What are 20 things that are not worth it?

1. One-night stands - not because it doesn't feel great or you will get STD's… Mainly because you could get stuck with a bad, bad, bad person for a while. (18 years)
2. College - won't guarantee you much except debt and wasted time. Go to college if you NEED it and will use it.
3. Dating when you are young - I wish someone told me to leave girls alone and concentrate on building a fruitful life as a single guy.
4. Alcohol - it always sounds like a great idea, and then you feel like shit. Every single time.
5. Staying up late - for what? To watch more TV? Grab a book and get your ass to bed. You need sleep.
6. Binge watching season after season - do you not have a purpose to fulfill to help mankind? Oh, we all do? Well, perhaps you should get to work on it. See number 5.
7. Seconds - No, not time. I am referring to the second plate of food you just shoveled in your gut.
8. Smoking - I don't do this - but I know people who have been smoking their whole lives and can't quit the addiction.
9. High-priced book stores - they smell nice and have coffee bars, but there are cheaper places to get good books… and coffee.
10. Buying a new car - if you buy a 60k car and pay on it for 3 years and still owe 30k, you will surrender your car for a new payment and owe on the remaining balance - when someone else will pay less for the remainder of the balance owed and keep the car forever. Think about that - 1st owner pays 30k and surrenders the car to the second person who can own it for life or sell it later.
11. Buying a house - a house is NOT an asset unless it is making you money. An asset is something that puts money into your pocket. So, unless a home is a rental property making a surplus in income after expenses are paid, or unless you move into a home and sell it, and make more total money than you put into it, it is not an asset. There is nothing wrong with renting.
12. Caring what people think about you - my uncle said, “when you are 5, you want people to think about you, when you are 35, you wonder if people think about you, and when you are 65, you couldn’t give a shit who thinks about you.”
13. Doing nothing worthwhile with your life - boredom stems from lack of purpose… if you aren't doing something for the good of mankind, why are you here?
14. Suicide - a permanent solution to temporary problems. Stick it out.
15. Giving up before the finish line - people tend to give up before reaching their goals, then blame the goal being too hard. Nope, you only failed because you quit. Never quit… except smoking.
16. Eating like crap and not working out - I have been both fat and fit. I prefer fit.
17. Not smiling - resting bitch faces reside on men and women both. Stop acting entitled and start being nice to people without expecting anything in return.
18. Holding grudges - if you are still upset, guess what? They aren't. And they could care less how upset you may still be. See number 12.
19. Not spending time with your kids - they grow up so fast, and one day, they may not want to hang out with you. Hope that day never comes.
20. Expecting people to be like you, think like you, or believe what you believe - hey, you aren't you without them being them… and they aren't them without you being you. Respect the differences in others and smile. See number 17.

Honorable mentions:

21. Paralysis by Analysis - I see it all too often in entrepreneurs and especially on Quora. Reading and talking about it will never trump doing it.

22. Whining and complaining - I once made a video where I stated a person willing to complain about Monday morning is the same kind of person who will complain about anything. The only thing you are in control of is yourself. Uncomfortable circumstances are designed to test you and make you a greater individual. If you aren't experiencing new problems, you are not evolving. See number 13.

23. Spreading your hate and negativity - I had to add this one because of Quora. Every time I put a positive post like this, or I read one of someone else's, there are always hateful people who decide to comment or make edit suggestions that basically reinforce their own anger and sadness. As if they are living in such negativity, they cannot possibly stand to see a person share an inspirational message. Again, see number 13. Just because you are mad at yourself doesn't mean you need to take it out on the world around you.

24. Using drugs, alcohol, and/or pills to escape reality. If you can't learn to live with yourself, you aren't growing. "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” - French Philosopher Blaise Pascal - written in 1654.
