What did you learn too late in life?
Friendship fade away with life. Age is inversely proportional to number of friends in life. As you age, friends decrease.
Relatives are happy when you are sad. When your life is full of trouble your relatives will love discussing them over their tea time.
Amount of respect you get is directly proportional to your rozgar (credits: Mili)
Festivals will become holidays. Bachpan vaali feeling gum ho jaayegi.
If you have lot of money you will handle the issues of your life more smoothly.
Humanity, values, ethics are found in books and stories only.
Too much chaos , no peace in this world.
For one moment of happiness you have to face atleast 10 moments of sadness.
No one gives a f*ck
Contentment is important for peaceful life.
Books help you a lot.
Focusing on career will help. Focusing on current issues, past mistakes will make it worse.
You will become emotionally tough. Natural laugh and tears will hardly come out. You will have to force yourself to laugh or cry to feel better.
Will start comparing your life with life of your peers, cousins because everyone will be like my kid is doing this, my kid is doing that.
Real purpose of life is lost and have to participate in middle class rat race of hustlin and surviving
In the end It doesn't even matter. (Credits: Suman Nag)

What is a brutal truth about life that needs to be said?
Stop hoping for wrong things. No matter how hard the bird tries, it can never fly in the ocean. All your dreams are valid but most of your hopes aren't.
The world won't believe in you until you believe in yourself. All the accomplishments in life start with self-belief.
No one cares enough. Even your own reflection never hugs your own Shadow and you think others care for you. No one cares enough about your problems except your family.
Stop searching for things you already have. We live in a world where people always are so desperate to find happiness when they already have it. Little joys aren't that little.
People assume those who cry are the weakest. Even the mighty sky that holds the sun, moon and stars cry rain. For me they are the kindest ones.
We live in a world where strangers can become best friends as easily as best friends can become strangers.
Graveyards and temples(churches, mosques, gumbas) are mostly filled with people who fears the most .
Listen to every advice but interpret the meaning of only few.
Some people are gonna criticize you for doing what's unexpected from you even if its a noble deed. Don't criticise me for writing 9 points instead of 7.
06 Things everyone should remember in their life
Some people will take advantage of your kindness. Still be you.
Choose your friends wisely. Sometimes, your loyal friends can be poisonous like Snakes.
Love can't change toxic person. Give your love to deserving person. If someone hurt you just leave them and move on.
Don't share your weakness with anyone. I say Never even don't share with your partner/friends.
Vulnerability is not weakness to the right person.
You are powerful and strong, even in the times you doubt it most.

What are the bitter truths about smart people?
1. Expectations kill a lot. If they are gifted, having an average life is seen as a failure.
2. They may face jealousy and resentment from others, sometimes including their own family members.
3. They are good at identifying problems, but may face external barriers preventing them from solving them. They live in a world full of broken systems, yet are often unable to fix it.
4. Most of them suffer loneliness, as it's hard for them to find like-minded people who share their depth of thought and emotion.
5. Most of them never find meaningful application for their intelligence.
6. The smarter people are, the more selective they are, and the less likely they are to have mates. Join here if you're looking for a platform exclusively for upscale singles.
7. They can be prone to overthinking. So if an average person gets anxiety, then smart people have turbo-anxiety.
8. They can’t stop thinking. They can’t stop analyzing. They can’t calm it down.

What are some psychological facts about love?
Psychologically, women are less attracted to men who have a pot belly. A large amount of abdominal fat on an individual indicates that they have lower levels of testosterone, which means that they also have lower sex drive and low fertility.
Men are more attracted to women who possess a bone structure that resembles that of their mothers. This is known as “sexual imprinting”; which is a term coined by researchers.
Most women are attracted to men who possess a strong sense of humor. Generally, a strong sense of humor is associated with intelligence and honesty.
Holding hands with someone you love, can help to alleviate physical pain as well as any feelings of anxiety, stress and fear.
Happiness is contagious. It’s hard for people to walk away from someone who is happy, or to not love someone who is happy simply because they are so enjoyable to be around.
Psychologically, women think that men become more attractive if they see other women smiling at them.
People are most likely to break up once they have hit the three to five month period in their relationships.
Men who possess deeper voices are more likely to appear attractive or make an impression on women than men who possess higher voices.
According to some psychologists, human beings are not capable of being “just friends” with members of the opposite sex.
The act of falling in love is known to have a calming effect on a person’s body and mind. This, in turn, will raise levels of nerve growth for about a year.
Apparently, it will only take up to 4 minutes to decide whether you like someone or not. As such, if you want to make a good impression on someone, you have only got around 4 minutes to do so. Getting and keeping someone’s attention and attraction is believed to have more to do with body language and tone and speed of your voice rather than things that you actually say.
When two people who love each other look into each other’s eyes, then their heart rates synchronize with each other. Studies have shown that couples who are in love are so bonded that after three minutes of looking into each other’s eyes, their heart rates will synch up with each other.
Falling in love is known to release the same neurological effects as cocaine. Both falling in love and taking a dose of cocaine will give your brain similar feelings and sensation of euphoria. Falling in love produces several euphoria-inducing chemicals in your body that will stimulate about 12 areas of an individual’s brain.
Cuddling is known to release natural painkillers. When two people embrace or cuddle, their brains release oxytocin, which is a cuddle hormone. Oxytocin appears in a person’s brain, and their ovaries and testicles are also involved in this bonding process. Oxytocin helps to decrease headaches and can help pain go away for up to 4 hours. So if you are feeling tired, stressed, or in pain – cuddling is a great alternative to any painkillers.
Simply looking at a picture of a person you love can help relieve pain. It has been shown that the presence of a loved one can help a sick person or patient’s improvement, but so can a picture.
Individuals who appear similar and at the same level of attractiveness are more likely to end up together than people who look significantly different.

