We need to live twice: in the first life we learn how to do things and in the second we do them right.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

The fish metaphor

Keep your head off water. Unless you are a fish.

Explanation of the metaphor: if you have scales, try to figure out which is the best way to survive. It may not be obvious. If you don't have any scales, despite the differences the same principle applies.

The other real life (II)

In the Internet you can be whoever you want to be. Even yourself!
