3. I'm irreparably damaged by my past.
4. Working hard leads to success.
5. Success is the opposite of failure.
6. It matters what people think of me.
7. We should think rationally about our decisions.
8. The pretty girls get all the good stuff.
9. If all my wishes came true right now, life would be perfect.
10. Loss is terrible.
