  • Life Lessons

    What have you guys learned over your life that you think would benefit other people? Pass on some intel that you wish someone told you before you had to learn the hard way.

    Some times being right is the worst possible thing.

    Measure twice, cut once.

    Do things right the first time or you will do them a second time.

    If you skim the foam on top of pasta when cooking it and add it to your sauce it will thicken it.

    People use fear to control situations and people, highly effectively.

    Believe half of what you see and nothing you hear.

    The brain can only concentrate on a single thought at a time.



    I know you guys have some good knowledge and experience since most of you are older than me.

    Of all of the half-assed, asinine threads ever posted on this website...

    Coming to for life advice has got to be the worst. My rules for your life simply don't apply.

    Except #1, which states, "never kiss a girl that isn't your mother or wife." Herpes is an epidemic in everyone's life.

      Don't drink and drive.

      Wear a seatbelt.

      Don't be a fool wrap your tool.


      These three things are paramount.

        If anyone flies a lot and wants extra security for your expensive shit, buy a cheap gun that only fires blanks. Then your luggage gets extra security and has a very slim chance of being lost cause no one wants a missing firearm on the plane.

          Believe in aliens.

          Warship satan.

          Buy snap on.

          And my personal favorite: don't just work hard, work smart.

              You get what you pay for.

              Stop, breathe and think a minute before rushing to a conclusion.

              Never pass up a once in a lifetime opportunity.

              Money isn't everything, quality of life should trump cash.

              Failing is a good thing.

              Smile, laugh, have fun, see the best in people, life is far too short to be angry and hold grudges.

                    The day you realize you dont know everything is the day you start to learn

                    If you forget you have steel wool in your pocket and put a 9v battery in there you will catch fire.

                      Think before you speak

                      Use your head (my grandfather's favorite saying when we did stupid things)

                      Everything happens for a reason

                            If you ever get the feeling you are going to miss out on something in the moment you are probably right and it may haunt you.

                            From my Dad: Money grows back, enjoy your life.

                            Relationships are like a fart, if you have to push too hard its probably shit.

                              My 50 year old assistant I used to have at work told me.

                              "Fuck anything that moves. Until you get married. Then are kinda screwed" (he was talking about women, not ANYTHING)


                              Interesting advise, not sure it is a sound idea, but I thought I would share some of his wisdom.
