Wow................that's all I can say.
I'm very exhausted because of marching band today, so I only read the first 100 advices. I will read the others when I feel less tired. The first 100 was filled with good advice though. I'll keep them in mind in the near future.
It's cool that you're actually taking time out of your life to do this for us inexperienced people.

Woow o.o That's pretty good advice. I wish I could type that much x_x

373. If you hear a sound and the only reference you have for it is from a sci-fi or horror flick, you should probably heed that advice you would be shouting at the screen right about now.
374. Plan for things to change too often.EndingisaformofchangeRemember that...

It's like the cheat sheet for getting through life with most of your limbs(I say most of them because something are best experienced for yourself even if it leaves scars)

375. Make the best use of this advice as you can. Make it comfortable so that you'll use it. Even after subtracting out those bits of advice the reader could never accept, there should be at least one piece of advice for anyone to ponder each day. Something useful for everyone lies within here. Please share this with others. Add some yourself, if you so choose. I am currently far too busy these days to devote as much time as I'd like to. I also know myself well enough to know that I focus on an activity with some intensity for a while and then shift that focus elsewhere. I'll be back when my focus is shifted again or if advice is desperately needed, but for now good bye and good luck .

I was actually bored (or rather interested) enough to read most of this and I found most of it to be surprisingly true...so thank you for sharing this with us and keep spreading your wisdom!

There's been a lot of trampling on this thread. I've never opened up on it no matter what I've thought. But at my friend's advice, I now give some words of advice I've learned as well.

Suffering is born, Survivors are created. It's never what we should have done, it's what can we do for the future. We are never alone, we are too many mere elements and particles strung together to be such. The strength of the individual is a myth and no resolution of heart can separate one particle from another, because in this universe the mere concept of individuality is a myth.

You are not alone, my friend. As you concentrate on the busier matters of your life, please never forget this.

376. "What so ever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me." -Jesus (Church Hymn). This has been going through my head whenever I watch some of the news coverage around the passage of recent state propositions and the reaction that followed.
How have you and the people you cared about treated Jesus lately? How did you vote or how would you have voted on recent civil rights issues? WWJD? And just who is it that has been telling you to vote on such issues? Do they speak for you? Whatever happened to love and compassion?

and remember to be wary of words... is it orientation or preference? The latter implies a choice where there might not be. Did you choose your orientation (or skin color for that matter)? Could you really see yourself choosing a different orientation?

or to put it another way...
God made you gay
God is the all knowing, all powerful perfect type.
A book is written by men on behalf of God.
A man with said book says that God hates gays.
Since God couldn't have made the mistake, the mistake must lie in the book and the man with the book.

377. "We're telling all our clients to invest in canned food and shotguns" -Brain Gremlin
378. It's all about portable property. (Great Expectations) If you can't take it with you, you may not be able to access it at all. The character in the novel wore a lot of gold jewelry rather than invest in stocks and such.
379. Invest in people and not in things. If you surround your self with things, there may be no one to help you when you need it. (5th element)
380. Remember that the world you view is colored by your own presumptions more than anything else.
