Love the list – I actually practise taking a short break every hour or so at work, like you mentioned, having a glass of water or performing some stretches – keeps my energy levels up, especially in the afternoons.

Wow! you’re such a genius in counteacting all the antibiotics, cough syrup, paracetamol, colchicine and the like. . . plus it doesn’t require anyone any peso(Philipine currency) and at this time of financial crisis, I think everyone has to make up their minds in memorizing all of it and put it into actual practice. Hooray!

I love you whoever you are. Amazing list – inspiring, honest, beautiful, funny. Especially 2, 23 and 27. And yes – texting is for pansies.

I agree with Will. Having a bunch of crap you don’t absolutely need is no way to live. It’s stressful because you have to deal with disposing of it later when you’re cleaning and find it realizing, “Wait, I never actually used this piece of garbage!”

It’s wasteful! You should take that off the list and add, “Minimize your belongings.” You never know if someday you might have to move very quickly. It’s just unnecessarily complicated when you live under a mountain of stuff.

Sugar-coated chocolate box pish. Memorizing a bullet point list is so American & not the way forward.

Add this to the list. Never use the term gender when referring to a person’s sex. The two terms do have the same meaning.

Thanks for the list. I hate to admit it but I totally get #15–sometimes there is no other way to say it than, for example, BLYAT (Russian for @!!$$*@).

“13. Maximize thy gadgets. This is a fun way to stay sharp and spend money.”

How do lots of gadgets help your health? People constantly playing with ipods and blackberrys is rather lame in my opinion.

So right off the bat at number one I’m screwed. Merde.

(Actually, while I do have a blog built around the concept of complaining, I’m also sometimes capable of letting things go. Sometimes)

Great list!
