If two people who are "always right" get in an arguement no one is going to win. If this is you (generally speaking), just let them have the last word.

You'll never grow up or develop an adult philosophy as long as you think that life or other people "should treat you fairly." FAIR is a completely arbitrary concept and has no place in the real world beyond the athletic playing field governed by strict rules and judges. Even here, fairness is often overlooked.

NEVER EVER stuff a rubber band up your nose. Did it when I was three. Painful. I ended up spitting it up a few days later, because the doctors wouldn't do anything. DON'T DO IT.

Never give up.

Not to rely completely on other people.

To treat others the way you would like them to treat you.

Patience and a sense of humor bring about more cooperation from my children than anger and criticism.

To respect Earth Like most I believe the biggest lesson learned is how important OUR planet and the environment really means to OUR future existence and how we need to treat her with much more respect.

Not to be so fast to give your heart!!

Not to let events in the past keep me from being who I am.

The words of Napoleon Hill: Whatever the mind of man can dream and believe, it can acheive," and a complement to the words of Paul, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength," and as applied to my life, "There are no limits."

There is only one person in this life that you can truly rely on - and that person is yourself.

you reap what you sow

be honest

there is nothing worse than regret!

You cant really "know" anyone- including yourself. That lesson leads into Be patient with others as well as yourself, be selfless, Keep a couple bucks in your wallet for someone on the street who might need it more than you do.

Listen to your own self.

I have learned to be alot more independent I have also learned that--There is aLOT more importance to life than what people say about you.. You have to learn to not waste all your emotions on one unimportant thing such as friends that aren't really friends

People don't all think alike. You can't assume they understand you or that you understand them.

I learned that you have to appreciate what you have in order to obtain something new. Never go against the people who have showed you love and attention because at the end of the day, they're going to be there no matter what and they are always going to accept you regardless of who you are.

Never overlook something you really want in life.

Don't stay together for the sake of the children.

Advising others is bad

That what you mock and despise draws closer to you, eventually grafting onto your life as a cruel reminder that what you think today is what shapes tomorrows reality.

Judge other people by their intentions, and judge yourself by your results. (Most people do it the other way around)

Dont do Cocaine. No matter how indestructable you think you are,...it WILL ruin your life. And your wallet.

Never, NEVER trust a cop.

don't drink and drive. it's more serious than you think, i'm practically home bound for 3 years now.(it's going to cost a lot of money to get my license back). i've about lost my mind sitting in this house. I'll never take advantage of a privilege like that again.

Never marry without a prenuptual agreement, and never eat yellow snow.

DO NOT SMOKE!

Jealous and expectations don't get you very far at all.

I learned that I couldn't spend all my life trying to be compatible with something I just didn't like. I spent years trying to fit in the US Navy, but me being in the Navy was like a fish out of the water. I tried as hard as I could because it was financially beneficial. Good money and benefits, but I was absolutely incompatible with everything connected with the military.

To live life to the fullest and never take anything for granted. Live each day like the next is your last and never put off anything because "you think it can wait". Tell the people you love, you love them... you can never say it enough. Don't wait for things to come to you, chances are they never will... follow your dreams! And lastly, don't dwell on the little things, chances are someone somewhere has it alot worse... just be happy and don't let life pass you by. =^_^= Nikki

The world does not revolve around ME no matter how hard I try.

That all of my feelings, even the really ugly ones, are okay and normal.

I had to learn how to forgive myself and love myself

Do not Pee on electric Fences!

Love hurts.

God exists

To have respect for all, even if I don't agree with their lifestyle. So far, so good.

Do not expect too much because you never know what life is going to throw at you to change everything

Don't wait to say I love you to someone you love.

Never stop smiling, because you never know just who might be falling in love with it. And never give up.

Never to give anyone blind trust

Many times we are so concerned of being right that we forget how important it is to be going about in the right way. In other words, we loose much time and energy proving that we are right, when really, actions speak louder than words.

you only live once

everything happens for a reason and you have to take the good with the bad

Think before you talk or type!

That what goes around does not always come around. That the only person you can ever TRUELY count on 110% is yourself - never sell yourself short.

never give up never procrasinate too much

"Assuming" about people or events can be very misleading and cause great difficulties and misunderstandings. Find out the accurate truth.

To Listen.

Things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. You can't stop change, just adapt to it.

cannot trust anyone 100%

To surround yourself with only friends that you can trust.

don't assume. and don't take credit for someone else's work. also, i have become a strong believer in karma. what goes around definitely comes around! also, the easy way out is not necessarily the most beneficial. if you want something go for it - even if it takes a lot of work! also, don't lie and don't cheat! that ALWAYS comes back to haunt you and the guilt, OH, the guilt is so not worth it.

Love hurts...

Well, My brother kinda learned it for me... DONT PEE ON AN ELECTRIC FENCE!!!...the advantage of being the youngest of 6 kids...you get to watch all of the stupid thins your older siblings do, and hopefully learn fromn them!!!!

Not trust anyone just yourself because you don't know the other person as yourself

not to take advantage of anything specially the ones you love..

Never stand under a tree full of birds.

Don't belive what others say about you. Most of the time they're way off.

