pasitheaMaking a list of all the things I need to learn soon. Stupid things mostly.
How to make a filter on VCL.
How to use the LJ downloadable client.
How to edit my LJ style.
How to get in touch with copyright holders and get terms for incorperating their material into my project.
How to maintain a list of festivals for film submissions.
etc, etc, etc. My list of things to learn goes on forever it seems like and unfortunetely it gets prioritized by interest rather than need it seems like. For instance. I don't know anything about how I might actually graduate college. I don't know what classes I need or who to talk to. I don't even know the real differences between Freshman and Sophmore.
So. I thought I'd pose this question:
What are the 10 most important things to know in life?
I'm not talking about tying your shoes or eating properly. More like: The things that will help you survive in society.
Any input would be appreciated.

a) Make an effort at things you'd personally enjoy or feel you have to do, even if you think nothing practical will come of it. These things will haunt you if you don't do something about it.
b) For God's sake, surround yourself with positive people. You can go two ways with your life, up or down. Why do you insist on dwelling on things that are wrong, instigating and complaining when you could be concentrating on what's good. Have faith.
2. and what you can do for Others, continuing from that one..
a) Grow up. Don't make fun of others or take entertainment from their pain. Use judgment and help them if you can, otherwise stay away. Don't antagonize.
b) Be careful of what you post online, as it'll be archived forever, in some cases. If you must post something negative, qualify it with a "this is how I feel now, but I could be wrong." I feel pretty foolish reading some of the things I posted while in a *temporary* bad mood.

My mom's hairdresser has one of those 'Rules to Live By' inspirational posters in her home salon, and I think that it has good advice on it. I'll have to copy it one day.
