In this thread, I will share some words of wisdom. They can be silly and they can be serious. Yoshi! Iku zo!
Life is not fair, nor is it supposed to be. Life is just the way it is. Enjoy it.
Yeah, we all must learn how to enjoy life. Even if you think life sucks, at least make an attempt to enjoy it. I sure don't like many aspects of it, but at least anime and manga help me get through.
War sucks.
Amen Anime Cafe! ^_^
Three types of food that build up your stamina are watermelon, tofu and eel.
"You can't learn stuff from anime." Hah! During a semester, I ate tofu every time I got Chinese and I never slept during any of my classes. Seriously! If you don't know, Rimy of To Heart actually said this to Hiroyuki in the first episode. ^-^
Jog at an early age.
You know how you see elders jog as you're outside? That's common. They do that to keep in shape. Don't wait until it is too late. Jog, especially if you can't go to a gym regularly (like myself).
The coolest weapon is still the sword.
This goes for anime, manga, video games, whatever. Again, arigatou gozaimasu Anime Cafe.
Cross your legs tightly as you sit down every now and then.
This may be a weird lesson, but in fact, it helps you in life. According to this one report I heard from CNN, I think, if you cross your legs tightly, you're less like to faint.
Be strong to fight every Monday.
Mondays - I hate them. Garfield hates them. Hey. A lot of people hate them. This is the day we start to go to work or go to school. Still, you must try to beat the day, not let the day beat you. =P
Be who you are, unless you happen to act like a baka all the time.
You have to remember to be who you are. I act totally different from my peers. I'm very quiet in reality. I'd rather sit down and listen to Hikki-chan while I chill back than kick it with friends. If I was someone else, it wouldn't be right. If you act like a baka all the time though, straighten your mind quickly.
Eat right.
I used to pass on the vegetables every time I eat. Now, I don't. Sure, I like to grub down on burgers and fries, but I have to watch what I eat.
When I eat anything oriental for example, I concentrate on the noodles slash rice and the vegetables pretty much. If you don't know, Japan has one of the highest ages in terms of life expectancy. If not, the highest. It's because they have a steady diet.
Besides that, drink water also. Majority of the body system is made up of water. We must keep replenishing. On a daily basis, I try drinking at least 500 ml of water. (That is a little smaller than the amount of a standard water bottle.)
Travel.
That one word is simple. Travel. You get a better view of the world. You really, really do.
Better yet, live in another country for at least a year. That way, you can really experience what is it like to be in a different country. I plan to live in another country for at least year. Which one? Most likely the Philippines.
Don't try to please everyone.
This may be one lesson that doesn't make sense at all, but it does. If you try to please everyone, you're only going to wear yourself out and then matters will get worse. You can please some of the people all the time, but you can not please all of the people sometimes.
Use your potential to the fullest. Don't hold it back.
This lesson, I learned the hard way. I can be a smart guy, but I don't like work. If I don't learn how to use my potential to the max, I can't do well in life.
In a game, have fun.
This is one lesson I hardly obey. I like to win. I hate losing. You lose, your pride is hampered. This is one of the reasons why I don't play video games anymore. This especially applies to fighting games as I play against people.
Still, you must learn how to have fun. There's more things in life than just winning. Besides, you learn more from a defeat than you do from a victory.
When learning a new language, have confidence and be commited to it.
You see this lecture so many times. It's true. If you stop being commited for a while, it's hard to catch up in the long run. Also, you must learn how to have confidence. Don't be afraid to say what you learned, unless the stuff you did learn was something naughty or whatever.
Read the newspaper.
I love reading the newspaper. Besides myself reading the sports and comics, I also read the front page. Reading the paper helps you understand what's going on in the world, even though I don't want to know what's out there because usually every event I hear is bad. If you don't like hearing bad news, read the paper still because the paper helps your vocabulary. Learn new words by reading the dictionary also, even though you like to act simple.
Have faith.
That's simple. Enough said. Next!
Learn how to do romanization right.
Someone wondered what romanji is. Well, this lesson will help you out a bit. Romanization is the writing or typing of Japanese words in English. Here's more detail.
The difference between shojo and shoujo is that shojo means virgin while shoujo means girl. I can say Tokyo no problem, but if I wanted to say the university Keitarou is aiming for, I have to spell Tokyou Daigaku or Toukyo Daigaku or even Toukyou Daigaku because that's the official name of the academy. In English, it's Tokyo University.
Romanization is pretty tricky overall. You have to know what to type in the scenario you are in. Yes, I know it's weird that Xian Pu is spelled as Shampoo in English, but that's how it works.
For more information about romanization, please check out my Hotaru faq.
The last lesson I want to mention is that you should remember that every single day, we learn something new.
That's right. We learn a new lesson every single day. No doubt!
Well, I guess that's all for now. Hope you all have learned something here. Yeah.

