Day Five: Six important "life lessons" you hold true.

[apple_pathways]

I don't know how qualified I am to give "life lessons", and sincerity does not always come easily. (Sarcasm, on the other hand...)

I'm going to hand the job over to Dave Barry, who said it first and said it funnier. (Taken from his list of "25 Things I Learned in 50 Years", this is my top 6.)

1. "A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person."
   
2. "No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously."
   
3. "When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy."
   
4. "People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them."
   
5. "Your friends love you anyway."
   
6. "Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance."

I heartily endorse all of these but especially number 6.

My own personal corrollary to that one would be: "Always assume they're laughing with you, 'cause they probably are, and fuck 'em if they're not." ;)
