Things That Many People Learn Too Late in Life

There are life lessons and other tidbits that would be very useful to us earlier in life – if I was going to add something to this list it would be the fact that it really doesn’t matter what other people think about you.

Age and experience are, unfortunately, the best teachers, but here are 16 things people really wished more of us learned earlier in life.

16. I’m 40 and still figuring it out.

How to manage their finances.

15. I am hyper aware of this with my kids.

To protect their ears, you don’t want to live with tinnitus for the rest of your life because you were exposed to a loud noise once

14. In fact, you probably are.

That you might be wrong sometimes. Some never learn.

13. Too many people never say “I’m sorry.”

Setting and respecting boundaries, how to give a genuine apology, and other such communication 101 skills.

12. Learn to be happy with yourself.

That happiness usually comes from a diverse range of interests, hobbies, and commitments. You are not your job. Your romantic partner cannot be your everything, etc. It’s so easy to get sucked into a life where your career is everything or where you wrap your entire identity around your partner. There is nothing wrong with celebrating your loved ones and being close. And there is nothing wrong with caring about your job…you just need more to thrive.

I see this so often in relationships. Two people meet and fall in love. They each inspire one another based on their interests and achievements, it’s part of what makes them fall in love. But slowly, over time, they let those hobbies go. Stress gets in the way. Bills pile up. And then one day they find themselves wondering why they ever loved this person in the first place. Instead of being sexy and interesting they’re just part of a routine.

TLDR: Diversify your interests and activities to be happy. Don’t rely on a single person, hobby, or commitment to give you everything you need.

11. It’s not all about the money.

That salary amount is not the entirety of an equation when deciding where to work. You have to take into account the cost of living, commute times, the safety of the nearby area, and the convenience of living in the area.

Studies have shown that taking a 20 minute longer commute is as bad for your job satisfaction as a 19% pay cut.

On top of that, wealth = money in – money out. If a new job pays 20k more, but if rent/property prices are 30k more per year, you are taking a pay cut.

On top of that, you have to consider your future. Do you have to move to an undesirable location to work there? Crammed in a little apartment where the nearest services are an hour away? What about air quality? What about noise levels? Is this a place where you want to start a family and raise kids?

All of those play a factor in determining the desirability of a job. I am a firm believer that “my job doesn’t exist outside this city” is a bullshit myth. Even if you’re a super specialized rocket scientist with a PhD in orbital dynamics, NASA is not the only organization with a job opening for you.

10. What if it’s your job though.

Sitting on your ass all day is not good for your health at all.

9. You can get new ones now, but it really breaks the bank.

Take care of your teeth.

8. Especially applicable to the ladies.

That “no” is a complete sentence. Don’t get in the habit of auto-launching explanations and defenses – oftentimes, the people listening will ignore all that anyway and just hear “but here’s an opportunity to dissuade me, look how hard I’m working to get your approval to say no to you!”

7. English class is important.

The importance of writing skills for formal contexts.

Writing is an important skill in nearly any field and the more a career advances the more important it becomes. The lack of adequate writing skill often holds back a career.

Yet many people squander their opportunities to learn writing because they think their class assignments are empty busy work and they figure their skills in spoken English and informal text messages will carry over when they need to write for work.

6. Don’t talk yourself out of it.

That mental & emotional abuse are a real thing .

Red flags.

5. It becomes mundane, but it shouldn’t.

How dangerous driving a car can be.

I survived two car accidents without any scratch, in 3 months. Drive safe and remember “just because you have priority way, it doesn’t mean that they will give it to you” pay attention. Sometimes letting go of your priority is the way to avoid an accident.

4. Hang onto them like grim death.

The value of a good/unconditional friend.

3. Always say “I love you.”

That the cliche “you never know when it’s the last time you’ll see to someone” should absolutely be remembered for every occasion.

My best friend just died in a car accident this past Saturday, and the last time I saw him we got in an argument and he left and we didn’t speak after that.

I’m destroyed by it.

2. Regrets are something everyone has.

That some things can never be undone.

The actions you take and the words you speak will come back around sooner or later.

