Learn to say NO, and mean it. There are only 24 hours in each day and you need to sleep for a few of those.
If when in a relationship, you have some niggling doubts, but brush them away, you probably should actually pay attention to them. Thinking you're in love and being obstinate is not enough to make a relationship work - it takes two.
If it's not "pretty perfect" in the beginning, it's unlikely that the relationship will last the course.
Most teachers only read the introduction and the conclusion to your papers.
The fact that you may actually deserve something doesn't at all mean that you will get it.
Willpower is everything.
No matter how much you like someone, they can always hate your guts and you may never understand why. Sometimes two people can be like oil and water, that's just how it is.
Sometimes revealing everything is a very bad idea. Instincts are overrated. Making yourself vulnerable is generally stupid. People will, 99.9 % of the time, take advantage of that.
You may be right, but what matters is to be on the right side. It's still ok to stand on your own.
Given the chance, most people WILL be rude. Stop being so damned nice!
Even though most guys say they like confident women, most will run if you make the first move.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
