Lists are excuses for literary incompetence. It is an escape for not being coherent and decisive enough on which sentences belong to which lines of your paragraphs.
That said, i am greatly incompetent, incoherent and indecisive. My first list: It's a rehash of something i wrote way, way back. i can only hope i get the same type of frankness and honesty when i was still in college. A little bit of maturity might make it more effective too, or maybe not.
The Guide to Succeed in Failing
1. You are not special.
2. Everyone is guilty until proven innocent.
3. Leave the past, but live in the past.
4. Laziness does pay.Consider everything done even before doing it.
5. There is no way out of love but hate.
6. Creative chaos is the only orderly option.
7. Hasty impatience is not only a virtue it is the pace of life.
8. Families and friends fade, in the end, you are an island.
9. Apathy is best served cold.
10. ------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, that got me drained. Items 1 through 5 was about the exact same thing i wrote back then.. the others were a bit far off (too mature for comfort... )Then again, maybe i've changed. The 10th one i completely forgot, you might want to add..