1. So glad my childhood was lived offline.

What not to share on the internet.

I agree with all of these, don’t you?

Is there something you would add? Share with us in the comments!

Life Lessons That People Wish They’d Learned at a Younger Age

Sometimes it can be hard not to lament all of the years you spent not doing or believing or just understanding a fundamental truth that changed the way you look at the world.

Regrets are normal, but if you’re still young, take note of these 14 life lessons that would be much better off if they were learned at a younger age.

14. Just say it. What’s the worst that could happen?

Saying “I love you” or wanting to reach out to your family, friends, and loved ones, but crippling anxiety stops you.

You never know when it may be too late to say these things, so be in the moment, and live/love in the present authentically.

13. Words do, in fact, hurt.

Yes some words can never be taken back. I learned the hard way. This is why it’s better to train yourself to think carefully before saying something. I didn’t do that because I wanted everything to come naturally but I realized that’s just an excuse I used to avoid taking responsibility of things I said.

Assuming that the other person appreciates honesty and is open minded, because some people won’t understand regardless of what you say. It’s best to avoid speaking with these people if possible, unless you have to. Things can become toxic pretty easily. Regardless, thinking carefully, analysing the situation, and choosing your words carefully is an important life skill to have and will definitely help you in the future. It can be pretty tiring to always have to think before you say something but it’s all a matter of practice. The more you do it, the more natural it becomes. Best tip is to wait 10 seconds before speaking. And do not let anger speak for you. Simple misunderstandings, and emotions like anger ruin relationships. Try to cool off before making rash decisions. Putting effort is what’s important, results are bonuses.

Small misunderstandings can ruin closest relationships. I am not forbidding you guys to be what you are or always be the one to compromise. What I meant to say is that don’t give in to anger and pride and let it make rash decisions for you. I have hurt my loved ones more than once, only to regret it later. I know how confusing and hard it can become. Just do your best to maintain inner peace. If the other person is being unreasonable, it’s totally out of your hands. What matters is you did your part and you put in the effort because you value the relationship more than winning an argument. And sometimes you have to let go and forgive, even if you were right. Because no one lives forever, and life is too short to be having fights. You don’t have to agree with me, just having different perspectives can be beneficial.

12. Live however makes you happy.

Don’t worry if you aren’t living an exciting or extravagant life.

It’s okay to live simply and quietly. It doesn’t mean that you’re wasting your life.

11. Communication is important.

Took me years to learn to suck it up, admit I was wrong, and apologize. Feels so natural to me now to apologize to my husband when I’m being an asshole. I don’t know what the appeal was to just dig my heels in and escalate but it’s really nice now. Fights last all of five minutes if we even bother getting to that point.

I apologized to my sister once and she got all weirded out. Guess I know where it came from lol. Still don’t do it on the internet. Baby steps.

10. Be kind to yourself.

Don’t ever think it’s ok to “talk” to yourself in a manner you wouldn’t let another human being talk to you.

The biggest abuser I ever had in my life, was my constant companion: the thoughts in my head.

We often take care to choose our words when correcting a child or friend… but if anyone had talked to me, the way I talked to me for 30 straight fucking years, I would have murdered them… and probably got away with it too.

Be nice to yourself, you’re the only you, you have.

9. Life is full of consequences.

Mistakes have consequences. Sometimes they are huge consequences, such as a mistake while driving could kill yourself or someone else. Sometimes they’re little consequences. But always learn from your mistakes and that you should always be learning and improving yourself.

8. Far too few adults understand these things.

Interest rates, credit cards, credit score, money saving techniques, 401K.

In other words anything that keeps you from being trapped by poor money management.

7. Learn something new every day.

That it’s never too late to learn.

6. All cats are traps.

A cat on his back inviting a chesty rub is a trap.

5. Know your own worth.

The value of walking away from someone toxic in your life, even if it is your parents and family.

If you are thinking of it and are scared and have somewhere where you can land in a safe place, then do it.

It hurts like hell for a long while, but it gets better and one day you realize how peaceful your life is and you find you only miss the family you wish you had had.

