrain my self from saying anything

 

[Frown]

Jesus and Moses

I can't tell if that was offending or not.

"Keep thy religion to thyself" -George Carlin

Oh yeah, and on the subject of George Carlin, the world would really suck with out good comedians.

 

[IrArby]

i don't read the rules

The world consists of ***** ******* and A holes. If your not one of those specifically, your somewhere in between which makes you a taint or a chode (whichever you prefer).

Is that acceptable now?

 

[Snare]

religious joke

not conventional wisdom and probably offensive to someone :\

 

[Chaco]

Xsy will be pissed if he sees religious talk.

Knowledge right there.
