Once upon a time my parents were big on the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Here is an excerpt from one of the books that entertained me greatly: (no copyright intended, all anecdotes are property of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul "What I wish I had known sooner")
-Don't drink grapejuice while wearing a white t-shirt and driving to school.
-Don't let your life wait for other people.
-Dropping a cell phone into a bathtub full of water kinda kills the phone.
-Your mother will find out if you dye your hair purple.
-If it hurts, DON'T DO IT AGAIN
-That which does not kill you will ultimately make you stronger
-Don't sprint around the pool if you're trying to impersonate Jim from Huck Finn
-Zits always pop up when you really can't afford for them to pop up
-All that's gold doesn't glisten
-When in doubt, duck. When certain, don't bother cause you're already screwed.
-When driving a car through a gate, always, always, make sure the gate is open-- the consequences may be fatal to your car.
-If you're not living ( I mean really living), you're already dead.
-Never pierce your belly button in the dark.
-Being nice to people will get you far.
-Dreaming and doing go hand in hand.
-Life moves fast, but not so fast that you can't slow down to enjoy it.
-Instead of waiting for life to get better, do something about it.
-The one person you can truly love is often right in front of you.
-Smart people can do very stupid things.
