Everything I need to Know In Life, I Learned from Billy Joel's Greatest Hits

Billy Joel. I think its safe to say he is one of the greatest story tellers of our time. The characters he comes up with are so realistic and relateable, its hard to believe that its just Billy spinning up a yarn for our amusement. There is a lot you can learn from listening to Billy, and I'm here to explain. Now, in no particular order, here are the important ones.

My Life- I believe this one speaks for it self.

Big Shot- Don't be a dick. People don't like it.

Tell Her About It- Its basic premise is speak your mind, don't keep everything to your self. Many times in ones life, a person will have something great, and let it slip away just because you kept your mouth shut. And then you sit around full of regret and feeling sorry about yourself. That's no way to live, so stop being a pussy and speak up.

Just the Way You Are- Stop worrying about what people think about you, relax, be yourself. You don't have to impress people every time you see and talk to them. People aren't going to stop liking you just because you don't study a thesaurus before you talk to them. And if they do, they can fuck right off.

Movin' Out(Anthony's Song)- Don't work so hard. Enjoy your life. Its not all about money and material things. Do what you like, and do it a lot. Because seriously, who needs a house out in Hackensack, is that really all you get for your money? Come on.

Only the Good Die Young- Get out there and enjoy life. Its there for the taking, so take it. Don't waste your time waiting for it to come to you.

Don't Ask Me Why- Everything doesn't happen for a reason. Most things just happen by chance. God doesn't single you out when you get hurt, shit just happens. You make your own decisions in life and you live with them, and don't worry about the decisions that others make. If you're still breathing after, move on to the next and enjoy it while you can.
