Birthday Post: Twenty Eight Things I learned In Life



  1. Not all medical operations use anesthetic. Don't depend on it.
  2. Coffee is best black. Hot or cold.
  3. You can’t live your life alone, even when you live alone. People should be involved with people.
  4. Enough sleep, at the right time, prevents future illnesses. It's the body's healing time. Make time for it.
  5. You can be productive the whole day, but still have doubts the same night. #writinglife
  6. Acceptance makes life easier. Some fights are not worth the time and effort.
  7. What true love is:

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls
.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music…
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
—Kahlil Gibran

  1. Be happy without a lover and you’ll be even happier when you find one. 
  2. Family is forever. Blood-related or not.
  3. Change is inevitable. Take advantage of it. Use it to be better.
  4. Have a facial regimen even if you suck at routines. Take care of your skin not for vanity but for health.
  5. Love doesn’t give a shit who you love. Repeat.
  6. The world becomes a little better with a 'thank you'. 'Sorry' works, too, if said ASAP.
  7. Delicious food is delicious even when cold. Yes, you're desperately lazy.
  8. Grades are not everything, but they are something. For job hunting, mostly.
  9. List things. Just so you can reduce mind stress.
  10. Everything starts with imitation. While you slowly find your own.
  11. Have at least one person you can count on. Take care of that person.
  12. Life is a gamble.
  13. Don't sell yourself cheap. Value your hard-earned skills.
  14. Ask for help. Just don't abuse it.
  15. Not all praises are sincere. Not all criticisms are hate.
  16. Water is life. Have more of it.
  17. Experience is the best teacher. Try everything at least once.
  18. Sometimes, peace of mind is better than justice. Life is precious. Live it to the fullest.
  19. Do not trust easily. Even yourself.
  20. Things happen for a reason and there’s always something in it to be grateful for.
  21. Focus is better than multi-tasking.
