Can anyone explain to me the #2?


It’s just wimpy. But as you get older, it’s ok for getting out!

Jump in the deep end, don't be a wuss in the shallow end.


I have a pool. My wife can't bring herself to jump in, but prefers the stairs. I tried it and it's painful, by inches. Not so bad on your toes maybe up to your ankles, then as you get further in it gets worse. When you get to your gut, you think you're breaking through 6" of ice. It gets no better as you inch in further. Taking the stair route will take you anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes to get into the pool.

If you jump in, there's a thermal shock. It lasts about 5 seconds. Then you're fine.

(I'm assuming your pool temperature is over 65F).

If you need an explanation for #2, you probably "Take the stairs".

Along with #13 -- carry an umbrella in the car. You may not mind getting wet, but when you have a female in the car, keep her dry.

I’m thinking that these “rules” would be just as important to daughters too.

This is so much clap trap. Only idiots read and are impressed by this pabulum.

So, this is what you should teach your child and they will never go wrong, oh, and by the way, teach your children, the girls as well and they will be amazed at having such a deep parent!

There are just THREE (3) items on the list.

The first is so obvious that it becomes insulting, but ok, Human beings, all humans, boys, girls, gender, religion oar political orientation should take to heart that people can deal with only three things at once, if you ask more of them you will never get any productivity from them. Sorry girls, this multi tasking goes against this, and you can't cheat the devil! So, if you are getting people to do what you want them to do, then you must present your proposal as three actions/possibilities ONLY.

The second runs everybody in the herd the wrong way. Four (4) out of five (5) people are followers, while out of five, one (1) is a leader. So, if you have a group of 100 people there are on average 20 potential leaders and 80 followers. No it does not require much to understand that should you be among the leaders, you need only be bothered with those 20 people, the other 80 will follow the leader(s). There are numerous examples of this, but I leave to to you to figure it out, while the followers will object, losers.

The last of the three is considered quite weird but it been proven again and again in studies. It too is simplistic on the surface, "You are dressed when your shoes are on." That mean that if your shoes are not on you can not preform effectively. Some will laugh but this has been proven by so many studies that no one will fund research into this, it is just one of the great truths. But to clarify, if your shoes are on and nothing else, no any other clothing, not even socks, then in your reptilian brain you regard yourself as dressed!

So now you know what is truly important to know as you make your way in the world.

And P.S. God Doom has nothing to do with the three great truths!
