The Comprehensive Guide To Understanding Glennard Part 2: Laws and shit

Many short sentences influence my decisions and/or actions. Many of these are actually quite contradictory if I were to sit down and think about them, but i don't, because when I make a decision, i think about these short rules.

I should really come up with a quick and catchy name, but i'm lazy, so i'll call them laws and shit for now.

Some of them are generic and meant for everybody, while others are specifically for me because I know my various flaws better than others. But almost all of them come from pop culture, so there's that. There's probably more but that's all i can remember for now
Here goes:

1) No one is normal so don't bother trying.
2) Don't expect things, so that when good things happens, it's a happy surprise, and when bad things happen, your hopes were kept realistic.
3) You can't move forward without falling down a few times, so why not speed up the process by making yourself fall as often and as quickly as possible so you can learn from those mistakes.
4) The end goal: Happiness.
5) Never chalk it up to a personality and character flaw when a person does something that you disagree with even though the majority of society does it. People are just generally stupid like that.
6) People are also seldomly DELIBERATELY evil, just stupid and irresponsible.
7) Creativity is the most important ability to cultivate when a baby is growing up.
8) Everything can change in an instant, don't be surprised when you meet an old friend who you haven't spoken to in a while and see him completely changed. One accident in the family or one bad influence can do a lot.
9) I possess all 7 sins, so when I get to Hell if it exists, I wouldn't be surprised.
10) Long-term happiness is very difficult without someone to share with
11) Money is not (currently) a big enough motivator to do something I dislike from 8 to 5
12) Memory is a fickle thing
13) Science is dependable, Art is inspiring. It depends on the mood.
14) Life is short, you are young, take more risks.
15) People are more irritable when they are hungry and just before a meal.
16) Own your work, whether it is terrible or awesome.
17) I don't do minimalism. I just have a nervous every time my own work seems too little
18) I will always envy people who can create art, because they are able to make work that we actually enjoy without having any actual purpose. In other works, people like it even though it has no practical use.
19) We all need to vent sometimes.
20) I'm always here to lend a shoulder to cry on.
