I'm 48. I have a list of take away's from life. Not in any order.

  1. it is what it is
  2. you will never earn more than you are worth.
  3. IT ppl don't make companies any money and are easy to replace.
  4. Work to take better of yourself
  5. You will make mistakes, that's OK
  6. Don't stay (work)at a place that you can't deal with.
  7. Don't shoot yourself in the foot.
  8. Don't beat yourself up when you make a mistake, or shoot yourself in the foot.
  9. Always be nice/kind or fight to be, know when you are not.
  10. Always set expectations

  1. God is dead, embrace the suck.
  2. When people show you who they are, believe them.
  3. It's not who you are, but who you know that gets you ahead in the world.
  4. A small handful of loyal friends will last you longer than a 1000 social media followers.
  5. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
  6. The sooner you realize the race you're running isn't against the people in the other lanes the better off you'll be.
  7. Love is work. Disgusting, backbreaking, and tiring. But it is some of the most fulfilling and glorious work you will do.
  8. If you want to kill any joy you have in a hobby, do it for money.
  9. Charge everyone the same rate. Friend, family, or foe. Being seen as fair will gain you more respect than being seen as favorable.
  10. No man is an island. The things you do, even if you think will only affect you, will affect those around you.

I'm 38. I was born to a prostitute in the ghetto, went into the foster care system and landed in the suburbs, and have clawed for any ground I've gained.
