    24 and i have learnt a lot tbh including this



    Women are worse than men. Fact! Sneakier, and a hell of a lot more evil or whatever you call it.

    People lie, about everything, to any extent, another fact.

    Most people are sheep and will follow, the ones who dont are probably bad too but at least their different :pac:

    Ireland is fcuked for jobs for about 20yrs imho

    learn to separate sex and love sometimes

    People want to think things they want to happen, thats it. Mostly you can think your way to making something be true.

    The earlier you learn all these things the better, more time to say to the s*** followers and b****** "yeah yeah thats great, fcuk off" and then just enjoy your life the way you want.

    If its meant to be it will be, thats the most truth ever imho.

    You never know what will happen so try and do as much as you can that you want to each day.

    just be you, if others dont like it then theyre obviously not worth enough to even think that they dont like you.

    never take most things seriously, then you never get hurt, therefore always have fun


    So, what have you learnt so far?

    If the guy at the top of the waterslide tells you you are too heavy for the slide, listen to him, you wont come back to your deck chair leaving a twin trail of blood and bone exposed in your elbows because the shallow pool means you scrape along the bottom

    Fox news is great oft times fiction!
    Scientology's alien background is pure nuts.
    The wife and kids is the greatest thing in my life.
    Never judge a book by its cover.
    There is always at least two sides to every story - and neither might never be the full truth.
    Lego is the best toy ever invented.
    I've been lucky to be born in Ireland.

    Am 26 and learned alot of the things you have, over the recent years. I dont think a person really cops on to things until their early to mid 20s (of course for some much much older :pac:)


    but you make some good points:

    Agree 100%. Especially with the people lie, about everything & I do think women can be more worse than men.

    So, what have you learnt so far?

    Print that out OP and read it again in 10 or 20 years. I think you may have very different views on many. You use the phrase 'learnt' as though it were final whereas you will, hopefully, continue to learn every day for the rest of your life.

    Few things I've learned:

    Never challenge a porcupine to an arse - kicking contest.

    Religion is the biggest load of bollocks ever.

    Some women are absolutely insane.

    Some men of all ages can be extremely immature and childish.

    Your family and friends are the best things you have.

    Its always good to talk & seek advice.

    I think three is the lucky number for me as regards sensation. After that you might as well just go down the gym cos it's just exercise really, plus you are going to end up really lopsided, both in physique (one huge arm, one normal) and in willy direction (unless you swap hands or are quite big indeed, and use the doubled handed fireman hose technique). That last part is a personal reference......just wanted to clear that up, leave no doubts etc.

    It's not what you know it's who you know.

    If you want something done then do it yourself to your standards - you'll be happier for it and avoid disappointment.

    If you want something enough you'll make it yours, you won't give up...the glory is not in never falling but in rising everytime you fall.

    Your parents have lived alot longer than you and therefore have valuable knowledge to pass onto you - take it onboard at the very least.

    What an odd opening post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,254 ✭✭✭Thatnastyboy


    Hmm...

    ive learned (so far) that.. The moon is not made of cheese, Most women dont like the nice guy- but its good to be him anyway, alcohol is amazing and terrible, grass is definitly here for a very good reason, the internet is highly highly addictive, genuinely trying to be a good person is a reward of its own, bigotry is bad, racism is bad, hate is bad, love is good,


    ALSO, If you are confident and cocky enough. You can do pretty much anything- within reason, I have tried to grow wings and sh1t money, but to no avail.. yet


    Life is fun, and if it's not , You're doing it wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,762 ✭✭✭jive


    I've learned that I'm awesome and successful.

    I've also learned that your average human pales in comparison to my greatness.

    I hope this helps you, OP.

    F*ck yeah!! But how come so many people don't get that??? I had to laugh at Ricky Jervais saying that he one time tried to make a suit for himself by lying down on some cloth, drawing around his leg and then cutting the pieces out, intending to sow the pieces together. That was probably a bit naive since he didn't look into ways of doing it, but he said that he never even questioned himself or thought it was impossible. He wanted a suit so he decided to make it himself.
    I can't help but want to do things myself, experience has shown me that so many people are sh!t at what they are paid to do (or what you pay them to do). Having spent time in the construction sector I learned that a whole load of people work to p!ss poor standards, no care or pride at all. Absolutely useless 'tradesmen'. If you have a brain, want to achieve something, have time to learn about it (even at its most basic principle level), you stand a bloody good chance of doing it and doing it well (depending on your effort and standards)

    -Jake LeMotta is 27% of all posters on boards.ie
    -The internet is more fulfilling than real life. I've never been thanked 150 times in a room full of people.
    -Ireland isn't half as bad as people make it out to be, despite the flaws. But nowhere is flawless.
    -I don't fit in a washing machine. Finding that out was costly.
    -Lists are a more effective way to convey your point.
    -I don't actually have any substantial point to make.

    Biggin's house is much nice than mine...when it's not covered in foam.

    No matter how hard you work, you'll rarely receive the recognition you deserve.

    When coding an application, the written requirements from the customer rarely match what they actually wanted.

    Never give too much information about yourself to flatmates, neighbours etc. If they turn out to be psychopaths, they can make your life hell.

    The best skill you can teach a child is self discipline. Everything else will be easier for them once they've mastered that.

    Therapists can be really helpful in some cases.

    Bullies are actually suffering from emotional deficiencies and should be pitied (after giving them a few punches).

    The more senior a manager, the less in touch with reality they are.

    There are not enough emoticons on boards.ie to correct convey emotions, so you have to become better at expressing yourself with words.

    Money does make you happy. Too much money negates that as it looses value.

    Microsoft will never release a perfect, secure, user friendly operating system as it would put them out of business. Learn to live with this.

    Moderation in everything is the key to happiness & good health.

    Kids are like farts...you will like your own, other peoples will sicken you.

    A horse in a bush is worth two in a box.

    Never look a gift box in the eye.

    Beggars are choosy bastards.

    At the end of the day the shops close and people pull their curtains.

    A back seat driver will always crash because he can't reach the pedals.

    If you're barking up the wrong tree you should seek psychiatric care.

    Beauty is in the eye of of a potato.

    Never judge a cover by the rubbish written inside.

    Behind every great man there is a great fridge.

    Call a spade a shovel.

    Children should be herded and not seen.

    I don't really have any myself but,

    Nothing is ever black and white just several shades of grey...
    People are neither good or bad, they're just people.
    Animals taste good.
    If you don't stop to look around once in a while you might miss it.

    Always get to the airport early.

    Don't take life too seriously.
