Things I learned throughout life: #0001 - #0010

0001: Very few people can actually draw the first line in a design, but everyone has the ability to be a critic.
0002: Kids grow up questioning authority until they become adults, then assume that they're authoritative enough not to be questioned.
0003: Most people who get alcohol poisoning do not learn from their own puke episodes, even though they insist that they hate puking.
0004: It is easier to practice something you're good at, than to improve upon your weaker skills, and rarely do people do the latter.
0005: Run on sentences are dime a dozen in real life and on the internet.  The never-ending paragraph is often the never-ending single sentence.
0006: Online, people pretend to be smarter than they really are in life.
0007: Everyone says they're sorry, but they keep repeating their mistakes, even dogs.  Have you ever asked a dog, "why did you poop on the carpet?"  His ears are bent back, his eyes and mouth droop as if to say, "I'm sorry!"  But you know he's going to do it again in the future.
0008: You cannot teach an old dog to fetch.  He's wised up enough to know that you'll just throw the ball again, and he'll have to find it and bring it back again.
0009: Most people often believe that the key to winning an argument is getting the last word in.  Right up until they get locked out of the house, spend the night on the sofa, or get fired.
0010: In high school, you may think you're all alone in the world or might be worried that no one likes you, but in truth, so does everyone else in high school.
