What I've Learned

It's Thanksgiving day tomorrow. Not much of calls are coming in. I just want to share another nice email forwarded to me in the office :)

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'd better know something.


I've learned
that it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it.


I've learned
that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.


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 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 learning to forgive takes practice.


I've learned
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.


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. Same goes for true love.


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 years you've lived.


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 you.


I've learned
that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every 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 have 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 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 sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.


I've learned

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 there are many ways of falling and staying in love.


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 writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains.


I've learned

that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.


I've learned
that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
