Cycling often induces conditions of extreme physical stress which isolates your mind. This isolation, in turn, separates your mind from immediate reality and allows you reflect on things apparent and things unrealized. To break down your complex life into simple nuggets (ahem) wisdom or common sense. Here are some what I still remember...
1. Happiness is simply expectation management.
2. Always smile or at least pose for photography students when cycling. You'll never know when or where your pic will end up posted!
3. Anything worth doing is worth doing in style. Really.
4. The more you give, the more you truly are rewarded.
5. Reward yourself continuously! You deserve it! Let yourself feel it!
6. Never let depression, negativity or anger take you over.
7. Overanalysis overcomplicates. The quickest distance between two points is a straight line.
8. Truth be told, the fact of the matter is, if all things are equal = they are.
9. The right music can make you better. The wrong music can make you worse.
10. "Be yourself, no matter what they say" is constantly and perpetually true. People will like you just because you're you.
11. If you want something, focus on it and get it. Don't settle. You'll save a whole lot of money than doing incremental upgrades.
12. Always listen, be patient and learn. You neither omniscient nor perfect.
13. Cycling requires fast legs, not strong legs.
14. Be not afraid of asking other people for answers. Not knowing is human and this is why pride is considered a sin.
15. First impressions are just impressions. Dig deeper!
16. Know what makes you happy. do it, enjoy it, cherish it and never forget it!
17. Don't forget to jumble life's priorities once in while!
18. At the end of the day, it's the end of the day. GO HOME AND REST!
19. Be proud of and never forget where you're coming from.
20. This works for me: Preburn -> Carbo Load -> GO! Preburn: 250-300 calories (light cycling), Carbo Load: Eat lots of Carbo (+Coffee), Go: intense workout (usually 80kms/2000cal). Good for losing 2-3 lbs the next day.
21. Kung Nike, Nike. Kung Adidas, Adidas. Don't mix outfits and shoes! :D
22. Keep evolving. It's not only exciting, it keeps you young! Only archaeologists dig dinosaur pits (pun intended).
23. If you don't like what you see, step back or maybe step forward. A change in perspective might sometimes result in a change of view.
24. Keep forging on! However, while moving forward, look back once in a while. You might have forgotten something.
25. Never think that you're too cool to dive into a new or baduy experience!
26. It goes in like this... earphones, then helmet, then shades over helmet straps! Just do it.
27. When peoplewatching, always remember that you, too, are being peoplewatched. Now try it wearing cycling shorts in a resto full of people who just came from mass.
28. You know what they say about the Big Guy the door and the window, right? So stop banging on the door! :)
29. All uphills are followed by downhills. The harder the climb, the sweeter the descent!
30. Mas mahirap maging Rapper kesa Rock Star! I sang Stigmatized by The Calling...sakit sa lalamunan pero ok lang. Then we sang I Know You Want Me by Pitbull.... potek.... pagod kami mind body and soul ergo the conclusion :D (It's harder being a Rapper than a Rock Star! I sang Stigmatized by the Calling... my throat hurt but was ok. Then we sang I Know You Want Me by Pitbull.... damn... we were tired mind, body and soul therefore the conclusion)

Ok so just go ahead and ignore number 30. Be happy and ride safe!
