I have learned that …..


I have learned that ....

Life isn’t fair but it’s still good.

To ignore the facts does not change the facts.

Being kind is more important than being right.

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.

Whatever doesn’t kill you really makes you stronger.

No one is in charge of my happiness but I am.

However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.

The less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

When you harbour bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

The best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

Just one person saying to me, “You’ve made my day!” makes my day.

It’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

The world is like a mirror. If you face it smiling it smiles right back.

Good times become good memories. Bad times, become good lessons.

Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Sometimes all a person need is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

Under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

It takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof to destroy it.

Your shouldn’t compare yourself to others – they are more screwed up than you think.

I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.

When you planned to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountains but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.
