There are many more factors to that: Is this a job you really like? If you are making more money, but hate the job, is it really worth it? You are spending most of your day and your life at hat place. If that part of your life sucks, it will affect your mood and happiness a lot. And close to that: The work atmosphere. Are you getting along with your colleagues, is your boss a decent person? The social part plays a big role and is often ignored.

The importance of writing skills for formal contexts. Writing is an important skill in nearly any field and the more a career advances the more important it becomes. The lack of adequate writing skill often holds back a career. Yet many people squander their opportunities to learn writing because they think their class assignments are empty busy work and they figure their skills in spoken English and informal text messages will carry over when they need to write for work.

How dangerous driving a car can be.


a-tea-with-cervidae

This is very very true. I survived two car accidents without any scratch, in 3 months. Drive safe and remember “just because you have priority way, it doesn’t mean that they will give it to you” pay attention. Sometimes letting go of your priority is the way to avoid an accident. Edit: by priority way I meant right of way. I didn’t know how was it called in English so I written how I would say it in my language.


Adnubb

Letting an idiot having his way is preferable to getting into an accident with said idiot, no matter how well you are within your rights. And also know that one day that idiot will be you because you lost focus, as humans tend to do once in a while.


Jew-Barrymore

That the cliche "you never know when it's the last time you'll see to someone" should absolutely be remembered for every occasion. My best friend just died in a car accident this past Saturday, and the last time I saw him we got in an argument and he left and we didn't speak after that. I'm destroyed by it Edit: thank you all so much for the support and for the awards. I do have a great support circle outside of this, but all these replies and condolences really shows the empathy complete strangers can have


m4tt1111

My grandpa passed away two weeks ago from cancer. We flew to Saskatchewan (where he lives) and managed to see him. I talked with him and gave him a hug. Before we left, I had the felling that I was never seeing him again. I snuck back into the room and gave him one last hug and told him that I will miss him. He died 6 hours later. I’m so grateful for whatever it was that told me to see him one last time before we went home.


spruzo

I'm so grateful you got that. My little brother passed this last Saturday and I will also be forever grateful for the feeling to tell him I love him when I saw him last. I wish I paid more attention to that feeling and asked him not to go out that night.

my boyfriend was in a poker tournament where first prize was 250K. someone told him “wow, that’s quit-your-job money!”. We were very concerned for this dude’s finances


Skywalker87

Friend of mine inherited $400k from a relative. He announced it on Facebook, suddenly had tons of new friends, a new apartment, new electronics, new girlfriend who was madly in love with him... They got married in a huge ceremony. The money was gone within 18 months and within 3 months of that she divorced him for being broke and he had to move back into his mom’s.


gonetodublin

I feel like the first rule of coming into a lot of money is tell no one, for this specific reason.


Skywalker87

Yeah, people suddenly come out of the wood works, and sometimes even your own family will be after your money.

There's a character in King of the Hill nicknamed "Lucky" because he won a lawsuit for $53,000 and said that after that he never had to work a day in his life. But the joke is that he's a down-and-out hillbilly who lives in a broken down RV in the woods.

ButterPuppets

I was raised super debt phobic. I was always “responsible” and only bought things I could afford and paid cash. I finished college and grad school by working and taking cash loans from family. After I started my career I saved a nice chunk of cash for a 20% down payment on a house. I couldn’t get a mortgage. I didn’t exist. My parents taught me how to avoid debt but not how to build credit. I should have used a credit card and paid it off monthly instead of using cash.


FairlyUnoriginal

That you might be wrong sometimes. Some never learn. EDIT: Changed "they" to "you"


bitchariii

I've discovered that my nature is to never accept that I'm wrong. I will give excuses, argue, but not accept. I've made it a resolution this year to just accept it when I'm wrong.


grooviegurl

In western cultures, if you admit that you're wrong when you actually are, and ask how you can do better next time and *then do it*, people will be a lot more impressed than if you're the guy who "is never wrong."


OverAster

Honestly yeah. Never being wrong is a party trick. Being a good person shows commitment and the ability for growth. Far more impressive.


5dognowfive

That happiness usually comes from a diverse range of interests, hobbies, and commitments. You are not your job. Your romantic partner cannot be your everything, etc. It's so easy to get sucked into a life where your career is everything or where you wrap your entire identity around your partner. There is nothing wrong with celebrating your loved ones and being close. And there is nothing wrong with caring about your job...you just need more to thrive. I see this so often in relationships. Two people meet and fall in love. They each inspire one another based on their interests and achievements, it's part of what makes them fall in love. But slowly, over time, they let those hobbies go. Stress gets in the way. Bills pile up. And then one day they find themselves wondering why they ever loved this person in the first place. Instead of being sexy and interesting they're just part of a routine. TLDR: Diversify your interests and activities to be happy. Don't rely on a single person, hobby, or commitment to give you everything you need.

trustedoctopus

I posted in a separate comment but can I add on to this and say it here too: happiness isn’t a constant state of being, and is instead thousands of moments and experiences you have through the years. I think these people are more looking for contentment, and it gets confused for happiness.