4. You must know your limits – even if they’re 0.

How slippery a slope addiction is.

How quickly trying something at a party turns into being hooked.

3. People really are mostly good.

That most people will just help you, how and if they can, if you are honest with them

It seems like so many people feel the need to conceal what they actually want from you, and try to get it by presenting a half truth or what they think you want to hear, instead of just being straight forward

2. Simple but so very true.

Learning when to say no.

Learning how to apologize when it’s your fault, and how to not apologize when it’s not your fault.

1. No one ever wants to consider this until it’s too late.

That they are terrible at parenting.

I for sure wish that 20-year-old me had understood these things.

17 Things That Night Owls Always Miss Out On

Most people are born either loving mornings or loving nights, and over the course of our lives, we don’t really change all that much.

Sure, things like school, having children, getting a job with odd hours will force us to change our habits, but they can’t change our base inclinations toward rising early or staying up into the wee hours.

Those annoying, chirpy morning people who insist on rising with the sun and telling you how much they accomplished before you even rolled out of bed?

Here are 17 things they say night owls always miss out on.

17. They’re greeting the day.

Birdsong in the early morning is different somehow

16. So we’re missing vampires, basically.

the drunk people scrambling to escape the sun and get in bed before the guilt of daylight overcomes them

15. I am in this post and I don’t like it.

Me on the lawn in my bathrobe being angry at my labrador puppy for begging to go outside to pee but then not peeing.

So I’m just stuck there playing this game with him like “I swear if we go back in then you ain’t coming out for an hour!”

14. It’s the same every day, but also different.

I love watching the house change colour as I drink my tea.

The sun rises right through my living area and I love watching it go from black to grey to orange/pink/purple/whatever colour it is that day.

13. This is at such a premium these days.

The blissful feeling of solitude.

12. We could all use a few more minutes of quiet every day.

How still and quiet everything feels (even if there’s birds yammering) and as the world wakes up the feeling of rising business.

11. Always a good reason.

Light traffic

10. The smell of the damp summer morning. Mmmm.

Fresh dew on the grass – always evaporates by late morning

9. I do love watching these groups.

Old people at McDonald’s for breakfast. My granddad in Maryland had a group of retired coworkers that he’d go for a McMuffin with.

They called themselves the ROMEOs (Retired Old Men Eating Out). When their wives got together, they were the Juliets.

8. You feel alone in the world.

I used to drive over a hill to get to school everyday. It had the prettiest mountains in its view. I miss seeing the sun rising above them or the fog rolling through.

I used to wonder about the people who lived in the gigantic houses high up on them and wondered what they saw in that moment. Every time I go there now it’s in the afternoon and it’s still pretty, but there’s less intimacy.

7. If you don’t enjoy other people, it’s great.

This is more about work but I start my work day at 6am. I see the following advantages when I’m in the office:

My building probably holds 1,000 people and probably 200 on my floor. On my floor at 6am there are probably 5 people. I own the place. I can play my music without headphones, chill out, traffic is light, not be annoyed by people, great parking in the ramp, etc. Also, at 3pm I leave for the day and I can see the jealousy in co-workers eyes. On the way home, traffic is again light. Although now with Covid 19, my whole day in the office is similar to what I describe above.

I’m also am able to fix system issues before they become customer impacting.

6. And then there’s this guy.

Woke up excessively early this morning. Could someone on here tell me what I’m supposed to be doing this early!!

5. Best in the fall, if you ask me.

Chirping birds and the smell of the morning air while I drink my coffee.

4. So maybe it’s not quiet everywhere.

The sound of magpies drastically cut by the sound of a tradie loading up his trailer in the loudest manner possible

3. The food that runs out early.

In our country, if you do not wake up early, you miss buying a warm cup of “taho” (soft tofu served with sugar syrup and tapioca pearls) and warm “pandesal” (sweet-and-a-bit-salty bread usually eaten with eggs, cheese, butter, etc.).

Both are usually being sold by vendors on foot or riding a bicycle.

