If you had to sum up what your experience has taught you and then pass that wisdom on to another person, what would you say? What have you learned living the life you have?

The world is a vampire: it sucks.
Sorry Zoomers, but now that you're entering the workforce, prepare to earn pennies on the dollar and spend it all on a tiny apartment as your bills pile up and your Boomer relatives nag you about not having enough kids or how you should be able to pay for a mortgage with a minimum wage job like they did in 1970 when inflation wasn't a thing.

Find a job that fulfills you. If you can't, find something satisfying in the work you have. Life is generally tedious, so don't be worried about boredom.

Never jump headfirst into any big purchases, whether it be a new TV, an apartment, or a car. especially something that will take more than a few months payments. Always try and keep an emergency amount of money so you can handle any unexpected emergencies.
Always vet any roommates you might be moving in with. Sure, they seem decent when you are hanging out with them, but they might be the worst possible person to live with.

No one is going to help you
If you want anything in life, you need to work for it, because no one is going to give you what you want. Be the person who has the power to lift others up. Find a passion in life and dedicate everything to it, even if you have to forego a paycheck to do it. And if you work hard enough, you can pretty much achieve any goal you want in life.

I only get dumber as time goes on. The only wisdom that comes with age is knowing that, and pain.

Vanity of vanities all is vanity and vexation of the spirit, and their is nothing new under the sun; Fear God and keep his commandments for God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing whether it be good or whether it be evil.
TRUST NO ONE! You can count on no one but YOURSELF. Improve your skills,harden your body, become a NUMBER ONE MAN! Do not ever let ANYONE beat you.

Don't judge by education, I know high school dropouts who get to hire college graduates because they happen to be great business men
Don't rely on a person too much in a relationship, basically everything loses its shine but enjoy it while it lasts
If something seems impossible, wait and see who tells you it's impossible, they probably just failed - if it's been done before, it can be done again by you and if it hasn't been done, you may be on to creating a path that others want to walk later on
Be comfortable with the thought of death, having lived through 3 near death experiences myself I found that I can enjoy life much more when I don't have to worry about what my end will be like
Appreciate simple things, everything you buy, you chase, or you desire is just an update from something that already exists

It's written below my name.
Be harder on yourself than you are on other people. Don't be afraid to ask for and accept help. Don't listen to the faggots who say nobody will help you; they're probably socially maladjusted spergs who repel everyone around them.
We are all, in one way or another, fucked up. Perfection is a trick of the light. Life isn't a perfect place. Each of us is scared, unsure, full of regret, longing and error. No one is normal: the only people we can think of as normal are those we don’t yet know very well.
College is a scam
Minimalism is the way to go
Keep a low profile in life
Decent people exist in small numbers
People tend to be predictable so don't be surprised by their flaws
Be better than your past self
Test out your faith and act on what you believe
Develop good sleeping habits, punctuality and a less sedentary lifestyle as soon as you can
Don't delay getting medical health
Pets, earbuds and a good friend greatly improve life
Learn how to cook, clean, budget, sew and speak a different language

- Don't live vicariously through the Internet
- Good people are very rare; cherish them if that's possible
- Don't focus too much on the past
- Hedonism is a cancer to the mind and body
- Don't be something you're not
- Developing Willpower is extremely valuable skill

Cut toxic people from your life. I don't mean Tumblr's definition of toxic where they're just slightly annoying, I mean in the way where being around them and thinking about them is genuinely mentally, emotionally and sometimes even physically draining. Loyalty is always an excellent trait to have, but blind loyalty is not. Do not chain yourself to a person or a group of people when they have all but irreversibly turned out for the absolute worst because of who they used to be when the good times were around or because you're afraid you'll never get any more friends/romantic partners like them again. By that point, the people you once knew and were friends with are long dead and gone forever, there are plenty of people out there you can be friends/partners with if you just look and in a matter of time, you'll come to be angry and disappointed in yourself for investing so much time and energy with the ones you had to leave behind the longer you stay chained to them, so wise up and cut the shitfucks out of you life so you yourself can improve
Don't take anything on the internet seriously. Unless someone actually tracks down your IP/physical address and starts threatening your family/friends. Otherwise getting mad over someone who you will most likely never meet face to face that has no effect on your life is extremely redundant. Call them a fag and move on.
DO NOT replace your social interactions with the internet. The internet should be used to supplement a already existing social life. However it is better than nothing if you are at a low point in life.
Always look to improve something. I don't care what it is, as long as its something other than getting achievements in vidya. Learn something, cook something new, talk to someone new, workout, improve your looks etc. Do not get stuck in a rut where the only thing you do is eat, work, and sleep. If you do at the very least try to change something to make you a better person every day. "Rome wasn't built in a day" is a valid saying to me.
Learn to trust people. Yes people will try to manipulate you, or act like some sort of asshole to climb over you, but most people aren't like that or are worried that's what you're doing to them. Keep healthy suspicions.
Your body should be treated better than any temple. To fall to some vices like occasional drug use (i'm talking minor shit like cigs and alcohol) is human, but for the love of god please at least go for a fucking walk. Especially if you are already unhealthy. Eat better, even if you add just a couple of servings of fruits to your diet.
Relationships, even if they seem like they are going well sometimes don't work out. This is true from family to romantic. But especially for romantic do not think that person is the only one with the capacity to love and "complete" you.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away, and you have their shoes.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Whenever you begin to think that nobody cares that you exist, try missing a couple of payments.
Experience is something you gain after you needed it, so what's the point?
If you loan someone $20, and you never see or hear from them again, it was probably worth it.
