This is what I have learned my self.
Most people are unreliable and can't be counted on , even for little things , and I plan a worse case scenario as an alternate.

Once I admonished an in-law about this , as opportunity presented, and the remark was " That's cynical".

One can be wise and still a hedonist.

Don't brag. Nobody likes a bragger. Always be humble.

People are actors. Half truths and whole lies are much more common than what people like to think. Rarely is the truth acceptable, especially if it's negative. Telling people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear is a great way to get on that person's good side. This is especially truth when it comes to getting ahead in work or school.
