I’ve Learned…

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

I’ve Learned…
That under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I’ve Learned…
That the Lord didn’t do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?

I’ve Learned…

I’ve Learned…
That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

I’ve Learned…

I’ve Learned…
That life is tough, but I’m tougher.

I’ve Learned…
That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

I’ve Learned…
That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I’ve Learned…
That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her, one more time, before she passed away.

I’ve Learned…
That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

I’ve Learned…
That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I’ve Learned…
That I can’t choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

I’ve Learned…
That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you’re hooked for life.

I’ve Learned…
That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.

I’ve Learned…
That it is best to give advice in only two circumstances; when it is requested and when it is a life-threatening situation.

I’ve Learned…
That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

    And thus I must learn to love the fool in me
    the one who feels too much,
    talks too much, takes too many chances,
    wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control,
    loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt,
    promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries..

    This was really best pravs :-bd

    That we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.

    Really… u should be glad as they say,
    “One of the God’s greatest gift is unanswered prayers…”
    Which reminds us again and again that he exists and we have to constantly search for him to have him…..

    nice and inspirational…
    but i dont agree that being kind is more imp than being right….
    righteousness and truth are the greatest virtues and cannot be given up for anything…
    being right,for me,is more imp than being kind…