What is something people need to understand?
Nobody works harder than a person who doesn’t like asking people for anything
whoever tells you money isn’t important doesn’t want the best for you or your family.
Don’t chase anyone. Get your shit together. You will run into them later.
You gotta take a risk or you will be doing the same shit for the rest of your life.

What is the best way to choose life partner?
1. Laughter: Find someone that not only laughs at your humor and quirks, but doesn’t take life to serious. Laughter can solve many worthless arguments.
2. Support: Find someone that has your back 99.999% of the time. They will address issues in private and not in public.
3. Attraction: Looks aren’t everything, but initially they get the ball rolling. If you find someone that you find highly attractive and their mind matches that, there’s your answer.
4. Communication: Find someone that will hurt you with honesty but not destroy you with betrayal and lies. Find that person that can and will talk about the uncomfortable situations that will come up throughout the relationship.
5. Personality: Find someone that has an open minded, non judgmental with one similar to yours.
6. Availability: Find someone who is available. Physically, mentally and emotionally. They don’t make you “guess” what their intentions are. You don’t have to chase or “guess” what is going on.
7. Interested: Find someone who is interested in “your” life, as well as has a life of their own. There’s give and take on both sides.
8. Intimacy: Find someone who matches your level of intimacy. Sex isn’t most important, but it does play a big role at least for me.
9. Constructive Criticism: Find someone that will give you the criticism that will help you achieve a better version of yourself.
10. Acceptance: Find someone who accepts you exactly as you are. They offer support but won’t try and change you. What they see is what they get. Don’t confuse this with accepting abusive behavior.
11. Awareness: Find someone that is aware enough to know, relationships aren’t easy. No one is perfect and there is no “perfect” match. This person will understand everyone, and life in general is a work in progress. It’s all about progress not perfection.
12. Hug: Find a person whose hug changes a complete shit show of a day into a ray of sunshine
13. The look: Finally, find that person that looks at you and has a way of melting you. Someone that will look at you, with no words, but the look says “Don’t worry, I got you.”
Bottom line, there’s no guaranteed way to choose a “life” partner. People change, that’s a fact of life. What two people find attractive at first can lead to what destroys the relationship in the future.
Your best bet is making choices on how you want to spend the rest of your life with “yourself.” And if someone comes along with the same goals and plans as yours, take it slow and see where it goes.

What is your biggest realization about life?
Love is never like what they show in movies or dramas (it is a very exaggerated and rare version of love)
Happily ever after endings do not exist in real life
Friends from childhood are the ones who were our true friends because as children we were innocent and not selfish
People like and admire fake people
The more you wait to start something, the more difficult it is to do it
Certain things do not matter anymore
Not every situation needs a reaction
Fair skin does not mean beauty. Beauty is about having a beauitful heart, mind, and soul
Silence has all the answers and is the most powerful answer

How do you know if someone is mature or not?
Usually, when a teenager goes through a traumatic experience, like his mom dying of cancer for example, he matures with the speed of sound, if not light.
I think that mature people are skeptics. They question, they listen to various propositions and ideas, they consider, but in the end, they don’t let themselves get brainwashed by conformity.
They get less surprised or thrown off the rails by life and its tricks.
They are more calm.
They don’t seemingly react straight away.
They understand that life is not strictly black or white. There is also the grey area and many things are subjective and depend on many factors.

