Don't allow those with jelly backbones to convince you not to take risks. Their world is surrounded in safety glass, cushioned with bubble wrap, and padded for their protection, but yours doesn't have to be. Besides, a few tears and a little blood here and there are not only a part of living, the pain sharpens our awareness of comfort, reminding us that you can't appreciate true happiness until it's taken away for a little while.
The nerve of some people. To force your beliefs, procedures, or rules onto another is beyond me. I'm not talking about advice. Advice is welcome when administered with a take it or leave it spoon. I'm talking about the advice injected via drill--the people who see things done differently from their own methods and practically faint in disgust. Just because your method works for you, it doesn't mean it works for everybody. OPEN your mind and please SHUT your mouth! That is all.
