Below are some of the things that I have learned/realized over my lifetime. Since all of them are not objective things, I believe I learned them as a process and realized them at a certain point. Thoughts got mixed with facts and then rationalizing them worked up to create yet another thought.

Learning is a gradual process just like life as a journey, although the realization/revelation is like getting the solution from the equation. It's the process that is vital, although solution is what counts in the end.

When you have learned something well, it's really hard to unlearn that.

You can make philosophy out of life, but to make life out of a philosophy is an absurd decision.

When randomness becomes a rule, systematic rules make little or no sense.

It's not true because somebody said so, but it's the corollary: somebody said so because it was/is true.

When you are working and you are thinking, which is pertinent to your work, it's single tasking; when you are doing something and thinking entirely different, it's multitasking- like when you are dish-washing and thinking.

Why try to remember something, when you want to forget it?! It's pointless.

Obviously, it's better to be simply late than really late. You might be considered for being late but hardly you would be considered for being really late.

Don't try to be like others, as someone said "Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you do." If you try to be like others, you wouldn't be YOU. However, it doesn't provide you an excuse to be a jackass : )
