0:00.0	All right, what's happening, people? Welcome back to the show. It is the 900th episode of modern
0:05.9	wisdom. Big number. Didn't think that I would do 900 of anything. I don't know whether I ever
0:12.1	have done 900 of anything. But today I'm going to go through some lessons I've learned over the
0:16.5	last 100 episodes from life and from reading and from the show and from other stuff. So you're going to
0:21.7	get to learn that. You're also going to get to indulge in this beautiful facial hair for a while.
0:27.1	I don't know how long this moustache will last. So it's a limited time offer for you to be
0:31.4	able to enjoy it. So bask in the reflective glory of my upper lip. And let's get into it. So the first one, I was trying to put a
0:40.6	name to this idea for a while and I came up with unteachable lessons. It's a special category of

1:43.3	Instead, we spend most of our lives learning
1:46.6	firsthand the most important lessons that the previous generation already warned us about.
1:53.2	Things like money won't make you happy, or fame won't fix your self-worth, or you don't love that pretty girl she's just hot and difficult to get.
2:05.4	Or nothing is as important as you think it is when you're thinking about it.
2:09.7	You will regret working too much.
