Things I wish I’d know when I was younger
lifehack.org: "Most of it doesn’t matter. So much of what I got excited about, anxious about, or wasted my time and energy on, turned out not to matter. There are only a few things that truly count for a happy life. I wish I had known to concentrate on those and ignore the rest."

A veru interesting perspective on life in general. I agree with most of his statements, a lot of things don't matter in the long run and we should just accept them and move on.
This is one of most crucial article I have read so far. When reading this article, I found myself agreeing with most of the points, and also I have learned a lot from this article. Especially the last point, which stated the loudest sound is people whinning, and i totally agree with it.
Though I think this is a really interesting and useful way of thinking about things, the author's main point- that the majority of things we worry about aren't really important, is cut from under itself by the fact that there isn't (aside from hindsight) a really good way to tell which are and which aren't important when actually living through them.
