3. You’ll have a hard time trying to get by without friends. Here’s an all time classic song, “ With A Little Help From My Friends”, originally sung by The Beatles… but I have to say my favorite version is sung by Joe Cocker live at Woodstock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y2RHMGqbWk. Here are some of the lyrics: "What would you think if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song, And I'll try not to sing out of key. Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, I get high with a little help from my friends,Mm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends."
4. I can get by on 6 hours of sleep every night, but like most people, I prefer at least 8 hours to feel OK.
I'd get by on two meals a day but I always end up having three a day.
