WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All
you can do is be someone who can be loved. The
rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some
people just don't care back.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and
only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your
life but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen
minutes. After that, you had better know something.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the
best others can do.
I've learned that you can do something in an instant that
will give you heartache for life.
I've learned that it has taken me a long time to become
the person I want to be, and yet I have so far left to go.
I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with
loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned that you can keep going ... long after you can't.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no
matter how we feel.I've learned that either you control your attitude or it
controls you.
I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a
relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had
better be something else to take its place.
I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to
be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the
consequences.
I've learned that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I've learned that my best friend and I can do anything or
nothing and have the best time.I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick
you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back
up.
I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the
right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be
cruel.
I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even
over the longest distance. The same goes for true love.
I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the
way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you
with all that they are.I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of
experiences you've had and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams
are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more
humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they
believed it.
I've learned that your family won't always be there for you.
It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can
take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people
again. Families aren't biological.I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're
going to hurt you very once in a while and you must
forgive them for that.
I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by
others. Sometimes you are to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken,
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may
have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for
who we become.I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't
mean they don't love each other. And just because they
don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we
understand that friends change.
I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
secret. It could change your life forever.
I've learned that two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.I've learned that no matter how you try to protect your
children,they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in
the process.
I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.
I've learned that even when you think you have no more to
give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the
strength to help.
I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a
decent human being.
I've learned that the people you care about most in life are
taken from you too soon.
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the
line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings
and standing up for what you believe.
