Don't assume that how other people are reacting is all about you. We tend to think that the world revolves around us but it doesn't. How people react usually is almost completely to do with them. The world will have a lot less drama if we don't take everything personally.
Is this about me?
You got me .
Should have qualified that to say "don't assume the world revolves around you unless you're SD, in which case it does", and justifiably so.

Be honest, never back down from stating the truth regardless of the condemnation from others.
Truth is relative. Everyone has her/his own truth.
Facts, however, as a great Masshole once said, "are stubborn things."
I can state a fact and never back down because a fact is a fact is a fact. There is no disputing it.
I can state a truth and never back down, but then I just seem like a smug fuck (see Donald Trump for some, perhaps Bernie Sanders for others) because it's merely my truth. And the person from whom I'm receiving condemnation has every right to condemn me because they have their own truth that might feel under fire from my unbending and at-arms self-righteousness.
I didn't say to never back down, I said don't be afraid to state a truth, because others will condemn. Every person should feel that freedom. I guess some just feel better saying that by doing that you are being , not really a surprising statement to hear around here though I guess. Some people just can't help supporting the idea that others shouldn't get to have their say because the don't want to hear it or it isn't their truth.
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

My lab nurse just told me this yesterday because my test was a gusher and stained my jeans.
It will act like bleach if you leave it on for a long time. Pour some on right before laundering. Let it sit for 5 minutes or so and then toss into the washer.
don't fry bacon with your teeth, also, if you have a 2 or 3 year old that says stuff (going upwards until about 10 or 13 when they stop talking) WRITE THOSE AMAZING LITTLE QUOTES DOWN immediately....

This is good advice. My wife has some sort of journal where she does this with your youngest. She's 8 now and when you read some of the things she did when she was 2, 3, 4, it is pretty amazing and hysterical.
Spend more time outdoors. Grow something. Anything. Spend less money so you can worry less about work...hell, work less. Embrace the small tasks like cooking, cleaning and repairs as a chance to have a tangible effect in life, particularly for office workers who don't do tangible work.
Grate your own cheese. Shredded cheese in a bag is a travesty.

I have had some good times in Kensington Market, so I'm with you there, at least.
Edit: I think I missed the easy transition through men, as well.

I started doing this about two years ago. Tastes better, stays fresh longer, and it's often cheaper. And if you want a slice to melt on a sandwich, you can cut a slice. Saves space in your fridge as one block of cheese replaces your bags of shredded and your Kraft singles (which aren't even real cheese anyway).

Don't roll your eyes at me, you cranky old man! (I know you're younger than I, but not by much). Do I really need to go out there and give you a big ol' hug? You know you're just asking for it!

Quite the contrary: Most of the items on this list are basically common courtesy, and I'm a raised right man.
The tag for the eye-rolling guy is "weary," which is what I am if the state of things now is such that these are now considered life lessons that should be passed on. Everyone should know and practice this stuff at every opportunity.
Although I will say I am often guilty of not holding the elevator door at yabba-dabba-doo time, but I'll hold it all morning if I'm on my way up to work.

See? I knew you could do it! Unfortunately these things aren't very common anymore. Many people are self-centered jerks these days. Sad but true.
To our younger members...If you aren't wealthy, go to a JUCO after high school and then transfer. People only care about the school from which you graduated. Don't waste a 100k in student loans for the first two years.
Go straight to a 4 yr college/university. Learn inside and outside the classroom. Its worth it & a JUCO won't provide you with the same experiences & won't prepare you for the MAJOR differences in academic rigor when you transfer.

I disagree. The 50+k difference is not worth it if you need to build debt to get there. When you hire someone, no one cares about your GPA. It only matters your degree and the university.

My advice:
If you have the opportunity to have the greatest night of your lift, it is your responsibility to make it happen.
If you struggle in highschool or university, fucking do the practice problems, re-write your notes after each class and then repeat step one.
If a good guy or girl comes along your way, give him or her a chance. Don't lose the good ones.
Start saving as early as possible (IRA, 401k's, RRSP's, TFSA's or whatever savings tools are available in your country)
Pay off your highest interest rate debts FIRST.
Invite people over to your house for games nights. Surprising the chemistry that can blossom from these.
Don't be stupid.
Learn the guitar. Really learn it.
