“Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” – The Princess Bride
Life is full of possibility and opportunity, but it’s also harsh and unforgiving. Yes, you can make a great life for yourself, but life is not a fairy tale; it’s not user-friendly and if you’re not careful, it will remorselessly roll over you like a 10-ton steamroller.
Many of us, myself included, preach optimism, positive thinking and looking at the glass as half full. However, there’s a difference between that and being a Pollyanna who looks at the world through rose-colored glasses.

:) yeah...what he said.
People like to complain about websites with ads but the alternative is to charge access to the site. Either way, bills have to get paid to keep the site running. That’s why this site is in perpetual fundraising mode.
Thanks for putting up the list. Rings true and I find number 4 to be very true.
I wasn’t complaining about the ads, I was complaining about the clunky ‘Click Here to Read More”
I don’t mind doing it once or twice, but 7 times for a short article?
Not for me. I’m old, and don’t have time left to do that nonsense.

Thanks for bringing back memories of my thermodynamics prof in college. Whenever you asked him a question, he would write “first law....second law....third law” on the board and say there’s your answer.
Aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine?
Brilliant post. Thanks for sharing!
Man seeks contentment and woman seeks social standing.
Setting the bar properly for oneself is the key. Set it high and when the fight has run its course, set it low. For you will have achieved much more than you realized at the time.

You’re getting too comfortable! :)
