I Tole’ Ya. (Or… Nevermind.)

Ten Things I’ve Learned

By Milton Glaser (Link)

My favorite is #3, Some People are Toxic, Avoid Them

Here is the test: You have spent some time with this person, either you have a drink or go for dinner or you go to a ball game. It doesn’t matter very much but at the end of that time you observe whether you are more energized or less energized. Whether you are tired or whether you are exhilarated. If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished. The test is almost infallible and I suggest that you use it for the rest of your life.

So true. Also #7, #8 and #10.

…there are two types of people in this world: There are the type of people who are going to live up to what they said they were going to do yesterday, and then there are people who are full of shit. And that’s all you really need to know.