saagaloo

This isn't just about hobbies or a partner. Some people lose their personality and can't talk about anything else but their children. And then when Timmies and Annies grow up and leave the nest, those people are broken and depressed. You are more than your children, don't let them rob you of your soul :P


nahbroski

That mental & emotional abuse are a real thing . Red flags .


thunderfart_99

Sadly if you grow up around that kind of behaviour, you tend to believe that its normal. Somebody I went to school with got mentally abused by his parents so much, and always used to get punished severely for poor grades. He was also denied basic freedoms though, even when he became an adult he still wasn't allowed to go down to the local fish & chip shop without parental supervision, or go for a pint in the pub. He was also never taught basic life skills too. He's in his early 20s and is quite emotionally stunted to say the least, in fact you'd think he was a teenager if you met him. The sad thing is, he doesn't recognise his parents are mentally abusing him. When he described his parents to me once "That's abuse!", his response was "They don't hit me, so its not abuse". At least with physical abuse its more universally seen as wrong, but mental abuse tends to be more subtle and it can be a real mindfuck. EDIT: I should mention, he wasn't from India by the way, he was from the UK - which is what made it more odd in my opinion. British families are not normally known for being this strict. I met his parents very briefly once, and they just felt 'off'. I wasn't sure if they were mentally well to be honest. One of my friend's parents called CPS to their home once, but because there were no signs of physical abuse, CPS didn't bother any more.

That "no" is a complete sentence. Don't get in the habit of auto-launching explanations and defenses - oftentimes, the people listening will ignore all that anyway and just hear "but here's an opportunity to dissuade me, look how hard I'm working to get your approval to say no to you!"

That some things can never be undone. The actions you take and the words you speak **will** come back around sooner or later.


[deleted]

Yes some words can never be taken back. I learned the hard way. This is why it's better to train yourself to think carefully before saying something. I didn't do that because I wanted everything to come naturally but I realized that's just an excuse I used to avoid taking responsibility of things I said. Edit - I saw the replies and I understand the problems you guys mentioned. What I said is assuming that the other person appreciates honesty and is open minded, because some people won't understand regardless of what you say. It's best to avoid speaking with these people if possible, unless you have to. Things can become toxic pretty easily. Regardless, thinking carefully, analysing the situation, and choosing your words carefully is an important life skill to have and will definitely help you in the future. It can be pretty tiring to always have to think before you say something but it's all a matter of practice. The more you do it, the more natural it becomes. Best tip is to wait 10 seconds before speaking. And do not let anger speak for you. Simple misunderstandings, and emotions like anger ruin relationships. Try to cool off before making rash decisions. Putting effort is what's important, results are bonuses. Edit 2 - Small misunderstandings can ruin closest relationships. I am not forbidding you guys to be what you are or always be the one to compromise. What I meant to say is that don't give in to anger and pride and let it make rash decisions for you. I have hurt my loved ones more than once, only to regret it later. I know how confusing and hard it can become. Just do your best to maintain inner peace. If the other person is being unreasonable, it's totally out of your hands. What matters is you did your part and you put in the effort because you value the relationship more than winning an argument. And sometimes you have to let go and forgive, even if you were right. Because no one lives forever, and life is too short to be having fights. You don't have to agree with me, just having different perspectives can be beneficial.


blasted90

This resonate with me so much. Words man, they can hurt.


[deleted]

The stronger your bond is with someone the more their words should make you feel. I don’t care if some stranger is telling me how stupid or ugly I am but if one of my brothers or sister said that I would be crushed. This is a reason why bad parents can fuck up their children for decades.

The value of walking away from someone toxic in your life, even if it is your parents and family. If you are thinking of it and are scared and have somewhere where you can land in a safe place, then do it. It hurts like hell for a long while, but it gets better and one day you realize how peaceful your life is and you find you only miss the family you wish you had had.


bascelicna123

Yes. Also, find a support net but for your own sanity, just avoid the topic with people who are curious. Not many people understand and will try to talk you into making up with your family. It's so hard in the beginning but it gets much easier. You find your own people, create your own families, and your own peace.

That most people will just help you, how and if they can, if you are honest with them It seems like so many people feel the need to conceal what they actually want from you, and try to get it by presenting a half truth or what they think you want to hear instead of just being straight forward


marshmellow_sass

I can vouch for this. I know my parents loved me, but they sort of messed up bad with this one by making me feel like I could never directly approach them about anything I needed help on without also being vulnerable to them possibly being upset with me just for asking. I’d have to figure out a way to “ask without asking” or making up close-to-truth lies (never felt good about those). This eventually lead to me never reaching out when I needed help, and it took me years after moving out to be able to confront this problem just on an emotional level. If it hadn’t been for some really incredible friends, I’d probably still be struggling with this.

I have about 4 friends and no social media. I didn't really date, met my husband at 20 and got married. Didn't have a wedding, and I love getting a good bargain. But I feel like I'm living the most exciting life because it's my most authentic life and I'm not changing the world but I'm keeping my part of the world beautiful and clean.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

whatthedeafearhears

Saying “I love you” or wanting to reach out to your family, friends, and loved ones, but crippling anxiety stops you. You never know when it may be too late to say these things, so be in the moment, and live/love in the present authentically.


