I don't mean to unnecessarily gender this discussion. Gender here doesn't matter. But I'm going to use gendered words as they fit the context. I want everyone's opinion.

My dad died from bronchial cancer two days before my 12th birthday. I had to learn how to be a 'man' from my ill mother.

What I want to know is, if you had to import some wisdom to preteen me, about the fundamentals of life, what would it be?

I've barely learned to shave (and prefer a beard anyway). What can you teach me Hexbear?

I'm 32 by the way. I'm just curious.

  • Don't go inside the silos

  • Work hard, but make time for your family.

  • kermit-pain "Clean your room"

Always try to maintain a clean and ordered place either workplace or living space. Wash the dishes as soon as possible, wash your clothes ASAP; if you have nothing to do, broom the floor anyways. Use an scheduler notebook or whatever of the things you gotta do. This I learned by difference from my dad, instead of by example.
