Lessons & Other Things (So Far)

The following are Lessons & Other Things (So Far) that I found in an old document while looking for something else. However, I still found them completely relevant. Hopefully some of these serve as reminders to you. Here goes:

  • Too much information can be a bad thing.

  • Hiking is good for you.

  • The sand is beige and the grass is green, and you should have both.

  • Dogs are the best pets on earth.

  • People hide their feelings all the time.

  • Don’t try to save face.

  • Tell the truth and save the hassle.

  • Anything I set up to succeed without me is a good idea.

  • Singing in the car relieves stress.

  • Be kind to people and they’ll be kind to you.

  • Your mom has suffered more than you, because she’s older.

  • Your dad has suffered more than you, because . . . he won’t talk about it.

  • Creating patterns out of randomness is overall a good human trait.

  • Eating your feelings can, in fact, be a form of therapy.

  • Kick your own ass.

  • Once you’re passed the point of being tired, keep going. Just kidding, you tried to rationalize something bad for yourself again.

  • Forward useful emails.
