Your parents probably tell you a lot of things like study hard, get a good job, be a decent human being, take out the goddamn garbage for christ's sake. But what they won't tell you are the ugly (and slightly less ugly) truths about life that, if you can accept early on, will save you some grief later. Each bit of wisdom is short and to the point, like all wisdom should be. Enjoy! Or not. It's up to you.
