1) If you're the sort of person who would take everything from a free company chest--including certain donations or holdings by your members--and flee because you can't stand the thought of being wrong, or with dealing with conflict, then you are among the worst kind of coward.

2) If you want something enough then you need to work until you can get it; put in all of the effort it requires. Likewise, if you are the type of person who stops part of the way into a project, and then lash out at people who finish, especially citing that you are tired of hearing about their spoils in life, then you are both petty and a quitter.

3) Sometimes situations will arise where people misunderstand one another, and sometimes one of them will try and fail to explain themselves. Such is a time to try to de-escalate the situation, NOT the time to throw accusations, fake evidence, lies, and so on as a means to make yourself look somehow better by default - because you're not better (you're an ass).

4) The words "I'm sorry" can carry a lot of weight when you fully understand your part in a situation. Simply throwing those words around is meaningless, and can often lead the way to more issues down the line. That said, to a couple people on this forum, I would very much like to say: "I'm sorry."

5) The past is for living once, and only visiting on grand occasion if you happen to be in the neighborhood, not for residing for all of eternity.

6) I don't like hypocrites. I've even met hypocrites who say they cannot stand other hypocrites, either pretending or not realizing their own issue. I can understand when it takes a while to realize your own contradiction or that you're doing something wrong, but if you claim to be fully responsible while loaded with a number of bad habits you say you don't have then congratulations on having this issue, and you need to face it rather than projecting on others.

7) Go out of your way to make things different. It's my opinion and philosophy that the meaning of life is perspective, and the experiences you get from it. If you think you're stuck doing the same thing every day with no noteworthy variety at all then it's time to make some changes. This extends to logging in for the sole purpose of going AFK at your usual spot until the system kicks you. Many of life's experiences are crafted by going out and making them happen ourselves.
