50 MORE Things You Should Probably Think About

A rare compliment is better than everyday flattery.

Win or lose, there’s a six-month post-election limit on leaving political candidate bumper stickers on your car.

Try not to jump on the bandwagon of manufactured causes.

Consider collecting experiences instead of things.

Odds are even better someone currently has a huge crush on you that you’ll never know about.
