“You can love the company as much as you like, but the company will never love you back.” - My dad.
In a similar vein, HR is not there to help you, they are there to protect the company.
The best I ever received? Start saving and investing when you’re young to benefit from compound interest over time. I didn’t take the advice, but I received it!
Did you have money to invest when you were young enough for the advice to matter?
Saving and investing is also way easier if you don’t give yourself the option to not do it. You won’t manually move 10% of your money each month, but if it goes to a 401k or a separate account automatically it’s far more likely to stay there.
Don’t give crazy a baby.
Think long and hard before having kids. Understand if you actually have what it takes to give them a proper life.
Don’t put your dick in crazy
Always stick your dick in crazy.
Far away from where you live with a fake name and number.
Crazy is pretty great in the sack.
As a young teenager: Do not start working until you have to. Once you start, you’ll never stop.
Depends on if you have found your passion. I found the career I was passionate about at age 14 and now have more experience than the vast majority of my peers. Until just recently, I had never managed someone younger than me, and I’ve been a supervisor for a very long time now.
That’s true. I started at the ripe old age of 12, and I haven’t stopped since.
Never commit more than one crime at a time
There are so many laws that it’s impossible not to break multiple at once if breaking a big one. Like planning and executing a heist requires you to break a hundred different laws.
I think it’s more like “don’t drive fast with a tail light out” or “come to a full and complete stop at a stop sign if you have (illegal) drugs in your car”.
Nailed it, haha
Well then don’t do those, lol
Hahhaha
“Get off the drugs, dude.”
Just needed a friend to care enough to say something so simple, and it changed my life. Sobriety is terrifying for so many, but in my experience it was absolutely worth it.
Don’t argue with stupid
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
Don’t play rigged games
Try to do the right thing, but actually take some time to try to figure out if it’s right or just feels right.
Being right and being wrong feels the exact same until challenged with facts.
Quality follows where consistency leads
When in doubt, shut up.
The best way to make money in Vegas is to sell light bulbs.
If you want a scooter, get a bike instead. The bigger wheels make them more stable. -My Dad, not long before he was promoted to glory.
That which you consider to be your necessary expenditures will always rise to meet your income unless you protest to the contrary.

If you can’t get out of it, get into it.
Collect what you’re owed as soon as you can. Pay what you owe as late as you can.
UPDATE: “Every accusation is a projection” is more universal than some of you would like to admit.
Feels like that’s how a lot of wealthy people/organizations operate
The asshole’s philosophy
Collect what you’re owed as soon as you can.
Ok, with you so far.
Pay what you owe as late as you can.
But if there’s interest, this is going to screw me over as I’ll have to pay more interest (on a CC / etc)
What am I missing with the second one?
outlive your creditors in an unstable land?
It’s more about non interest scenarios. If payment isn’t due for 30 days, you wait 30 days to pay. If it’s a place that won’t fight you, wait 40 and then pay.
Companies do this all the time.
That makes sense; I figured that was the case but OP never said that.
“Don’t forget to breathe.”