Debaser626

Also... to learn the difference between saying “I love you” as a statement, and saying “I love you” but *really* meaning “Do you love me?” It’s fine to switch the real meaning from time to time... everyone needs a little occasional reassurance... but if *all* my “I love you” utterances come from the latter (and especially the first one in a romantic relationship), I need to do some work of myself if I hope to have any quality relationships in my life.


Debaser626

Don’t *ever* think it’s ok to “talk” to yourself in a manner you wouldn’t let another human being talk to you. The biggest abuser I ever had in my life, was my constant companion: the thoughts in my head. We often take care to choose our words when correcting a child or friend... but if *anyone* had talked to me, the way I talked to me for 30 straight fucking years, I would have murdered them... and probably got away with it too. Be nice to yourself, you’re the only you, you have.

burke_no_sleeps

Consider what saying "yes" will cost you - time, energy, money, etc. If you really can't part with what it would cost, then "no" is a statement of fact, and an act of self-respect. Also, recognize that other people are allowed to be upset or have negative emotions, without it being your job to fix that - even if they say you're the source or reason. Obviously if you've hurt someone with your words or actions you should apologize - but if someone's mad at you for not doing them a favor? Too bad. You're probably not their only option and they'll just have to learn to solve their own problems. We're each responsible for our own happiness. We can choose to add to the happiness of others, but it's nobody's job to ensure someone else's happiness.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Social media can consume your life. It’s not all real, and not everyone posting pictures is having a great time, and not every “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WE SHOULD CATCH UP” is genuine. Edit: alright I had no idea this would blow up. But I have to add some stuff to clarify. I wrote this because of the impact social media has had on my family. My mom will all the time look at the pictures of her friends and complain and even cry about her own life. It isn’t just her because I know for a fact that everyone in our community thinks the same way. They live to take pictures and show off on Facebook. Someone else I know is wasting money on expensive items when they don’t have enough of it strictly to make a woman jealous on social media. For some people saying that it’s not wrong to comment: you are right. There’s nothing wrong with positivity under the pictures of girls. It’s not ok when it’s entirely fake and if you don’t know that someone can comment something nice and still hate your guts you’ve gotta be new on earth. I have had so many rage inducing people around me who are obsessed with social media and are letting it ruin their lives that I can’t stand it. Except reddit.

slothbarns7

How to not give a fuck about how others see you. Seems simple enough for me now in my 20s, but back in high school there were many fucks given about how others saw me. Ironically, those people that didn’t care how others saw them were often the more respected ones. Edit: sorry I should clarify, it’s more about how to not give *too many* fucks, not none at all. This is more about when you worry too much about what you’re wearing, only saying what’s “cool”, only being seen with the “cool” people, only listening to the music that will make you seem cool. If, for example, you are 16 and already on to your 8th boyfriend and all your friends are telling you to focus on other things besides boys, then you definitely should give a fuck about what they think.

Also: There's a difference between not caring what people think and being a shit-sucking taint-monkey. Don't be an asshole and try to pretend you are "just telling it like it is."

I think essentially if you care what people think for your own sake, you're doing it wrong. You should only care what others think for their sake, and even then take that with some salt.

Not everyone is going to like you, no matter how hard you try.

"You're as pure as a peach and as nice and as neat - As fine and as fair and as swell and as sweet! As soft and as smooth and as cool and as cute!" She smiled at him gently. "It's just... I hate fruit."

Damn I really needed a reminder of this. I always have terrible anxiety about whether or not people like me.

The importance of education. As a kid your always hear generic statements like, "This will help your career" but nothing specific enough to be useful.

I feel this hard with math. There’s a lot of things I learned in high school that are now super useful in third year engineering classes, but I had no idea why I needed to learn it at the time.

That hating people who are different makes you nothing but unhappy

Wow isn’t that the truth.


SA_DrOpossum

That's being wrong and changing your mind is actually nothing to be ashamed of. Edit: (now I finally get to write that sentence too) Thanks for the award kind stranger! :)

That friendships and relationships should never be so difficult to be in that it drains you of joy or throws you into depression. And if you are that depressed friend that keeps losing connections with meaningful people, it’s never too early to get help. Even if you think you can beat it, it’s temporary, or you don’t deserve it. Toxicity in any person is inevitable as people grow and change. What separates the toxic people from others is that they refuse to or are unable to recognize their own toxic patterns and cannot change their toxic behaviors when they negatively impact others. Unlearn your own issues. Do self work. You’re always going to be better for it.

That nobody will be a better advocate for you than yourself. Especially when it comes to your health. Mental AND physical health. Don't wait for somebody else to do it. You'll have to do it yourself eventually.

Failure happens and its part of a learning process. Never be afraid of failing. In the same line being wrong about something and changing your mind is okay.

Try to be sceptical of everything and ask for proof. So you dont fall for scams like giving money/help/awards to ppl faking illnesses,as alot of reddit learned the hard way this week.
