*things in parenthesis are what I added.
You can’t change other people, and it’s rude to try. (Mostly rude to yourself) It is a hundred times more difficult to burn calories than to refrain from consuming them in the first place. Yelling always makes things worse. (ALWAYS) If you never doubt your beliefs, then you’re wrong a lot. Whenever you hate something, it hates you back: people, situations and inanimate objects alike. Whenever you’re worried about what others will think of you, you’re really just worried about what you’ll think of you. (Which is still scary. So find the tools to forgive and accept yourself!) Anger reveals weakness of character, violence even moreso. (or rather, what you do with anger that reveals so much about your character or: how I know that my dad might be the perfect man) Humans cannot destroy the planet, but we can destroy its capacity to keep us alive. And we are. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least. Putting something off makes it instantly harder and scarier. Everyone you meet is better than you at something. What makes human beings different from animals is that animals can be themselves with ease. Blame is the favorite pastime of those who dislike responsibility. High quality is worth any quantity, in possessions, friends and experiences. If you aren’t happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship. Posture and dress change profoundly how you feel about yourself and how others feel about you, like it or not. Kids will usually understand exactly what you mean if you keep it to one or two short sentences. Problems, when they arise, are rarely as painful as the experience of fearing them. There are not enough women in positions of power. The world has suffered from this deficit for a long time. You can’t hide a bad mood from people who know you well, but you can always be polite. The fewer possessions you have, the more they do for you. Einstein was wiser than he was intelligent, and he was a genius. (and when you're both... man ♥) Wishing things were different is a great way to torture yourself. The ability to be happy is nothing other than the ability to come to terms with how things change. Killing time is an atrocity. It’s priceless, and it never grows back.
