For too long I have lived my life thoughtlessly rejecting or accepting other people's advice. I think a lot of people can relate to that. We follow what we believe in and all too often we put everything else aside. I am an independent person and I like to learn from experience. And the more experience I gain, the more I realize that sometimes it's important to respect other people's advice. And sometimes it's important to go against the status quo and create your own rules. Here are 90 one liners I have grown to live by. Some of them I have heard from my teachers or my mom. Some of them I realized on my own. Enjoy!
