    What are some lessons about life that you learned the hard way?

    For me it was life is unfair and that's when I got relentlessly bullied in first year. Decided to fight back and push my bully till he fell over. Both of us got in trouble and my parents were giving out to me. Such bull****. Also learned when you think the you have it bad, life can stomp on you and make things 10x harder.

    Don’t answer back to your parents. No matter what age you are! Sometimes the look back is worse than the back hand.

    When your mother says "Don't be getting me anything" before her birthday or Christmas, she doesn't mean it!

    Be careful who you trust - some people are just not trustworthy.

    Ultimately, trust NO ONE.
    A trusting person is often mistaken for a fool, and everyone is out for themselves

    That a person who's too into you at the beginning of a relationship is just acting and as soon as they have you reeled in they can make your life hell, while still putting on a front for the outside world that they're the perfect partner.

    Let it be.
    I am not getting involved.
    Walk away.
    And a reply-"I don't have an opinion on that".

    Heard Dawn French say that as she ages she realised she doesn't have to put up with other people's crap. Lesson for all ages - just don't indulge drama.

    The entire banking system is corrupt, has led to people dieing (suicide or health stress- I’ve seen this first hand) , destroys families and is protected more then it’s Customers by the regulator. The fact that state money was used to bail it out protects it to a large degree as some people interpret this as “their money” so don’t care how banks act once it gets its money and makes money from customers.

    But like the church scandals, we all bury our heads and leave banks to do what it wants cause we all have a vested interest to not really look closely at the banking system. Banks can do things that normal people end up in prison. It’s one of the many “do as we say not as we do” anomalies from the powers that be in western democracy’s.

    I sense there is a profound pain behind those words. I too have known this pain brother. ‘Tis the curse of the regally endowed.

    Also, don’t loan money to people and then act all shocked when they never give it back.

    Never accept a counter offer in the workplace unless you're deliberately trying to call their bluff.

    • Your plans are nonsense
    • You're wrong, in part or in whole, about 80% of the time
    • Most people are liars, who are concerned only with their position, rather than fact
    • Most people in authority haven't a clue what they're doing and just muddle through, hoping for the best, or they just don't care
    • There's really no such thing as an expert

    That other people desperately want to see you doing worse than them, behaving worse than them, and having less than them. And they will try to tear you down.

    That people who say that someone else "will do anything for you if you need help" will abuse your kindness.

    That anyone who isn't an idiot is potentially malicious, and cannot be trusted.

    That anyone who isn't malicious is potentially an idiot, and cannot be trusted.

    That anyone who hasn't been in your shoes is blaming you for everything wrong in your life.

    That you should never admit to being poor in a social situation, or being a woman on the internet.
