What's a piece of knowledge you personally couldn't live life without?

Asked by chancecraff (30points) October 28th, 2009

A philosophy or lesson that has maybe changed your life, an experience, or maybe some kind of skill you’ve learned; something you feel you couldn’t do without.

Love is all you need.

This, too, shall pass.

You can’t change people, you can only change how you react to them.

All that you have is all that you need.

@jmah – That is just about perfect! My credo as well. Sounds like a 12 step meeting in 26 words!

@YARNLADY If I could only give you as much lurve as I want to right now.

@rangerr thanks, many other Flutherits are probably ready to kill me, because it’s getting to be an old, tired joke, but I still find it funny

Pro wrestling is not fake, its staged. There is a difference.

You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friends nose.

If you don’t like your own company, you can’t expect anyone else to either.

Thanks @zephyr826 :) and thanks everyone for your comments.
I like a lot of these… What’s a piece of knowledge I can’t live without?...hmm… Knowing that “Knowledge is power” is my favorite piece of knowledge. hah

@Bluefreedom , I have ALWAYS loved the title to that album!

sccrowell's avatar

@chancecraff , I agree “knowledge is Power and Power is knowledge!” my grandfather used to say that, and as I have said in many other posts and will repeat it again. “Live each day as if someone is looking over your shoulder!”

Bluefreedom's avatar

@sccrowell. Me too. It’s a good one. =)

Okay, finally got back here. My real answer? I pretty much try to live my life in every way to the lyrics of an old song that it seems most people have forgotten. Maybe the older generations will recognize it:

Give a little time for the child within you,
don’t be afraid to be young and free.
Undo the locks and throw away the keys
and take off your shoes and socks, and run you.

Run through the meadow and scare up the milking cows.
Run down the beach kicking clouds of sand
Walk a windy weather day, feel your face blow away
Stop and listen: Love you.
