Those are just things you learn in kindergarten. Haven't you learned anything since then?

Well I think that was the most important thing I learned.  Then I expanded on it, and it slowly turned into the very positive humanist existentialism I live by today.

Nowadays I think it's something like this.

EFFORT = FAILURE = CHAOS
EXPECTATIONS = DISAPPOINTMENT = CHAOS
HOPE = DISILLUSIONMENT = CHAOS
LOVE = REGRET = CHAOS
CHAOS = PROGRESS

I swear I'm the happiest guy I know.

You know what always cheers me up when I'm feeling down? Super Mario Galaxy. You might think Wii is for kiddies and that it doesn't have very good graphics, but you should give it a try. You might have a lot of fun playing it and just maybe -- it will make you smile and maybe you'll forget about your problems for a time.

Ive learned that life screws you over really good sometimes, but it will always pick up again, and then fall down again. I had a really bad time and now Im in a really good one and next year will be bad and good again. Such is life.

 Is that a reference to Socrates?

The most important thing I've learned in life is to never give up. Never give up on your dreams. Never give up on yourself.

I was thinking George Burns, but Socrates sounds so much classier...

Let's go with Socrates.

Alasted - "I was thinking George Burns, but Socrates sounds so much classier."

Yeah, I think that works.

Legend11, how did you learn to never give up?

Haha.  I'm honored to be granted my very own fkusumot tag.

Cheers, friend.

 You deserverd it, that was good.
