While playing in a local poker league, someone once very casually told me; 'It doesn't matter if you keep getting dealt cards. If you play the players right, you'll never have to use your hand.'
He probably didn't realize what a profound thing he'd just said. |

| You can not change someone. Only women and Lira believe they can. :p |

| The way I see it, if you have to change someone to like them, why the get involved in the first place? |

I think you're a closet narcissist, Lira. :p
For the most part I've always kind of figured out on my own, never really needing much advice. However, the best/most life changing "advice" I've ever gotten has always been other people's perspectives of my behaviour/personality. Growth, change, yaddayadda. |

My advice would go along the lines of:
ing get on with it.
(quite honestly I think this multiple times everyday) |

Nike.
ing get on with it. |

Just do it. Doesn't have the same motivational impetus. :p
But yeah:
ing get on with it.

No-one else really gives a about you. |

That's a funny definition. Am I too humble to be a narcissist or something? :D
Just kidding, but why do you think that? I do know I sometimes come off as pretentious, though people often get past that impression after they know me for a while. Maybe I'm a bit more confident now than I used to be, even if I'm still harsh at myself... but I wonder why you say that :) |

I apply the same logic beyond accidents, towards things like crime. Some people get mugged or broken into and they blame criminals, and humanity for producing criminals and the grand concepts of greed and sin. I accept that crime exists in an imperfect world and that it's your responsibility to avoid it. If you get mugged or raped or whatever it's almost always because you've ed up in some way. |
That is the most ignorant thing I have ever hear, and without exaggeration. Your telling me that a woman who gets raped during a break-in or someone who gets shot in a drive-by should have done something to avoid it? How about the people in the WTC; was it their RESPONSIBILITY to avoid the situation, and HOW could they " up in some way" to deserve it? Obviously you have not applied your fathers advice in the way he meant it to be received. |
