The greatest lesson

Dear The Reader

So we learn a lot of lessons throughout our lives. Some are important, other less important. But the most important lesson is:

THE LESSON SOMEBODY ELSE LEARNT FOR YOU

In other words, some lessons are better learnt from someone else's mistakes. Like kicking a sleeping tiger on the savannah. Learn from the idiot who is, unfortunately, not with us now.

But other lessons are less insane. Such as don't date the guy who cheated on his last girlfriend. If she couldn't change him, neither can you.

Or always buy a ticket before getting on the train. That crazy friend of yours learnt about the $200 fare evasion fine so you don't have to.

So here are some lessons I've learnt so you don't have to learn it yourself:

Don't touch the iron to see if it's still hot.

If you want to talk to the guy/girl you like don't wait for them to start the conversation.

If they're more than 5 minutes late they have no respect for you or your time.

There's no such thing as job security if you're a casual employee.

Always tie your shoelaces BEFORE you walk out in the rain.

Don't put sugar in a can of Coke Zero if you are indoors.

Pizza isn't great the 2nd time it's microwaved.

Exercise is a good life choice.

Don't try to change your boyfriend/girlfriend. They will most likely end up changing theirs...to someone else.

Don't bad mouth your boss, especially to a customer or prospective new employer. Another job security issue.

Don't get into moral debates unless you have no emotions.
