its always about the past my friend that molds me for who I am right now. I have been through hell and worst but it never destroy the person in me those trials I have in the past made me a better person and let me understand more why life itself is never fare. I come to appreciate things at there worst and open my eyes for the promise of a better tomorrow and never get myself stuck up with a certain problem that only time can tell. We traveled on this life once so I make it a point that each traveled path is worth while .... have a great day and I hope ypur doing fine... dont forget to eat even if your sad...

Very nicely put! Good ones! Appreciating things no matter what. Yes, a better tomorrow. Yes I have eaten, thank-you. Yesterday my BF realized I had not eaten the whole day, and he made me something to eat without asking me. This is new! We talked more today, things are looking better. Like you say, the promise of a better tomorrow. Take care Dan, hope you are doing well too.

That explains the hair I have been finding everywhere! I hope everything works out too. Yesterday my Mom told me my son wants me to go back to Holland. He is 22 years old. He wants to buy a house and bring me back to the Netherlands. He is angry with my BF because he has not been able to provide for me. I have always taught my son to respect and look after a women. He is know telling me, I am not living up to what I preach. He is right some how. We will see what happens. I am thinking about it.

hi margajoe i have learned : 1) let my husband be who he wants to be until he himself is ready for changes - well he has changed alot now days, he became more responsible and is giving up smoking on his own efford, he has also enrolled him self to continue studies (btw he is 48 now) 2) be the "stupidest" person to my in-laws - if they say the rabbit is red, i agree, if they say the cow eats chicken i agree - life is more at peace cheers

That nr.1 is so very true. I have just recently realized this myself. In my case it is my Boy friend. But, I realize I should not be wanting to change him. He will do that himself when the time is right for him. He is not my possession. I should see him more as a friend than as a perfect MY MAN thing. He is not mine as I am not his. So, I am still working on this, hahaha!Great that your hubby is changing and even studying again! As for nr 2. I know where you are coming from. Seeing as I was married for 9 years. But, no way am I going to keep my mouth shut all the time anymore. I will stick up for myself now. But the rabbit thing, I agree, I will do that. No sense in arguing about everything. hahahaha! Have a nice day.

the biggest lesson i've learned would probably be never rely on anyone with regards to everything like your emotions, physical being, and dont expect people to always be there for you. There are times, you are alone and you have to face it bravely.

Sad, but oh so true! You are your own best friend, is the way I say it. I have noticed in life, when I do try to depend on someone else. I get hurt. Or people say they will help and after a long while you find out it was only words. They mean well, but don't have the strength to really help you. Some people like it when you depend on them, but still won't do what they say. Oh well, we know better now. Thanks to the lessons of life. Great one!

Biggest and most valuable lesson I've learned in my 25 years of living is that...I am very rarely right about anything. It really hurts me to admit that. Being the stubborn fool that I am, I would like to believe I'm right at least 67% of the time. It more like low to mid thirties if anything. Keeping my ego in check, and not dwelling so much on mistakes that can't be corrected has helped to mellow me out a bit when I am wrong.

Very mature of you. That is very true. To be right most of the time, you can learn to listen to others before you say your side of the story. It helps for me. You are so right. Dwelling on past mistakes does not help, but your can take your lessons from it. That way it cannot happen (so fast) again. Good one!

I think that there are loads of lessons I have learnt from life so far. I think one of the most important lessons I have learnt is to always try to be yourself and not conform to what others might want you to be. Another important thing I have learnt is to cherish family and friends and never take things for granted, and to make the most out of what life gives us.

Yes indeed. Good ones! That one about being yourself and not conform to what others might want you to be, is a very hard lesson for me. But you are so right! Success to making the most out of what life gives us!

The biggest lesson for me is we need to be practical sometimes. We can't reach the goal we aim if we just sit and dream of it. We have to move and do what we have to do. Now I'm looking for a job to continue my study. God bless.

God Bless you too and good luck with your study. Yes I agree, to achieve something we have to do what it takes to get there. Not just sit and wait for it to come to us by itself. Good one!
