A good way to live life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply avoid being a sucker (however you define this for yourself). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
For example, when it comes to economic matters or purchasing decisions– don’t get suckered. Don’t get suckered into buying things which are contrary to your own personal preferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does it mean to get suckered? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is all subjective. My definition is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you get tricked or fooled into doing something contrary to your own personal benefit, you’re getting suckered. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Obey yourself <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Don’t let others try to superimpose their code of ethics or morality upon you. Stay firm, and have the courage to state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are my personal preferences, only for myself. My preferences aren’t for you, nor are your preferences for me!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Lesson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no such thing as being “smart”, but there is such thing as being a sucker. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Thus in life, the best way to be “smart” is to avoid being a sucker! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
