Life is long, as it takes one great effort to live decades and finish the journey of life. Also life may be short, especially when you are nearing the end of it and looking back. Often we hear the elders regretting for something that slipped away just because of this or that. That must be tough for one to endure, I mean you did not recognize how many beautiful landscapes you've missed until you are nearing the end of an adventure. Luckily there are so many great guys living an adventurous life and not mean to share their insights. Don't be afraid, there are not boring fat report, only some incisive words costing you less than 10 minutes. But think, after you read.
Here are 50 quotes on living a life of adventure:
1. "One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure." - William Feather
2. "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." - Henry David Thoreau
3. "As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death." - Leonardo da Vinci

Gals' love for shoes is no stranger on fashion magazine, but I'm still astonished by the result a study showed. In a poll of 1,000 women, 92 percent remembered the first pair of shoes they bought with their own money, but less than two in three could remember the name of the first person they kissed. While 96 percent felt remorse for throwing away a pair of shoes, only 15 percent felt bad about dumping a boyfriend.
"People always think of women storing old love letters in a shoebox, but in many cases, the shoes themselves are even more precious."

1. Learn to take criticism. Women often respond to criticism in one of two ways: they jump to defend themselves and fail to consider whether they're being offered constructive criticism which could help them, or they take the criticism to heart and feel poorly about themselves as a result. When criticized, pay attention to who the criticism is coming from, the motives the person may have for offering the criticism, and consider whether there is something you can learn from the criticism. If there's nothing useful for you to learn, then simply brush it off; on the other hand, if you conclude that there may be some truth to what you're being told, take corrective action.
"Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing". - Aristotle
2. Basic car maintenance. Car maintenance is not the sole domain of men; you probably spend a lot of time in your car and should have at least a basic idea of what's under the hood. Also, you should know how to change a tire and jump start your car. At the very least do the following: know who to call in case of an emergency; make sure you always have a spare tire that is properly inflated; don't let the gas go below the one-quarter mark; know how to check the oil and radiator fluid; purchase a first aid kit for your car, as well as a flashlight, jumper cables, flares, and a car charger for your cell phone; also, take your car in for regular maintenance.
