The "I`ve made this mistake, so don`t YOU do the same..." Thread.

[gonelifting]

What mistakes have you done in the past that you`ve learned from. It would be nice to hear them so someone else may not have to go through the same thing.

Of course everyone has to experience things for themselves, but sometimes it helps.

post up.

Invest in real estate not in stocks.

When you have the opportunity to get a masters and the education is paid for - TAKE IT.

When in doubt make 3 right turns - you won't get far but you won't be lost.

It's not love at first site - it's being horny.

When in doubt wash, rinse and repeat.

If I had 3 wishes I would wish for:

#1) To have wisdom and knowledge above all else
#2) Peace & Proseperity for all of the world
#3) Always wish for three more wishes

* on a side note:

I`ve made this mistake, so don`t YOU do the same:

Just say no to drugs, alcohol & Texas Frat Parties and focus on your goals.

you shutup!

dont masterbate in front of another guy, most people will assume you 2 are gay

 

[biteme]

Bragging to your macho friends about how, "you are the man" in your relationship with your woman, while you forgot to hang up the phone and she can still hear you. When in fact, you are a big pussy and would cry if she ever broke up with you.

 

[Smurfy]

be careful who you marrry. very careful

 

[BradG]

If you are in a relationship you want to keep, do all that is reasonable to understand how your S.O. is feeling, especially when things seem good.

 

[Evil_Frisky]

be careful who you marrry. very careful

Ditto.. couldn't have said it better myself

1. Never ever date strippers even if they do have college education.
2. Invest in real estate not the stock market.
3. Finish school even if you are making over $100k per year.
4. Excercise your mind and your body
5. Your family will always be there for you, you friends wont.

 

[BradG]

I totally agree with the "be careful who you marry" comment

 

[-SD-]

When you have the chance to got to college when you are young and have a lot of energy help available, just do it and dont let pride get in the way.

Dont get involved with anyone who is not independent of their parents, even if they are legal.

Dont live with anyone you are dating unless you are willing to take on all of the headaches with none of the commitment.

 

[chewyxrage]

1. Don't drink and drive
2. Don't bring illegal substances into a house that is not yours

 

[powerforward]

wasting time
not showing the ones i love how much they mean to me.

 

[calveless wonder]

don't pass on oppurtunities given to you/right in front of you....
sometimes that night you stay in, or hold back from talking to someone, etc.. you will end up regreting for the rest of your life.

don't take the ones you love for granted.

always make an effort to keep in touch with friends and fam
(even if you moved) and have that network strong

don't give trust to just anybody, it must be earned.

Keep debt to a minimum....

always return favors....you never know when someone can come in handy

...and most importantly in accordance with the title of the thread
learn from all your mistakes!!!

 

[jerseyart]

(1) Never set fire to a girls hair, even if at the time you think it will be funny.

(2) Never mouth off to Turkish authorities while visiting their country

(3) Just because your bike can go that fast,doesn't mean it should

 

[jenscats5]

Don't "settle" in a relationship and don't allow yourself to become an extension of that person -- retain your ideals, independence and do things alone...

Be self sufficient as you (usually) cannot rely on others...

Stay out of debt!!

Family (whatever that consists of) is more important than work....

Working is overrated...

 

[RADAR]

when in doubt...............don't

I somehow beat my way down the birth canal...

You beat me to it. Amazing. I was just going to say my biggest mistake was being born. Yesterday, as my parents were in my room using my computer and arguing as I was trying to sleep, I looked at them and thought, "Why couldn't you have just pulled out?" Damn it.
