Mine is pretty overrated: life is unfair, so get over it.
It hit me half way during high school that nothing is peachy and sweet like I thought it was. I guess I was always a little immature so I never knew how people were capable of being cruel or doing something absolutely horrendous. I'm one of those "sweet, nice" girls and I guess people thought it'd be easy to take advantage of me and that's what people would do. They'd be like "Hey, Sparrow, wanna give me the answers to the test?" And I would and then I'd be the one feeling guilty and stuff. After a while, I realize it's a dog eat dog world and I have to look out for my own back :/ I hate doing that though because I like helping others

'Don't sweat the small stuff, because it's all...small stuff'
 The best thing you can do for your fellow,
next to rousing his conscience, is - not to give him things
to think about, but to wake things up that are in him...
to make him think things for himself - George MacDonald

To genuinely live ever day like it is your last - you can never predict what's just round the corner or when your number's up.

When a woman is decorating or doing anything that is perceived as "manly" (which is bullshit, just because a man did it in the past, doesn't mean a woman is incapable, more often than not, she's better), don't offer help, criticism, or suggestions, unless she asks, even then, be careful. The best thing you can offer her is a cup of tea, but only at the right time. Also, the old phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is pretty good life advice.

We Canadians are taught at an early age to NOT eat yellow snow. Most guys can spell their names in the snow too...a unique skill.
On a more serious level I am slowly learning to trust people, realizing that there are so many good people that come into your life. Don't build walls to isolate yourself from past painful experiences.

Whatever happens just pick your ass up and keep going. I'm not going to say things get better but the world doesn't stop because you had something shitty happen to you.
2011 was the worst year I could imagine having but I'm still here and doing the best I know how.

Difficult to say which is the MOST important because they all tie together somehow into a code of living. Develop. keep, and adhere to the highest ethical principles you can afford situationally; Be as generous with yourself as with others; Accept praise and criticism graciously, but keep to your own set of standards; In matters of emotions, don't ask why, any answer will ruin it. Keep your mind on the big picture and your heart on the details (or vice versa); Smile genuinely; Be empathic; Learn to accept that not everything can be analyzed or articulated; Walk the tightrope between ego and egoless-ness with grace. Enjoy Nature whenever you can; If they like it and permit it, offer thoughtful spontaneous and frequent "treats" to those you care for.
There are lots more, but a list would get tedious.

It starts with me. If I want something in my life to change, I have to make that happen. I have to take responsibility for my entire life. Sublessons: Don't lay blame at anyone's door but your own. Don't feel guilty; do something about it.

Do what you know in your heart is the right thing to do. Because when you are totally at peace within yourself, nothing that life throws at you will ever make you despair.

I try my best to do on to others as you want them to do onto you. I always told my kids it's not what you say as much as it's how you say it. also, if you said it, if you did it, stand up for it. 
sex is like a joke...it's only good if you get it

People will like you for the right and wrong reasons. People will also dislike you for the right and wrong reasons. I'm starting to get why the people that dislike you for the right reasons is the most important out of the bunch.

Probably to be yourself...though the degree can vary based on the situation. :) If people can handle it they will, and if not it was not meant to be. YOu just have to be true to yourself.

That embracing a "live and let live" morality is extremely hard but very rewarding. You can't do it and remain conservative or liberal. You have to recognize the double standards and refuse to succumb to the desire for the false security they promise.
