What has 2012 taught you?

[Comparison Ford]

I'm not as invincible as I thought I was.

 

[hugheyfreeman]

To stop fapping cause its ruining my confidence.

no one owes you ****
and you don't owe nobody nothing either

people that want to help you lend you a helping hand etc. 99% of the time has another motive for doing so, especially in this economy.

most of my friendships today i feel like are based on money. all my old friendships that weren't based on money, on the real only like 2 of them still exist, and i guess I'm lucky for that.

if your gonna lend someone money, just consider it a gift cuz your never getting it back, i don't care how long you've been friends. i gotta friend of 10 years that refuses to pay me back, been through all kinds of **** together and he's gonna lose a good friend over a couple hunnid. family and friends will stiff you in a heartbeat. its like that quote from a bronx tale, "think of that $20 as the price to never see him again, he won't bother you no more"

you have to give back every once in a while.

you have to sell out every once in a while.

 

[cragmatic]

you have to give back every once in a while.
you have to sell out every once in a while.

Damn.... that's kinda true. Having to sell out every once in awhile in life.... makes perfect sense.

I also learned that there is no honor amongst thieves

life is real
that my elders will eventually die
mental illnesses are real
no matter how much you change for the better or what you have achieved your only remembered for your L's
being broke sucks
ego and emotions are dangerous will get you in trouble
what you think will reflect in your universe
people change

Family is everything

My 2012 taught me the exact opposite. Family will go behind your back like any other human being if they calculate that it's to their benefit. Blood or not some people just aren't to be trusted.

Seize the day, by this I don't mean YOLO. We only have one chance in this life, make every second count.

Sometimes you gotta tolerate some bs to get the sweet potato yambs.

Be Patience 

 

[yotk13]

That if you don't procrastinate and if you don't quit then its pretty much impossible for you not reach your goals

 

[cragmatic]

Honestly I learned about myself that I wear a chip on my shoulder and I feel like everybody is out to get me. I need to change that.

 

[AZwildcats]

That hard work pays off.

Also that one of my sports teams is capable of winning a title Chelsea

 

[cobra kai]

that you can really do a lot of stuff you'd never expect if you just work harder and believe.

dare to dream, people. dare...to....dream....

 

[unsuited]

Honestly I learned about myself that I wear a chip on my shoulder and I feel like everybody is out to get me. I need to change that.

same boat. but i am getting better. at least thats what people tell me.

 

[balloonoboy]

Look back and see how much you've grown, not how much more growing you have to do.

I've grown and matured immensely this year. I wouldn't have done a lot of the things I've done this year five, even two years ago.

 

[solewoman]

This year was great for me. So much win
I learned to not be afraid.

You're not lying. Between being prone to depression/anxiety, the economy, Sandy Hook type craziness going on, and my best friend passing away in November, me:

Hoping for a change for the better come 2013.

The grass is only greener on the other side of the fence because you're not tending to your side. By far my biggest lesson this year.

God can bring you through anything if you trust him

Proper preparation prevents poor performance

You truly never know when it's your time to go

Putting people on pedestals will only lead to hurt hearts and disappointment in the end

 

[andystandard]

Following your dreams requires a lot of work, sacrifice, disappointment, and growth. 
 

 

[pftjordans]

[jones23me]
