25 More Things I’ve Learned in Life So Far: Wisdumb For the Ages
by Karen Z. unless otherwise noted.
26. Always shake the ketchup bottle.
27. The following things should always be able to kick your ass: ginger, whiskey, love and coffee. If they’re not, they’re not strong enough.
28. Low-hanging fruit is for the lazy and cowardly. Within challenges, risks and uncertainties lay the best rewards.
29. I am no low-hanging fruit.
30. “A man’s character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.” – Mark Twain
31. Never underestimate your brain’s knack for overestimating your significance in the grand scheme of things.
32. Hold the door.
33. Learn CPR, if not for the skills set than for the superhero fantasies it’ll help inspire.
34. There’s nothing more unattractive than a liar.
35. Critical thought, the most important cognitive skill, is a gift.
36. Feel stupid, inadequate, lonely, ugly, useless, worried, uncomfortable. Keep feeling…
37. Always give money to the subway Mariachi bands.
38. You are the only governable variable in every situation you experience. Experiment with that.
39. Have a happiness plan for emergencies: a playlist of songs that help you to smile, movies that reaffirm and friends who let you purge all the horrid details. Conversations with those age 7 and under also helps greatly.
40. Few things match the exhilaration of conversing with someone who truly and wholly understands you. It’s the sex of friendship.
41. What he said.
42. Emotional intelligence is the most valuable asset one can possess.
43. Rick Blaine over Victor Laszlo. Rhett Butler over Ashley Wilkes.
44. The heart, like the belly, must be fed regularly. It acts quite irrationally when hungry.
45. Organize time through photographs.
46. Listen to your fortunes from cookies and your tea bag tags.
47. Run errands during the Superbowl.
48. Blessed are the introverted, for the strength they gain from the battles endured in a hostile environment, dominated by extraversion.
49. Don’t get rid of your witty t-shirts and band shirts. They grow in value like savings bonds.
50. “Don’t waste your precious breath explaining that you’re worthwhile.” – Pavement’s Carrot Rope
