Life advice

>>18089171
All regrets are being sowed from chances you don't take. Remember that chance being taken and result in failure still more satisfying than not taking it all.

Pick something and stick with it until you get a bit of experience. You never know where it might lead you.

I'm beginning to learn this as I go on in years. I've always been very altruistic to a fault. I was sort of overly selfless and it didn't get me anywhere. It may sound cynical and depressing, but I've found that the world is kind of harsh and preys on people with that sort of outlook. I don't think being a complete self-centered dick is the way to go about life, but definitely being selfish more often will yield better results.

Also dont try intil you are 35, work on your craft in the mean time.

I think the good balance is found where in being selfish means you always make yourself the main priority first before you give other people time of the day.

The downfall isn't when you're giving to other people, but when you're forgetting about yourself. Feed yourself first before you feed others.

this.

Except when that chance actually fucks you up more than you would had you not taken it.

Insecurity exists for a reason you know, so you don't make stupid stuff that simply isn't worth it.

Not all advice works for you. People have very different personalities and very different situations. There simply can't be a advice that works for all people.

You need to know what makes you fulfilled so you can build a happy life to yourself.

Taking care of your psychological well-being is more important than taking care of your physiological well-being (unless both are related). Psychological trauma hurts more and is more lasting than physiological trauma. Whatever makes yourself happy.

Advice help those who gives it, not who receives it. You will figure things out by yourself.
>>18089842 <-- this guy definitely gets it, speaking about very different conditions. Most advice is meaningless platitude. Proceed with caution.
Looks do matter, it matters a lot, maybe even more than I admit, never disregard it and take care of yourself.
If you spot that someone straightforwardly lies to you, appeals to your feeling of worth to get their needs met, belittles you -- recognize it but never, ever show your contempt, hold down any negativity, never let yourself to be provoked. Smile, show cunningness, adjust.
Isolation is deadly. However, if you feel that relationship doesn't satisfy you -- burn the bridges. Be careful of what leverages people have got onto you.
Trust yourself, never be doubtful of yourself. Don't lose optimism.
Nobody wants to attach themsevles to losers. The world is yours to share your happiness, nobody would be here to share your sorrow.
Never put value in what people say. This includes positive things.

Don't believe faggots like me on basket weaving boards.

If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. Once your settled in, the years will fly by.

If you hate your job, getting out of bed everyday is a struggle. You wind up being miserable and making everyone around you miserable too.

Get out of your comfort zone. If there's something you think about doing but are afraid to initiate, just do it. Great things will come out of it.

Be formless, shapeless, like water.

and consider living in a barrel, right?

when working with or for someone: communication is often more important than the actual job. Efficient people like to stay informed because they base their decisions on that. It won't matter that you've created a masterpiece if there was no word from you for a month.
