410: 2011-04-08: If someone has truly found a way to make money, he is unlikely to let you in on it.
411: 2011-04-08: You make money reliably only in fields you know personally and intimately yourself, where you aren't relying on someone else's knowledge.
412: 2011-04-08: If you have money, the dumbest thing you can do with it is to give it to someone with a brilliant idea.

416: 2011-04-02: When someone uses straw man against you, there's really no defense. They've gone paranoid, and all you can do is withdraw.
417: 2011-04-02: The straw man, in a personal conflict, is when someone distorts your words into the worst possible connotation then attacks that version.
418: 2011-04-01: RT @HisHoliness: If you rely on someone who has lower qualities than yourself, that will lead to your degeneration.
419: 2011-03-28: When someone insists on a clean knife for slitting their wrists, you understand why they're suicidal. No perspective.

430: 2011-03-13: It can be painfully obvious to us how someone is heading down a bad path, but we can't tell them because they don't want to hear it.
431: 2011-03-12: When relationships go bad, it is not because someone changed. Instead, defects we chose to ignore during courtship come back to haunt us.

454: 2011-01-06: Predictions for 2011: You or someone you know will suffer from a serious disease or life-threatening accident.
455: 2011-01-04: The detachment of the internet means you can blow someone off or run them over and never feel it yourself. It's only electrons!

457: 2010-12-30: Show me a pot legalization advocate and I'll show you someone trying to justify his own use. Concern for humanity has little to do with it.
458: 2010-12-18: Someone can be "smart" and "talented" but that's only part of the story. The rest is how they are emotionally invested.
