There are somethings we don't catch up with quicky, we only get to understand after a while. A little late behind others.

As for me, I didn't quickly realize That other people don’t care what you think. They’re more worried about themselves, and you aren’t the first thing on their priority list. This could’ve saved so many headaches if I knew this years ago.

1).Relationships aren’t built on love alone. You have to put the effort in as far as the little things are concerned. Also, arguing too often about the little things can be a sign that something bigger is wrong.

2) Being smart isn’t good enough. Hard work is way more importan

3) How to set boundaries. It took my best friend of 8 years to reveal himself to be a total assh*le (rather, he was always an assh*le but I kept making excuses for him). I realized that I let him do all of these things and trample all over me before I decided that it was enough. I genuinely think this is something that I always understood but never had the confidence to stand up to. It really came down to the realization that its okay to put myself first and that I don’t owe anything to anyone.

4) you let people take advantage of you they will. As a compulsive pleaser who believed power games shouldn’t creep into close relationships, I am realizing that all my ‘principles’ are basically either a cover for my lack of courage or ideas that will let people walk all over me.

These are people experiences, share yours ...

The only the only person that got your back is YOU.. you are your best friend,

Trust your instincts-When something doesnt feel right, usually something is wrong.

Learn from the wisdom and mistakes and others so you dont suffer the pain and loss they experienced.

Dont throw away the old bucket til you are sure the new one holds water.

don't be nice to people that are not nice to u

5. You don’t need to recreate your parent’s standard of living at 22. I need to constantly remind myself of this. 22 with a ton of ambition but without a defined plan of action or pathway. I have to remind myself that this is normal.


6. The importance of saving for emergency, always believed that I could die anytime so I should always take care of myself to the fullest. Well I'm not dead yet and my savings would have been useful in case of emergency.

That I should not have put all my eggs in one basket. Should have diversified my income sources right from secondary school days

Before you start living your life, before you start living away form your parents, going for your own business or anything. make sure you have gone through Self Improvement..

Only your parents wants you too succeed with no strings attached...every other person would feel a sense of entitlement along the way.

. Thats quite deep, what happened?

Everybody is gonna die one day. Take risks and avoid excuses

never trust a woman because if you do she can pull the plug anytime.
never trust those close to you because when they want to destroy you, they show no mercy.

you only know your value to a woman how she treats or deals with you when she is angry with you.

Dominique I hope its not too late for this topic to make FP.
