Maybe the protein deficiency? edit: just so you realise, alot of these are just generalisations you have made based off of a small sample of personal experiences. edit 2: spell check sucks in terms of accepting british and canadian variantions of words. [/ QUOTE ] and picking up words like "alot".. no wait, it does pick those up also, variantions

Re: What I\'ve Learned.
- doing most simple boring tasks is a lot easier / more satisfying if you tell yourself 'ok i'm doing it might as well do it well (eg in most efficient way possible, whatever)' etc; eg cleaning dishes.
- people who talk of improv acting (I think this is in the book Blink?) say that to improv act, one of the first easy things to do is always answer yes to whatever question you are asked, as this generates more interesting scenarios; this is actually true of all of life in my experience; if someone says 'we are doing X or Y, want to come', your answer should basically always be yes imo, provided you don't have something genuinely important to do. This is especially true when travelling, if someone allows you an opening to do something that could be interesting / outside your normal endeavours, ALWAYS do it; even if you've been up all night or you want to watch the rest of some movie or your clothes don't fit the venue, whatever, when you look back, these things will only make your experience better. - fresh herbs are the best way to make [censored] taste good without making it less healthy; pepper, etc too; If you have a bowl of lemons, and adding half to some water breaks the monotony if you don't drink soda. Add a quil of cinamon to milk while you're heating it (microwaving, whatever) when making hot chocolate to make it taste a million times better. I also like to add a cardamon pod or two if i have them. - constant eye contact makes it way easier to get laid; even people who aren't brad pitt have nice eyes - stop them from looking at your beer gut and your clawed up right hand (too much starcraft?). - If a girl says 'come over to sleep with me', and you want to sleep with her at some point, but you are too tired/think you look like [censored] since you've been up all night/thinking of how it could be done better in the future, have a shower and go anyway. chicks are insecure and you probably won't get asked again, + if she is asking you over, she's probably already done half the work in her head fantasising about who knows what. Then you will get another chance when its more convenient for you. I've learnt this reply was probably too long, too, amongst many other things, but that will do for now.

Re: What I\'ve Learned.
Say "thank you" often and mean it every time.
edit: I realized how stupid and corny this sounds so I'll elaborate. I used to hate to say "thank you" for anything; dunno why. I was sort of forced to do it as a kid and maybe that's part of it. Anyway, later in life I started to really see the things I should be grateful for, even the tiny things like the waitress bringing a water refill without being asked or somebody holding a door for a couple seconds. I find looking people in the eye, saying "thank you" for these things and genuinely appreciating it has made my life much more pleasant.
