When you don't know what you're doing sometimes it's better to just pretend you know until you get to the other side. Ever heard that phrase "fake it 'til you make it?" I think a lot of people do that anyway.

Sometimes there are no right or wrong answers. Sometimes the things that were wrong ended up being the things that lead you to the person you're meant to be.

Sometimes you have to make your own path. The fool may be walking towards the edge of the cliff, but sometimes he's got a parachute in his pocket.

Remember the words of wisdom brought to us by Douglas Adams and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: "Don't Panic." *(And always carry a towel.)

You can only burry yourself as far down as your mattress allows.

The advice: "if you're going to forget, write it down" often applies, but I know that doesn't always work either.

It takes 3 times the effort to remember the positive vs. the negative. For every negative that happens to the human mind, it takes 3 positives to reverse it. So it's much easier to remember the bad than the good. It may be a survival thing. "Fire hot, no touch." "Tiger mean, avoid." "Water too cold, no swim."

And like Trippin said, there are no dumb questions (except the ones you don't ask.)
