To be happy, the best place to start is by making someone else happy .

You can't put an old head on young shoulders and wisdom comes with age. My sixteen year old is raising my awareness of this fact almost daily. Headwrecker.

Life is too short for regrets.

It takes too much energy to hate someone - forget and move on.

I think it would take far more energy to forgive and forget than to hate, if hate is how you naturally feel towards someone (particularly if they have done something atrocious to you, like abuse). You're right it is not advisable to let it consume you and to try and move on from it, but can't be easy.

I agree life is too short for regrets.

Back To The Future trilogy tie-breaks with The Godfather trilogy (shyte part III but the first two make up for it) IMO.

No matter where you go you take yourself with you

If you're an unhappy soul who is constantly negative well moving to Canada or Australia or a new job or relationship or whatever isn't going to magically change you

I don't mean forgive - block them out of your life and forget them. If you hate someone they still have a hold over you.


I'm not bitter, honestly.

Yea that one I'd buy alright. People like attractive people.

That its hard, nigh impossible, to win an argument with a woman.

It's really not. It depends on the intelligence of the person involved. If they're less clever than you it's easy, if they're not, you're boned. Gender not applicable. Unless you're predicating the argument on the basis of "oh if I say the wrong thing she won't shag me later/again/ever[delete as applicable]". Remove your penis from the fray and your argument will rise or fall on it's merits.

That 4 year olds will always be the funniest people on earth.

Woody Allen at his stand up best would beg to differ.

That Back To The Future is the greatest trilogy of all time.

Best served cold though. It you react while emotions are still running high you just come across as borderline psychotic. Let the dust settle and allow the other person to think you have forgotten. You can execute your revenge then with a clinical coldness.

I may need to retract my statement about hating someone!

Although it may seem only a harmless bit of fun at the time but having a fling with someone will only cause trouble for your marriage.
There is the initial guilt.
The paronia of will the girl tell your missus.
Then the remourse.
Then feeling of shame and dirtyness.
Sometimes the desire to do it again.
Next the OH thinks there is something wrong and starts doing it more often.
Next you have two chicks you are doing it with until KABOOM your head gets so wrecked you just have to get away from it all and just stay in and watch football all the time.

1. - In the case of strangers and the general public your initial instinctive shallow paranoia, negative outlook, mistrust and cynicism were infact right. Imagine that. Yes TV lied to you.


2. - Relationships (for men) - Glenda Gilson and that hairy little rich fcker. Hugh Hefner. End.

On their deathbed nobody wishes they spent more time in the office

Well I'm a young 'un but have seen far too many co workers made redundant and all those late evening unpaid and working through lunches didn't save them.

Or get ignored at promotion time.

Working free overtime in an office if you are not the owner or top brass getting a bonus is a suckers game.

Why promote someone or pay them more when they are willing to do it for free - I don't understand why more people don't realise this. Do what you're paid to do and go home.

Of course.

And also in the target of your boss should he be forced to make redundancies

There's two trains of thought: never be too good that you don't get promoted and never be replaceable. It really boils down to the kind of boss you have
