Old Writings: Other Things
This is a list I wrote when I was about twelve. Pretty funny with a few profound items. I have left it as is for integrity’s sake.
Enjoy,
Other Things:Try to be more patient every day.Don’t act how you think people want you to act. Act like yourself and you will be liked for being yourself and being original.
In life, you will always have enemies, and you will always have friends. Many friends and fewer enemies is always good but a few good friends compared to many enemies is better.
It is easy to get frustrated and upset but better to understand.
Many people hate others because of the way they make an impression upon them. Try to let an individual make their own impression upon you over time instead of the impression you get when first looking at them.
When the chance to do something good arises take the chance and do it.
Talking to rude and self-centered people just makes you mad.
Don’t yell unless someone is deaf or can’t hear you.
If you don’t like something, say something about it. If you don’t say something then nothing can be done about it.
There aren’t very many people you can trust, be careful who you trust in.

Bright lights are bad. They are hard on your eyes and take away the beauty of things.
People are born selfish. People grow up to be selfish. Some LEARN not to be selfish. And many of those who learned not to be selfish went back into the habit.
There are no ugly loves. That means that if you really love somebody then you won’t be able to find anything about them that you find ugly.
Hate is so easy to come by because there are so many things out there that people do to piss you off. It looks as if they do it on purpose because they are too lazy to do things themselves.
If you have an idea or an opinion about something write it down but write it so others can understand your idea if in case you pass away before being given the chance to present it to them.

Wise sayings, They make sense.
Do you go by them though?
There is a saying that all philosophers are hypocrites given enough time. I don’t think that all of them are things to ‘go by.’ Most are about what I have seen. For the ones to ‘go by’ I will admit I am not faithful to them but I will also admit that if I was faithful to them, life would be better.
However, these were observations of my world at that age. Looking back over them most them still stand very true. A few are unclear, as in I don’t know what I meant by them.
