Lessons and Take Away from my Experience in the USA

The USA isn't the land of my birth, to best of my knowledge. I'll leave herein, ten (10) lessons that I learnt from my experiences and travails in the USA. I'll give details later.

1. Appearances are deceitful. Don't believe everything you hear or see.
2. Secret combinations abound everywhere. Beware of your own family, evil roommates, associates and friends. Conspiracies are the secret gold of the century.
3. All fingers are not equal. Don't cut yours off; you aren't the worst out there.
4. All that glitters ain't gold, like they say in Atlanta, Georgia. Greed is evil.
5. You can't have everywhere a USA but you could make your own (USA, or wherever that suits your fancy).
6. Paddle your own canoe. Seek help, but don't lean in too hard or your support may cave under you.
7. Keep promise, first to yourself. Save yourself first - I didn't always believe it.
8. Walls have ears, that's without wiretapping.
9. You're stalked whether you realize it or not.
10. Dreams do come true while we're awake and working hard at them.

Additional lessons:

     a)    Worldviews are different but stick to character.

     b)    Beware of witches/wizards. These are people whose intentions are not known and who cause willful 

            harm to other people.
