The 50 tips thread.
1. Every choice you make has a consequence, you have the power to choose.
2. Find something you love and do it. Find yourself doing something you hate dont do it. Life is way too short.
3. No matter how appealing being lazy and doing nothing sounds like, in the long run it wont help you.
4. If you want something go get it. Its that simple. Fuck what other people say you can and can't do, find out for yourself because a lot of the time thats their rule not yours. Find your own rules.
5. No matter how sophisticated you are or we are as a race, we are still animals and we still live in the world. It is still kill or be killed.
6. The phrase kill or be killed doesn't mean you have to be offensive all the time, sometimes the best way to 'kill' is to share and be friends with others.
7. Music will ALWAYS change your mood/emotions, use it to your advantage.
8. You are not immortal, do it now or don’t do it, don’t faff around.
9. If it helps you and benefits you in anyway, it can never be 'geeky' or 'lame' that’s just someone putting you down for helping yourself...? Are you going to let them?
10. Humans are social and no matter how intelligent you are, multiple people generating ideas will always always out do a single person. Learn to share and realize you get back just as much as you shared, just not always in the way you thought.
11. The past does not equal the future. My future depends on what I do today.
12. Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean it is right or the best thing to do.
13. You don't owe anyone unless you let yourself owe them. And there are times when it is earned.
14. NEVER ever dismiss a person on impressions. EVERYONE has something to share and benefit you with; be it a word, an action, a perspective, anything.
15. You can never have 'too many' friends. Just know that some deserve your respect more than others.
16. Never jump to conclusions about people, there is always something they will be better than you at.
17. You are the most important person in the world.
18. Being nice and honest might not get rewarded as it should do, but in my head at least I can safely say I've made people happier in the world even if they haven't done that for me I still feel good about it.
19. Karma exists, maybe not in the way its commonly known and maybe its not as powerful as you think. But be good to yourself you will feel good. Be bad you will feel bad. Be mean to people and less people will like you and you will probably miss some sort of advice or help that would have helped you in a tremendous or little way.
20. Thank people for helping you. They don’t HAVE to you know.
21. Advice may change your life totally one day or help you with one tiny little thing. Don’t be picky its all movement in the right direction. Nothing can be too small or too insignificant.
22. Music business is totally controlled. I have a friend who works as a radio DJ and they cant play 'good' music. Only music approved by their bosses. And think about the 60's? Now the 70's? 80's? 90's? How do you identify them? Music? Fashion? Politics? Its all not completely in your control. Be careful of who and what you trust/follow.
23. Boredom is literally impossible. Remember it is NEVER a lack of things to do but an attitude and attitudes are 100% under your control. Get lost in your mind for hours, or get lost in the jungles of Africa. The 'world' exists on a metaphysical plane too.
24. Old people have experience; there is always a good story/lesson to learn from them. And young people are not always stupid and unwise. (I’m 18 right now).
25. You are most happy when you are balanced; be it physically, mentally whatever.
26. The world works on SO many levels. There is what you can see, sound waves, thought, math’s, cells, spiritual, egos I can go on for hours. Don’t underestimate how much there is out there to discover.
27. Any substance is fine as long as you can keep control. I have no problems smoking weed, I do have problems smoking weed for 3 months straight. Excess anything is never good. Even working out.
28. MSG is a drug, it over stimulates your brain cells causing them to exhaust themselves and die. Yes die.
29. Never impose your beliefs on someone else unless they are a willing audience. You can’t dish out advice unless they are aware that your in a position to dish it out. I can’t tell people I just met how to pick up girls, most guys I meet are older than me and will get offended if I do. What I can do is do it in front of them gain their respect and then teach them.
30. Dancing alone or with a friend just randomly is always fun and will always get your energy level back up. I took a break between #29 and #30 on this thread to dance to 'Crescendolls' by Daft Punk and I had a BLAST, lol.
31. Laughing is contagious, if you just sit and start laughing without saying something by yourself or with people and get them to fake laugh too, within seconds it becomes real laughter and you have so much fun.
32. You have total control of your emotions. How you react to an event determines the outcome. Your insulted and you insult back you both look like douches him for being immature and you for being so sensitive. Now if he insults you and you just ignore it and move on and not care, he's the one who looks like a total idiot.
33. Women are wonderful but hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
34. Don’t cheat on girls, and if you do don’t let it get to the point where you embarrass them. Its just pathetic and who are you impressing? Some other dick that thinks girls are meat? Multiple partners is not something girls are uncomfortable with these days. Keep it honest.
35. Getting drunk is over-rated. When your wasted you have to concentrate to listen and the next day you don’t feel that great...I have fun drinking sure, but I don't know why everyone especially my age are so obsessed with getting as drunk as possible. Your only proving you can make yourself the most stupid. Drink in moderation, when your too drunk to function people either laugh at you or get pissed off at you. Anyway people who drink to gain confidence to streak and do stupid things that take balls are pussys. I do that sober anyway.
36. Starting fights with people to scare them or establish how 'manly' you are is seriously one of the most fucking stupid things I’ve ever come across. Girls who are attracted to guys who do that are NOT the girls you want in your life.
37. No matter how much you learn and think you know, you know nothing in comparison to the amount of information out there in the universe. Stop yourself from becoming cocky about things like that.
38. Poor people can live happy lives with no problem. Some of the happiest and most content people I’ve ever met in the world are poor slum residents in Cambodia.
39. Never be afraid to do something new. You never know how much you misunderstood something until you do it.
40. Appreciate the beauty of the world around you, I often find I forget how majestic the sky can be.
41. Question everything.
42. No matter how bad your life gets, being alive is still the greatest thing. If your alive its not too late to improve yourself. Suicidal people offend me.
43. You should never care what people think of you. There are millions of people in the world you will find thousands who think the opposite.
44. If you feel your stuck in your life or that where you live is really damaging you and your mental health, move.
45. Make it a goal one day to see the world. Its getting a lot cheaper and a lot easier to do it as time goes on.
46. Just because someone can’t speak English well doesn’t mean they are not smart…
47. Its easy to think your superior than all the other guys in a club when you know the ways of pick up. Just remember it was all based off those guys in the first place you are no super human.
48. Self-help only works if you dedicate yourself 100% you wont achieve that great body or that threesome unless you really put in all you can, be honest with yourself right now are you doing all you could? Or is fear holding you back?
49. Be honest with yourself, is what your studying or what job you have is really what you want? Or did you just pick it because it was a safe choice? Is fear holding you back from being a musician, artist, world known actor? Follow your dreams, a life of poor happiness out does one of misery with money.
