    Falling asleep after a night out with contacts in is not a good idea.

    Love hurts & if you are stupid enough to go back again it hurts more.

    Love isn't always enough.

    You can't save/fix/help an alcohic.

    If you don't get it in writing, it doesn't count.

    Sometimes what seems like the worst thing in the moment, is the best thing in time.

    Smoosing and asskissing will get you further than hard work and ability.

    Life is too short for regrets.

    Gut instinct is nearly always right.

    Always check the detail when booking your Ryanair flight, loads of times I skipped the travel insurance part as they used to expertly and conveniently hide it. Not any more. :D:)

    Don't ever get yourself into unnecessary debt. E.G. A 5K car will do just fine instead of a new one.

    Cut toxic people out of your life or minimize contact.

    Easier said than done, debt is generally required for some of the most critical of human needs

    Much easier for a single person not to fall into the mortgage trap along other things.

    But instead of buying a 30K car just get a 5K car etc.

    Most people tend not to stay single, and tend to want kids, debt can get messy for them, I am glad I'm not in that position either

    I meant that to the employer looking at you, you are only a number.

    Your way works too

    Credit cards are evil.

    There is an exchange in every relationship. Just as you want something, so too do other people.

    Few people are actually thinking about you, or your behavior for longer than 5 seconds. Don't give up on something because of what you assume other people think.

    Most people don't want complete honesty from you.

    Politics is a game that you don't want to be involved in.

    People are often very stupid. Don't assume they're more intelligent until they prove it to be so. Also intelligence in one area doesn't mean intelligence in every area.

    Other people's lives are probably more ****ed than yours.

    Love means something different to everyone. And good sex is generally not love. And lot's of sex gets boring after a while. :D

    life is what you make of it. Reacting to life is incredibly inefficient. Taking control of your future leads to happiness.

    Oh. Ireland is not the whole world. You can be much happier outside it. (took me three decades to realise this little nugget)
