What are some facts of life you've learned?
Fact of life: If you do something just for money, you'll be completely miserable
Fact of life: Trying to sleep right away in a room with multiple teenage boys is impossible
Fact of life: Finding and taking an online course is the smart way to do college (I just found one I'll take, it's actually a new program, haven't taken it yet)
Fact of life: Political ranters are annoying. "Look I get it, I just don't need to hear about it every single day."
Fact of life: People literally argue over everything imaginable.
Fact of life: If you ask out a girl, her saying no is actually not the worst thing that can happen.

If there existed one absolute fact that I've learned over the past few years (even though I am still quite young), it would be that you'll only be able to grow as a person if you are a life long learner in every aspect.

You will make mistakes; learn something from each one. The true measure of love is how much you're willing to sacrifice. Every minute spent talking is time spent not learning.

What are some facts of life you've learned? *Integrity - Merriam Webster: firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : INCORRUPTIBILITY. Be a man. Be a man of your word. Never make a promise you can't keep and fulfill if possible every promise made. If someone tells you something in confidence, take it to the grave. Never hit a woman; you can always walk away. Never hit a child ( proper discipline in a proper manner is different ). Don't be a thief and don't be a liar. Never tell tall tales - even if they're true - because no one is going to believe you. I never do drugs. Know how to man-up and say no. I started smoking ( regularly ) at 13 years old. I quit at the age of 42 ( because of the high cost ). I drink beer but never allow myself to overdo. Don't drink alcohol unless you can control it and it not you. I will have a social drink ( hard alcohol ) but never go past the second drink. Important for a man; personal pride and self control. Integrity; do the right thing even when no one is watching. If you're married, especially with children, be ready to sacrifice often for them. *Edit and add: Way too many young men these days who refuse to get a job and earn their way. Freeloaders. They disgust me. When I see help wanted signs posted everywhere, and these boys say "I can't find a job", my advice... join the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Coast Guard, or - if you're half the man you brag about being - join the United States Marines. ( I worked for 44 years - that including 6 years active military duty. What money I receive is all earned ).

Lmao, well maybe. But what i have learned over the years is that if you insist enough, a "no" can become a "yes" sooner than later.
