3) You can never go back

    If you haven't got enemies you're doing it wrong. Or this:
    
    "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." - Winston Churchill

Top Ten .. love lists!

1. Find the thing/things you care about and do it every day (your mom etc)
2. You can't know enough good people
3. Strike a balance between choosing short term pleasure over long term growth
4. Surround yourself with people you admire, not people who drag you down
5. If you choose to not use your political voice, it is not wasted, it is used unmandated on your
behalf
6. Don't be scared to struggle
7. As you are in one thing, so you are in most, develop good habits of concentration that are transferable
8. The world rarely rejects openness, don't assume it will, that is you rejecting yourself.
9. Being judged well by a sick world is no barometer of health
10. The unexamined life may not be worth living, but the unlived life is certainly not worth examining.

Japanese bonus track:

11. Listen to more hip hop and less whiny depressive acoustic balladry.

2. the only thing that hurts is pain

There is only one real misfortune:

to forfeit one's own good opinion of oneself. Lose your complacency, once betray your own self-contempt and the world will unhesitatingly endorse it

  Is it legally accepted that vomiting of a WPC's shoe is OK?
  Or is this just a reference to one of those PO-type drunken incidents?
