Don't troll the internet for 10 years about the same topic on unrelated forums.

Nah, all crazy girls are great in the sack, but that is all they are great for, and even that gets old if you have to always sleep with one eye open.

The *prescriptive* answer is:
"learned" should used in phrases such as "a learned professor", in which case it is pronounced with two syllables.
"learnt" should be used in phrases like "I learnt a valuable lesson today".

The *descriptive* answer in British English is:
"learned" is used in phrases such as "a learned professor", in which case it is pronounced with two syllables.
Either "learnt" or "learned" are used interchangably in phrases like "I learnt a valuable lesson today".

The *descriptive* answer in American English is:
There is no such word as "learnt". Use "learned" always.


This is entirely my bad. I was taught american spelling and grammer and sometimes it does bite me in the ace.

If you aren't stressed, you're not working hard enough.

Stop complaining already, there is and always will be a reason to be pissed off about something.

Stop being a victim, after going through some tough years after a friends passing I thought that my experiences where so harsh, that no one has been through what I have. The truth is that people go through different struggles all of time for different reasons their pain and experiences are no different or more serve than your own so just stop acting like you are so hard done by.

Take risks , you HAVE to do this in order to get what you want.

Not everyone is looking at you, they are way too busy worrying about their own ego, so when you make a mistake or look stupid don’t worry about it.

When you screw up always ask yourself “will this matter in a year from now?” 99% of the time the answers is no and you can stop worrying about it.

Life is way too short to purposely strive towards being stressed

If you can't remember which side the gas tank is on look at the fuel gauge. There is an arrow next to the gas icon that points to the side the tank is on.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
I have learned in life that if you want to be taken seriously, don't use Comic Sans MS.
