73. Use coupons. You do not have to feel like an old lady clipping them out though. I got my Grandma to do it for me. She was doing it anyway so she doesn't mind pulling out a few. Remember to thank her.
74. The Minbari(B5) have a saying: "Faith Manages." It has many implications.
75. Avoid Procrastination: (be patient with me, please, ...still working on it)
76. Be aware that not every takes away the same morals from children's stories. Upon hearing the tale of a Boy who Cried Wolf, Garak(DS9) commented on how it was a good lesson about never saying the same lie twice. Be aware of your perceptions. Sometimes, there are other answers.
77. Take the time to do things right or you'll take the time to do it again. You may notice an edit or two.
78. I listen to NPR often as it is filled with unique insights, news, and information. I listen guilt free about 46 weeks out of the year. Donate to remove guilt.
79. When it comes time to pay back karma, you will pay it at a vastly accelerated rate and you will swear Murphy was on optimist. You'll swear a lot.
80. Be aware that much of your memory is context dependent. You will remember knowledge best in the room you learned. If possible get them to have the tests in the room and you'll do better than you would elsewhere.
81. [Try to] be prepared. The scout saying with a touch of reality. Yoda was wrong when he said 'do or do not, there is no try.' During the attempt you are trying, without it you could neither succeed or fail. Try.
82. The trivial history of words can be intrigue, especially when their common. O.K. is from the wartime codification of 'All Clear' The 'rule of thumb' was the measure of the width of a rod, permitted under law for spousal abuse.
83. Lessons from piercings: My father once joked while we were shopping that I should get an earing and look 'cool'. I took him up on it. 'Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. The second one is 'be careful of what you do when you're upset.'
84. There is nothing wrong with a man who has long hair, other than being called ma'am on occasion. Beyond the saving in haircuts, men will stop to help you change your tire and be far too embarrassed to leave once there. I'm told prison is an entirely different matter altogether, though. Try to have it all gone by holding.
85. Put a fresh pair of eyes on any given situation. If nothing else, you may have overlooked something and sometimes a new perspective reveals new options.
86. There is a price for all lessons. Be thankful if it is merely your time.
87. Know the rules of a situation, preferably better than the next one. Married couples are often allow to live together in dorms, as the rather rude RA for Student Housing learned when I pointed it out in the tiny print on the back of the residential application.
88. "You can get further in a relationship with thing like honesty, commitment, and humor than you ever could with prior experience with a high numerical value." Ivanova(B5) They have six you see.
