Top Ten Things We Need to Learn

"Perfect" is the most overrated word people use and, sadly, a word that is abused quite often, especially by elders (e.g., parents and teachers) who expect this from you in areas such as school grades, an activity, or a job.

We can become much better than we are right now. We can learn something new, we can improve in every situation, but we need to know one thing: we will never be perfect.

Perfection can only exist in rigid matters, such as things you can get a maximum score on, like tests or video games.

For constantly fluctuating things, such as people, perfection cannot and will never exist.

Don't let other people destroy what you want to believe in, but be open-minded towards such ideas.

Just learn how to defend yours and acknowledge the opinions and perspectives of the other party.

I fight for a lot of things. Military and war funding, childhood cancer, autism awareness, school and academic structure and management, and even filming and media conventions - you name it.

Rejection is my biggest fear, which is why I don't ask about many things. I just fear getting rejected and then not knowing what to do.

I try to go ahead and do rather than dream, but every time I chicken out.

When my best friend left me, I was shocked. But eventually, I got over it.

I have been through rejection. It took a while to get over it.

When I went back to her, she gave me one final kiss.

I would never, ever want to be judged based on the things I did in the past. In the same way, I refuse to judge people based on what THEY did in the past.

You'd be astonished how fast and how often people change. Holding grudges is a waste of energy.

It's just sad that some people change at a faster rate, and the dreams you shared together are no longer what you both want anymore.

But change is good. Mostly.

I've had a pretty good change in my personality after twelve years of stupidity, and I hate being judged by my past.

Can't find yourself lost in your lies!

Yes, I did say "Never give up," but you also have to be smart and know when it is the right time to walk away from something that clearly isn't right for you.

There is a difference between being strong-minded and stubborn and just plain stupid. Are you smart enough to spot it? I am.

Even when something is seemingly okay on the surface, if it doesn't feel right, let it go. Walk away. Why waste precious time?

It really isn't the same as giving up.

The more things we create, the more problems we create. As our world gets more and more complex, it becomes harder and harder to follow what's going on.

We move so rapidly and mindlessly through the rat race of life that we're the lab rats controlled by our own possessions.

We so often focus on what we don't have, rather than being thankful for what we do.

But if you try sometime, you'll get what you need.

There are no right or wrong opinions. People just need to learn and know that.

And there's no such thing as "right." Claiming such is basically an opinion.

Whether you like it or not, your opinion won't be correct.

I'm a crazy weirdo, and I'm calling you because I've really got nothing better to do!

Very true. I don't want "perfect" people in my life. That would be far too boring.

I am looking at you, conformists who are trying too hard.

When do we knead this? Spilling is useless. /s

I think it's fair to say that I now know who values me as a friend and who doesn't.
