Things you wish you knew earlier

    Wish I knew all this when I was younger.

    1. If you can do something now but you say you'll do it later, you won't do it. Do it now!

    2. If you are learning a skill (playing guitar etc) you will learn faster and do it better if you do it with other people. It's much harder to learn a skill from books/DVDs

    3.. Honesty is seriously important. If you have a problem with someone you have to say it without being judgemental. You'll feel better. However cheesy this is, the truth will set you free.

    4. Trying to be friends with a girl you like is really really not easy.

    5. 'Let's go to Supermacs' works much better than 'do you wanna go to supermacs?'.

    6. Travelling is good for the soul.

    7. Being a man is not about proving yourself. It's about handling situations. argh this one is important but I can't find the words

    8. If you want a job that you won't hate, go into an interview and talk to the interviewer like he's your friend. If he gets on with you he's more likely to hire you. Also lie your ass off in interviews.

    If it walks like a bitch, talks like a bitch, acts like a bitch, looks like a bitch and everyone else thinks she's a bitch, she's a bitch.

    Also careful on the zip-up.

    .

    Now that i totally agree with! Dont give someone a choice then they are not going to want to go somewhere else - brilliant!

    I wish i had remembered that eating chocolate gave me a pain before i ate that Snack bar a few minutes ago!

    It was the depressing rain that made me eat it!! :mad:

    You cannot wholly trust people you work with
    Your job is just a job not a Life
    You have the power to let work control you or you control work
    There is nothing more important in life than Family

    Never thought of that.... DAMN YOU!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,762 ✭✭✭turgon


    Never take it for granted that you really know the people that you think you do. You are alot all the time on a different wavelength.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,753 ✭✭✭fitz0


    Just because you think you're being discreet, doesnt mean you are.

    Trying to appear sober in fact makes you look more drunk


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 259 ✭✭life_is_music


    this thread was definately inspired by this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-rjbuYTSaU

    don't ever get absolutely ****faced when everyone else is sipping their drinks....

    never leave anything until it's too late

    I wish I had learned how to talk to women properly, I'm 23 now and have just figured it out!!

    use milk - its contents kill the mint. After a wash of milk you can drink orange juice with no manky taste :]


    Dont respect anyone who doesn't respect you.
    - i thought i lived by this until i realized i was a bit of a walkover.. NO MORE!

    Always roll off to the dry patch

    That our elders aren't always right

    That when a boy says he fancies you, he really just wants to get into your knickers :p


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Why? Is there beer in there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,308 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    ...that the girl I'd end up getting engaged to would end up being a cruel, selfish, borderline sociopathic, ignorant and heartless user of the highest order.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Aw Bard, she must have ****ed you over big time. Chin up lad!