2. I do not miss always rushing around and worrying about being late.

Their 7:15 train to work

1. You feel good about yourself.

There is a very nice sense of accomplishment combined with the feeling of “still having the whole day” when you wake up early on say a Saturday and get some shit done you’ve been meaning (e.g. yard work).

To just sit down and relax at like 2pm knowing you’ve already gotten done all that you needed to today and you still have ~10hrs left to do whatever you want is just great.

I’m a natural night owl, but since having kids, I’ve been an earlier riser. As much as I hate to admit it, I do actually get much more done before noon than after.

Are you a morning person? Do you agree with this list? Would you add anything else? Try to convince the night owls to change their ways in the comments!

People Who “Can’t Wait to Walk Down the Aisle”

One of my favorite things about memes is that literally no one knows when or where or how or who when it comes to who started them. They just sort of…happen. They’re born in the moment, out of happenstance, and maybe that’s what makes them so fun.

The “I can’t wait to walk down the aisle” meme came about when Twitter user @Chloejayne_xxx posted that caption on a picture of an airplane aisle, prompting her mother to text her and ask whether her boyfriend had proposed.

Yeah. Oops. Major mom disappointment.

But now that the tweet was out there, people began to pile on with all of the aisles they can’t wait to walk down again soon – and spoiler alert, none of them have a life partner waiting at the other end.

11. Thrift stores have to be taking it on the chin.

If there was ever a place full of other people’s germs…

10. I honestly never thought I would be dying to go back to the gym.

Which reminds me, I need to call and put my membership on hold.

9. So many kids missing the amusement park this summer.

And okay fine, adults too.

8. Oooh yes, super stoked for fall.

Even though the experts say it’s going to be apocalyptic.

7. And normally you just want him to shut up so you can watch your movie.

Where are you going to go first?

6. I can’t even be mad at the hipsters.

Let them enjoy their records while they can.

5. Solidarity, sister.

She’s got the right idea there.

4. Who would have thought we would miss airports/airplanes?

Travel yes, the mode? Never dreamed it!

3. This picture sort of makes me want to cry.

Who knows if these will even be there to go back to at this point.

2. Preferably when it’s safe.

How can it be happy if you can’t see people smile?

1. Yep, and just grab right on to those grimy handlebars!

You know you want to.

This is making me sooooo full of wanderlust and stir crazy, y’all!

What’s the one aisle you can’t wait to walk down? Mine is definitely the one at the movie theater!

People Talk About the Aisles They’re Dying to Be Able to Walk Down Again

When you hear a person say “I can’t wait to walk down the aisle!” your mind probably immediately goes to a wedding, right?

Twitter user @chloejayne_xxx‘s mom thought the same thing – even though Chloe meant that, with the way the world is today, she can’t wait to walk down the aisle of an airplane again.

The misunderstanding made people laugh, but it also made them think about all of the aisles they’re missing right now – and these 10 people shared theirs so we could all be a little bit longing.

10. It kind of takes your breath away, doesn’t it?

The freedom to just…go somewhere new?

9. This is one aisle I’ve been in recently.

There’s no way to survive otherwise.

8. My kids especially really miss the library.

It was our home away from home.

7. Ugh, stadium concerts, y’all.

My heart.

6. My home haircut isn’t bad.

That said, no one massaged my head, so that wasn’t the best.

5. Amusement parts and county fairs.

Kids and adults alike are going to revel in these all the more.

4. Try not to think about the fact that Halloween will probably be canceled.

For now, just dream of fall.

3. Another type of concert venue.

Why are you doing this to me?!

2. And not worry how many other people are doing the same.

We just took that for granted.

1. Classic. Oh travel, how we miss you.

This is a really pretty plane!

I’m kind of sad, now, and really missing the smell of popcorn in the halls of a movie theater. Sigh.

What aisle are you going to make a beeline for when it’s safe? Tell us in the comments!

In 1963 the first message sent…

In 1963 the first message sent on the Moscow–Washington hotline was the test phrase “THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG’S BACK 1234567890”. Later, the confused Russian translators responded, “What does it mean when your people say ‘The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’?” The phrase was commonly used by the […]
