Although some of those advices have a point, I think the first one is quite dangerous:

Quote:
1. Life isn't fair --get used to it!
Life isn't fair, but we musn't "get used to it". We must FIGHT against it. If you "get used to it" you will end up being one of those:
  • Big fish: since life is not fair, you are entitled to treat others (family, friends, coworker) unfairly, looking always for your own good.
  • small fish: since life is not fair, it's not unusual that bad things keep happening to you (especially bad things coming from Big Fishes). You cannot change that, since is how the Universe works, so you don't do anything to change your situation.

Not a good advice to children, IMHO.
