That things always take longer than planned.
Moving some stuff from my current flat to the temporary condominium unit. Allocated about 30-45 mins because the unit is a stone’s throw away from my flat. But I didn’t anticipate this:
My book shelves couldn’t fit into the lift.
Not a biggie. I just had to place them vertically so that all my possessions could fit into the lift, but boy, was I rushing like mad. I had to pick up my kids, so I gave up the cold shower I desperately wanted after the move. Sigh.
But I still completed my task in the end. So, at least I didn’t have to pay $5 for picking up my kids late.
Thank God for small mercies!
That the feeling that people don't like you is probably just your imagination, and it's more accurate to say that other people aren't thinking about you at all
I feel this. Except that I am endowed with a thick skin and don’t care wtf people think of me. That’s why people often comment that I’m unorthodox
Every time I get cocky, life does a good job of reminding me that I shouldn't be.
Karma is a bitch?
All day every day lol.
You need some sats to soothe the pain
i constantly have to remind my wife to not take the trash bag out too early, because there is almost always more trash to take out.
Oh I’m like your wife.
Why not just use another trash bag? (We recycle the plastic bags we get from buying takeout, stuff like that, so I don’t think I’m impacting the environment unnecessarily.)
Learn before doing. Sometimes I try to do something by myself and it often works, but when it goes wrong this lesson comes to mind "why didn't I see it before I did it"
I’m the same!
These days, perhaps due to advancing age, I’m more patient and will read the manual/instructions first.
I even read my car's manual. lol
"Always fight, never give up".
It has happened to me several times that I have failed at the gate of opportunity...because I gave up...
I want to change this, and that is why I am learning and working on it every day.
You have my backing!
To stay humble
It’s a lifelong quest
Surprising, should you pay $ 5 if you are late to pick up children at school? 😵💫
Well, if this fine isn’t imposed, parents will take advantage of the teachers’ goodwill. And the teachers will have to go home to their families late. I support this actually - money talks in Singapore
a fool and his money are soon parted
Stay vigilant!
Life isn't fair
You and me both
Everything passes — the good, the bad, the fantastic, the annoying.
I understand this rationally but my reptilian mind keeps wondering just wtf will this all end?!
Talking about life lessons, That's a deep one. Some lessons life seems to make us relearn again and again—like it's testing whether we really got the message. A few that come to mind:
Which ones have you found yourself relearning lately?