What?
Life is not fair, nor is it supposed to be. Life is just the way it is. Enjoy it.
Meh. My life could be much, much worse. I do realize that.
War sucks.
WAR! HUH! Good god, yaw! WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
ABSOLUTELY-NUTHIN!
Three types of food that build up your stamina are watermelon, tofu and eel.
Can't comment on the eel. Watermelon is good, but tofu? Ick.
Jog early.
By early, do you mean early in life or early in the morning. If it's the latter, I say that just as the evening is beginning is also a good time to jog. I jog and run all the time. I just love doing so.
The coolest weapon is still the sword.
HECK. YEAH. BABY. Although I'm fond of just about any weapon except guns or bows.
Cross your legs tightly as you sit down every now and then.
Uh...okay.
Be strong to fight every Monday.
Mondays BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Be who you are, unless you happen to act like a baka all the time.
YES! What's a baka?
Eat right.
I just like to eat whatever tastes good. Yogurt, fruit, some vegetables, and graham crackers are some of the healthy foods that taste awesome as well. As far as liquids, I don't drink as much water as I should. Usually, when I'm thirsty, I pine for something with FLAVOR!
Travel.
I have always loved to travel. It's one of my favorite things to do. Someday I will travel to other countries, as the only country I've ever been to (outside the U.S.) was Mexico, and even then I was only in Tijuana, which is basically an extension of California.
Don't try to please everyone.
I can think of quite a few people who really need to learn this lesson.
Use your potential to the fullest. Don't hold it back.
I'm far from using my full potential. I have a lot of potential in many areas, but I can't find the proper inspiration for me to try to utilize it.
In a game, have fun.
Yet again, I know many who have yet to grasp the meaning of such a lesson.
When learning a new language, have confidence and be commited to it.
I'm currently learning spanish. Es una lingue guapa, and I'm constantly thinking about it and working on it. For instance, pretty much anytime someone says something significant, I try to translate into spanish. I'm not able to do so as often as I'd like. Also, I've been watching a lot of Mun2 (which is pronounced Mundos, any spanish speaker should be able to catch that little secondary meaning), a local spanish channel, to see if I can understand what's being said. It's difficult, because fluent spanish speakers talk so rapidamente.
Read the newspaper.
Few people realize the importance of doing this. I don't read the paper every day, but I do read it when I can get my hands on one. I'm usually into the local news more than the world news though.
Have faith.
I have faith in some things, and no faith in others. What more can I say?
Learn how to do romanization right.
If I try to learn japanese (my interest in the language has dwindles since I took up spanish), I'll remember that.
The last lesson I want to mention is that you should remember that every single day, we learn something new.
Hey, whaddaya know! I just learned something new! In all honesty, I find myself saying "well you learn something new everyday" pretty much everyday, so...
Useless but true fact: Hitler only had one testicle. When you think about it that explains a lot...

Eel is supposed to be good for ya as I was taught. Tofu can't be that bad.

YES! What's a baka?
Baka = steer, donkey, etc. Thus, it means idiot, fool or a stupid fellow. It also means cow in Filipino.

I love eel. And tofu, in any way, shape, or form. ^_^
Unagi is nice, especially when it's grilled ^^
Too bad they can cost an arm and a leg in Malaysia :p
Tofu is yummy! Smelly fermented ones, deep fried ones, the hard blocky ones with plaster of paris(!), the white mold covered ones, chilli pickled ones, mmmm...

Even though it's greatly frustrating. I'm loving life. And I'm truly blessed,too. I've got Capcom,friends,my PC and my art to get me through it. 
War sucks.
Yes,war does suck.
Three types of food that build up your stamina are watermelon, tofu and eel.
Ech! Tofu sucks!
Jog at an early age.
Yes! It's very important!
The coolest weapon is still the sword.
NO! NUCHAKUS RULE! THEY OWN YOU!
Cross your legs tightly as you sit down every now and then.
Eh? It's never helped me much.
Be strong to fight every Monday.
Heh,I forgot Garfield hates Mondays. Mondays suck ass!
Be who you are, unless you happen to act like a baka all the time.
YES! VERY IMPORTANT! I act like me no matter if I'm with my friends or with a group of strangers. I'm also quiet,until someone gets me started up in coversation.
Eat right.
The only vegetable I eat is lettuce and onions(with my sandwiches,NEVER ALONE)
Yes! Water is very important!
Travel.
YES! I love traveling! It's my passion. For those who don't know,I visited London,England in July. It was a truly awesome experience and I loved the city! My next trip is Switzerland,next year. 
Don't try to please everyone.
Very true what you said Jazzie!
Use your potential to the fullest. Don't hold it back.
I agree! Never hold it back!

Yeah,I hate losing,too. Losing sucks. But I know I'm still having fun either way.

Yes,you've got to be very committed.
Have faith.
YEP! GOTTA KEEP THE FAITH!

I was the one who wondered who Romanji was. And eh,I could hardly care less. It won't help me later in life anyway.
The last lesson I want to mention is that you should remember that every single day, we learn something new.
Yep! I'm a fond believer that learning something new is cool! Knowledge is power!
