What is the biggest lesson you have learned in your life?

For me it is to NEVER put your friends on your cell phone plan and NEVER loan people money who you know or think might not pay you back. It was a hard lesson but now I know what to look for next time around. Have you learned a lesson like this? Was it hurtful to be betrayed or have to learn a lesson in a hurtful way?

To always ive my mother's advice extra thought. She went through what I am going through, so that makes her adice somethink to think and ponder about. Sometimes, it may seemed funny or ridiculous, but it is always from the best intention and from someone who have gone through life and back from hell to tell you what's right and wrong.

For me it was just the opposite, learning to continually trust people no matter how many times I've been let down. It's always better for me to assume the best rather than the worst. If I hadn't been able to do so, I would not have met my husband, and he would not have gotten me out of my abusive family situation, nor would we now have my son.

Funny isn't it how we differ in our experiences and what we chose to learn from it. I am so happy that you are living a better life now,I do still trust people just not ones that have repeatedly done me wrong. Thanks for responding

biggest leasson? learn from the mistake of others. so you're mistaken there, i will not do that. We have to learn so we will not do the same mistake they did and not suffer the consequences they had. there are times when even if we already knew what will happen and what happened to others because of what they did, we still do wrong things. until we suffer the consequences we never lean. why are poeple like that? they really want to experience it right?!

As trite as it may sound, the biggest lesson I've learned so far in life is to treat people the same way you'd like to be treated yourself. Pretty simple statement, but it's helped me a lot since I figured it out.

Yes that is a great lesson do onto others as you would have done onto you,but sometimes even when we treat people fairly they don't a;ways return that. Thanks
