Life is what you make it, good things happen to good people.
Good things happen to people with good attitudes. Bad things happen to people with bad attitudes. It was the same thing.
People with Good Attitudes perceive most things happening to them as "Good Things".
People with Bad Attitudes perceive most things happening to them as "Bad Things".
"righty tighty lefty loosey" is context-specific. The few drinks I've had from Japan opened the other way. Also pressure regulators for flammable gasses.
Believe half of what you read and none of what you hear. I heard this very young but consistently fail to put it into practice. Gotten a little better over time, though.
The immaculate conception was (according to catholic doctrine) the conception of Mary, not Jesus.
When somebody invites you to an argument, you are not obligated to accept.
[Tongue map](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_map) is total nonsense, although we do have different flavor receptors (like rods and cones for the retina) they're all spread out everywhere.

to defend my crazy rambling at least a bit, in german bell peppers and the spice made from them are both called ‘Paprika’ which, as a native speaker, could be where this sense of “this feels wrong” stems for me.
I've learnt that it's OK not to succeed on the first try. It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. As long as you're getting closer to your goal, you're on the right track. But you don't usually get there right away. I used to give up as soon as I failed.
A study of mental techniques from martial arts texts even if one does not necessarily practice martial arts (though the practice makes understanding quicker) would be very helpful in developing attitudes/behaviour to build up our fortitude in the face of adversity.
Opossums can grunt like pigs. I thought I had a pig living in my yard, because I heard grunts and squeaks (babies) passing by under my window one summer morning. Got a trailcam and it's a possum. If you collect knives you will cut yourself more often, even if you are good at handling knives. The big-picture reason "more knives, more cuts" makes sense. But how does that work out in the little picture? This is due to s…

Please, elaborate

hard disagree. Mistyped a name? with classes you get an error on compile time. Dictionaries? only on runtime. plus, you won't need to remember every field because your editor can autocomplete it for you

No. I will rephrase them as; People with Good Attitudes perceive most things happening to them as "Good Things". People with Bad Attitudes perceive most things happening to them as "Bad Things".

Perception is reality
In as much as there is a Reality outside of the Perceiver, distinct and separate, he would need to adjust his perception in order to avoid cognitive dissonance and live in the "real world".
