And these few precpts in thy memory
Keep this shizzit in mind dude.
Quote:Look thou character, give thy thoughts no tongue,
Hold your tounge. In other words economize your speech so that peeps pay attention when you do speak and so that you minimize foot in mouth syndrome.
Quote:nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
Don't do shizit that you don't think out first (in proportion to the act).
Quote:Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar;
Don't let familiarity with others be an excuse to lower your standards with them.
Quote:Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy shoul with hoops of steel;
Hold thy friends close, tweak their nipples on occasion.
Quote:But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.
Don't take any obstensible friend as one until you can be sure of their intent.
Quote: Beware
of enterance to a quarrel, but, being in,
Bear't that the' opposed may beware of thee.
Avoid fights but once it's inevitable kick ass like there's no tomorrow.
Quote:Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Economy of speech thing. Listen more so than talk.
Quote:Thake each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Listen to the opinions of others but reserve yours.
Quote:Costly thy habit as they purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
Buy expensive threads, as expensive as you can afford but without looking gaudy.
(e.g. wear nice suits but avoid the solid gold alarm clock on a solid gold chain)
Quote:For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
Because appearance is important due to teh fact that people base assumptions off of it.
Quote:And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of most select and generous clef in that.
Them snobs in France be way into this kinda thing, toss on yer special threads over there.
Quote:Neither a borrower, dulleth edge of husbandry.
It misses the part of being a lender.
Husbandry is carpentry so it's saying that borrowing and lending makes your measurement inexact.
In other words when you access how much you can spand borrowing and lending blurs your lines. So don't do either.
Quote:This above all:to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Don't lie to yourself.
e.g. if you are predisposed to violence don't justify it. recognize that you ahve a predisposition to something that is wrong even if you can't stop doing it.
