Am I Wise? No...

Five Pieces of Alleged Wisdom You Would Like to Share

1. Don't put off things you've always wanted to do (eg. taking up a new dance class, going backpacking, climbing a mountain, etc) because of excuses like not having enough time/money or you can't find someone to accompany you, etc etc. Where there is a will, there's a way, and if you don't do it now, you may end up never doing it at all. Plus, you don't know what you'll miss if you didn't...

2. (Hmm, I'm not feeling very wise atm...) Before acting on negative feelings, calm yourself, and reflect on the consequences of the action you want to take. If you can't think, try to purge yourself of the negativity without affecting others. Most of the time, that's the best way to go.

3. Don't let other people tell you how to live your life. Take responsibility for your actions and choices, because at the end of it, no matter who you blame, you have to live with what you did/chose.

4. Don't worry too much about what other people say about you. You can't please everyone.

5. Always remember to make time for the people you love.
