Important Lessons in Life

• You are responsible for your own happiness, not other people.

• Is your job your passion? Well done. If it isn't, it's also okay. You can still be happy.

• Of all things you can learn in college, here are the two most important lessons for career success: how not to be a prick, and public speaking.

• Your body is your life. If your body is not fit and healthy, you don't have a life. Spend money and time for health.

• Don't be selfish douche. But also don't worry too much about other people's opinion. Find balance. 

• Read. You will be smarter, and you can engage in conversations. And probably get laid too.

• Don't be religious. Be spiritual. Know the difference.

• Respect science. Your life depends on it.

• Be nice and courteous to all people. Say thank you and smile to waiters, store staffs, anyone who helps you.

• Invest in quality friends, not superficial acquaintances.

• If it is only 3 stories, take the stairs, not elevator.

• Occasionally, do charity/volunteer work. Not to get rewards in heaven, but to share your blessing. Give because you have received, not because you expect something.

• Be nice to your parents, lest you regret it when they are gone.

• You will break someone's heart, and yours by someone else. That's a fact of life. Suck it up.

• Don't be too serious. We are all dead someday.

• If you think someone you meet look nice today, say it so. You may just make someone's day.

• Don't overeat. Cut sugar.

• Don't bully people. In real life or online.

• Karma has a powerful weapon. It's called social media.

• Often times shit happens. Just random. Not because of what you did in the past, or gods hate you. Life has a lot of randomness. Acknowledge it.

• Often time luck happens. Just random. Not because of what you did in the past, or gods love you. Life has a lot of randomness. Acknowledge it. Stay humble.

Found it so randomly when reading Henry Manampiring ask.fm and I post it here as a reminder for myself
