- Thread starter ISUCyclones2015

Playing with fire. When I was around 12 I got 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my leg. Safe to say I haven't done anything stupid since.
That if you date someone, especially someone who was abused in the past, tread carefully, listen to your gut and pay attention to her actions. If not, you are going to get burned and end up in therapy.
You'll never get by on 'talent' alone. I wish my teachers and parents would have told me that I 'worked hard' when I was young, not that I was 'gifted and talented'. It took me until 24 to realize that success only comes to those who work their ***** off for it.
And then when you reach the age of 30, you'll realize that many people get to the top of the corporate ladder based on who they know, and not much else.
I learned that on an online dating site the description of "a few extra pounds" flat out means she's fat. Same goes for "I'm not a size two". Women LIE!
How to trade currencies and how the national debt works, which few Americans understand.
Learned as a senior in high school that you aren't invincible and drinking and driving is bad and will bite you in the ***.
That OWI has a civil and criminal component. You can be under .08 and not be in trouble on the civil side, but the officer can still charge you criminally and put you in the drunk tank for the night. Also, don't mouth off to cops when you get pulled over for OWI but your still sober.
If you're dared to pee on an electric fence, don't take the dare. Even if it's a triple dog dare.
Pepperoni pizza is delicious, but when consumed after 8:00 PM it can cause severe heartburn to a sleeping, slightly overweight, middle-aged man.
I've learned this several times, but still sometimes I relearn it all over again.
