89. Wisdom is best learned in small portions and best applied in large ones; or at least, combinations of smaller ones.
90. Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you truly need it, it will be there for you.
91. "I was put on this earth to help people. I just happen to be in retail." -AD Coughlin
92. Forgive; if you cannot forgive then forget; if you cannot forget, then be patient. Eventually you will forget why you can't forget or forgive.
93. Pay it forward. Great idea but it applies to more than just positive stuff. Pain is paid forward far more often than any other commodity.
94. You can set your college schedule around the television but it may result with you having a dramatically different major than you intended on the way in.
95. Avoid repeating yourself too much. Even when saying something profound you may lose your audience.
96. "Power without perception is spriitually useless and therefore of no real value." Fist of the North Star.
97. The most overused phrase is supposed to be 'I love you' not 'I'm sorry.' My life contains more of the latter and sometimes it carries the same dangers of overuse as 'love'.
98. If you truly do not need a bag with your purchase, Save a Plastic Tree (or if your more political 'reduce our dependence on foreign oil'). If nothing else you are likely to toss out the receipt along with the bag. Remember advice #11.
99. A wise man once said "this too shall pass." I just wish Grandpa would quit those breaking wind jokes.
100. While extremely useful, be wary of digital data as it's too easy to change later. When it's important, print out a hard copy. They're safer. Digital information grows and changes.
