When Abraham Lincoln would occasionally get mad at one of his generals, he would write a letter exclaiming everything they had wrong and what he thought of it. He would then not send the letter at all. Sometime it's better to leave things unsaid.

It takes effort to stop ourselves and consider if what we're about to say is worthwhile or hurtful or even necessary at all. We must be like Cato and watch our every word.

To have strong desires for something to happen, to have something or someone, to avoid something or someone, we are setting ourselves up for failure. Fate does not care for our desires and we may end up terribly disappointed.

See how people who have everything they want, see how they indulge in pleasure, drugs, gambling, crime. Remember that next time you want to indulge in a 'harmless' vice.

Only the person who ignores warnings is caught unprepared. In this day and age we cannot feign ignorance, all the information we want is out there.

We can either be happy here and now or we can fall into the abyss of conditional happiness by saying that you'll be happy when you do X, when you finish Y, or when you accomplish Z. That is not happiness but a mirage.