What are some unwritten social rules everyone should know?
When with your friends/partner don’t fiddle around with your phone. Give them your “energy” and not just presence.
If you are invited to someone’s place always take something along. Could be as simple as a bottle of wine or as elaborate as a home made cake.
Say thank you, please and sorry when needed. Nothing wrong in being polite.
Help someone with the door if they have their hands full when entering a mall, shop, restaurant etc.
When someone asks you for stock/financial advice tell them you don’t know better than them! Avoid stock tips, you can ruin someone’s life.
When someone is talking, really listen. Look into their eyes time to time and nod. Does not matter if it’s a guy or a girl
Give credit where credit is due. Take responsibility if things don’t work out too.
Always give a Quora answer an upvote if it helps you in the slightest bit. You’d make the author’s day

What are daily good habits?
Here are some useful habits that can help you a lot in daily life:
1.If you want to be happier：
Talk with a positive person.
Express gratitude by writing down some good things that happened to you each day.
Laugh – even if you have to force it. The mere action of laughing releases endorphins.
Move your body (walk, exercise) for 20 minutes or longer.
Invest 30 minutes a day doing a hobby you enjoy and find relaxing.
2. If you want to manage stress more effectively：
Breathe deeply for at least two minutes. Focus on your breaths.
Stretch different body parts for ten minutes.
Listen to something calming and distracting (i.e. music) unrelated to whatever is stressing you out.
Detach from the source of stress (excuse yourself from a meeting, take a break from a project, remove yourself from an argument) for a five-minute break.
3. If you want to be more confident：
List three things you genuinely like about yourself. Read those three things out loud. Do this daily.
Stand up straight. Let your hands hang naturally at your sides.
Outline your thoughts/words before you enter an intimidating situation. Being prepared will help you feel more confident. Bring cheat notes if acceptable.
4. If you want to become more spiritually-minded：
Devote 15 minutes a day to reading a spiritual text (Bible, spiritual book, spiritual workbook.)
Join a group of like-minded individuals whom you can learn from and be inspired by.
Write out how a person you encountered that day could enrich your life journey.
Perform one thoughtful act of kindness for a stranger.

What is the most important thing in life?
Never get comfortable in anyone’s life, they can switch up on you at anytime, no matter the history of bond.
If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don’t compete.
Don’t tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy. Learn who to “know” and who to “no”.
You didn’t wake up today to be begging anyone for their time or attention. Go where you are celebrated.
Missing out on temporary fun to build permanent stability is not a loss. You’re the greatest project you will ever work on.
You don’t have to apologize for being ambitious, independent and strong minded. If it intimidates others, they can leave.
You will never be at this age again. Do what makes you happy !!!
You are your home. You are rare. Take care of yourself.
People are going to talk about you no matter what you do. So, you might as well do whatever brings you joy and live your best life.
Celebrate yourself !!! Nobody knows what it takes to be you.

What psychological tricks work on most people?
Psychological tricks that work on most people :
wanna irritate someone : Stay calm and be silent, there is nothing more irritating than being ignored.
Make someone feel insecure by looking at their hairline while they speak.
If you know someone who is mad at you or has it out for you, sit next to them in a particular meeting, this will reduce the confrontation level.
Mirroring a person’s body language makes them feel more positive towards you as if you two have something in common.
Tell them a secret to build up a relationship. Sharing intimate information with someone will make them more likely to feel closer to you and want to confide in you in the future.
You want people to say yes: When you ask a question that you want an affirmative answer to, try to subtly nod when you make requests. This trick is often used by restaurant employees to get customers to buy more food and is quite effective.
Nodding while talking will also make other person more attentive to what you are saying.
In negotiations or things of the sort, practice using silence. Most people are very uncomfortable in silence and are willing to break it by giving up a key point. Try it, it actually works.
People are more likely to return a lost wallet if they find a baby picture inside!

What are some of the most awesome psychological facts?
People who like to write are more imaginative.
We are troubled by lying to those who trust us blindly.
Under stress we feel more sleepy and hungry.
Boys who have a serious nature and who do not run after every other girl, girls are more attracted to those boys.
When you really like someone, you expect some truth in their lies, too.
We forget the mistake made intentionally and the mistake made inadvertently bothers us.
The mathematical mind of boys is much faster than girls.
People consider it bad to be called backward and then do anything for the reservation of that backward.
Children with good faces get less punishment in school than other kids
It's hard to look into the eyes of the one we love.
Those who talk less and talk only on the issue are adept at hiding secrets.
Understanding yourself is much more difficult than understanding someone else.
If you are not enjoying your journey then you will not be able to enjoy your destination either.
Girls are very good at face reading.
