1) Life isn't fair. I know it's cliche, but these 4 simple words contain so much in them that rings true to so many places and situations you'll be in life. Accept it. 2) The contrast to that is that nobody has it all. Especially every person you perceive as having enjoyed the 'life isn't fair' side of the equation. 3) Most of what you are taught, told, believe, spew (by thought fashion) will more than likely not wit…

"Life is not fair" is a sentence containing four words.
2.) Invest, DYOR and DCA
3.) Learn more foreign languages
1. You don’t know everything. Even if you disagree listen to colleagues that have more experience and try to understand their perspective of why they think a certain way.
2. I wasn’t as mature as I thought I was. I was actually fairly selfish and it wasn’t until I had kids that I realised true selflessness and putting others first. Along the same lines: pre-kids you don’t realise how much spare time you actually have all to yourself.

Time doing things that make you truly happy is not wasted time. H.r. is not on your side, ever. Promises of future compensation or promotion are meaningless. Spend more time outdoors. Learn a hobby or skill that doesn't involve a screen. Your health isn't worth what they're paying. A businesses relationship is just that and nothing more.
> Dear fellow men Why limit hard-lessons-learned to men? Woman wont have any lessons you could learn from? 1) you can't make someone happy; that's on them. 2) find what (re)charges you and make time for it. 3) transitions in our society (thinking US) are not given the proper ceremony/reflection.

Bonus 4) in a relationship, you can be right or happy.
Hardest lesson I learned is that most people have no clue what they’re talking about. Especially with regards to life advice. If someone is pushing you hard in one direction, but you think it’s a mistake, it probably is. I’m speaking generally here, someone who has been writing Java for ten years, probably knows Java. But life advice wise, be very careful. Jealousy, arrogance, success bias etc heavily influence peopl…
Idiots are full of confidence, I lived that out.
2. Even if you think you're smart, you would have limited financial literacy.
3. Never compare yourself with others. Different people have different paths. Some people make it early, some people make it late.
