Don't think one thing can cover life lesson, but here's mine of many things:

1. Live simple.
2. Hack your life.
3. If you are successful, stay low profile, if not, stay high until you make it.
4. Don't think too much, if something you feel worth to do it, just do it, and always ask what's there to lose anyway?
5. Don't think of step 2 until you done step 1, because step 1 outcome determines your step 2, and doing this help you to do reality check.
6. Whatever you do, give deadline and timeline because anything that worth doing has time limit.
I used to think step 2 all the time when i was younger. Always overthinking when i try a new job. A lot of “what if”. Now just go n do it without thinking

The best friend one can get is yourself.

Your colleagues are not your friends

Real friends in life can never count above one hand. These are your buddies for life.

The price of one's friendship is the amount one borrows from you never to return it to you again.

For me is don't need to compare. Be content.
For me, it is realise that if it require big effort on your part to pursue a girl, it is a big probability that she didn’t 看上你。high probability that you two won’t be together, even together, she will resent you easily.

The real comfortable relationship that lasts long, came from both of you came to know each other from some random situation, kept contact and interact with each other comfortably, unknowingly together.

It is about “I like you, just nice you also like me.”

Oh and btw, when she told you you are good guy, it meant you are not good enough for her and when she said you are bad guy, it means you are so bad but I like you.😎

1. Not all your people are your friends, some will take advantage of you.
2. Money is not everything.
3. Kinship and family is very important.
4. Stability.

Some stuff "over-rated", not as fantastic nor critical as it seems, eg:

-kids= overated, nothing wrong if childless
-marriage/spouse/weddings = overated, nothing wrong if single
-money=overated, can't buy happiness with $$
-costly exotic far-away hols =overated (some prefer chill Sg, not long-haul flights/ jet-lag )
-branded stuff +consumerism +fancy cars = overated

Conversely .."good-health, exercise, nutrition, religion, simplicity, zen, peace" maybe "under-rated"
What I learned is health is wealth. If you have money but no health you can’t enjoy your wealth. Health is the most important for moi.