Never tailgate a car...espically if your going 45mph on a residential area...lesson learned

to respect other people but do not allow their ideas and opinions to influence my own. to stand strong, firm, and never give up.

Dolphins are evil.

Happiness does not cost a thing. So go and get it!

I have learned that you cant go back. never turn down oppertunities or invites. especially if it could be fun. there is nothing worse than regret. and never settle.

1> I have never known a successful person that hasn't failed at some point. 2> BALENCE is the key to my happiness.

To not settle for anything more than perfect.

that no matter where you live, every day you will see a cow....think about it.

Don't make friends with people who'll not help you in time of need

that to fight just to fight is usless and pathetic but to fight to protect and defend those that cant is a gift

To try my best at being 5 or 6 steps ahead of everyone else, to be able to figure out their game and avoid getting screwed over.

Keep your eyes open.

Complaining is a waste of time

If you Help Others then you get helped in return just the same

That carma is real and she's a real bitch.

#1 never underestimate the power of apathy, and #2 when holding on to grudges and memories...between love and hate, love carries more weight, hate fades. and after you're done being angry about the injustices that have been done to you, the good memories still seem to stick around, so...let go, and live...before you don't have a chance to so anymore.

Never trust a bloke!

If you view the world as a hostile place, you're right. If you view the world as a loving place, you're right. The world is how we perceive it.

never, ever give up.

Never fart around people, ever.

That every body is a person and have rights to make misstaks... I was 25 years old

Other people can teach you more about life and you then you can teach yourself

Never trust advertising representatives with big shiny rings and thick goatees. Never

Your life is what you make of it, so engineer your life and take responsibility

Your life is what you make of it, so engineer your life and take responsibility

I dont know what I want to do with my life. and..Maybe I dont need to know. Maybe I can be happy seeing where the journey takes me

always use answerbag./

ENJOY THE AGE THAT YOU ARE!! Recently I wrote the following article about this lesson: "Thank you, Ann Landers." My son was 12, my daughter, 11, and my baby girl was 1 month old when I read an “Ann Lander’s column” that is still important to my children, grandchildren and me. Her reader told a story that has, I believe, given me a special code to live by. The story began with Ann's reader's story about her mother’s death. She wrote that she accepted the task of sorting her mother’s clothes, household and treasured things. Little did she know that she would find a letter that her mother wrpte to her on her 5th birthday. Just the envelope with her name on it touched her heart and brought tears to her eyes. It was yellowed and crisp so she opened it carefully. She read words of greatest value about her mother wrote about her epiphany and the profound lesson that she learned that day: “My precious daughter: Today, you are celebrating your 5th birthday and I watched you play with your gifts and friends. Suddenly, I realized that the thoughts sweeping through my head, were wrong. I am writing this letter to ask your forgiveness and to make you a promise. “I realized that I have not been fair to you. You see, regardless of your age or you development, I wished that you were older and would quickly arrive at the next stage. When you were an infant in arms, I wanted you to crawl. When you were crawling, I wanted you to walk. When you were talking “baby talk” and could not tell me your needs, I wanted you to talk. And today, I wanted you to be older and more independent. “Suddenly, it occurred to me that I did not take special moments to enjoy you and what you were doing at each stage and age of your life. I have missed something that I should have treasured, and you have missed what I did not do. Please forgive me. “I promise that from this day forward that I will take note of what you do every day at every age. Now that you are 5 and it is the last year before you go to school, I will enjoy your age. When you are 6, I will enjoy you and what you do at that age. In other words, I will enjoy the age that you are and the stage of life that you celebrate, for the rest of our lives. “I love you very much. Mommy.” The article impacted my heart soundly. I clipped it from the newspaper, framed it and placed it on the wall in front of my kitchen sink where I read it every day and practice the message. I applied it as my children grew older and taught them to practice it in their own lives. When son was 12 and I knew that he would never again be at the crossroad between boyhood and adolescence. My daughter soon entered that same stage in her development. I taught them to: “Enjoy the age that you are, for you will never be that age again.” My baby was finding her tongue one day and I drew the family around to watch her focus intently while she swirled her tiny tongue around her lips as if it was something amazing. A few days later, she had forgotten the newness of her tongue and was working to get her big toe into her mouth. Together we enjoyed the stages of life as she became a girl and then a woman. When my grandchildren were born, I reiterated the message to their parents: “Enjoy the age that your child is, because you get only one chance to do it.” My 7 grandchildren also received the same message. In fact, the oldest among them chanted it with me to the next child and the next. Today when my family is together, all of those present join me in saying, “Remember, enjoy the age that you are because you’ll never be that age again.” Then, they laughingly tease me because I have said it so many times. I practice the same message in my own life. At 68, I know that I will never be this age again, nor have the same level of health---both body and mind. I know that I am on the downward side of life. When death is at my door,and it will be, I will probably remind my children and myself that we must find a level of joy as well as peace as I cross over to the spiritual side of this life. Then, I hope to enjoy that path and carry the same message with me every step of the way.

There's always more to learn.

That people are not as smart as they think, and that includes me.

That while I have the right to be angry and show my anger, I never have the right to be cruel..not by word or dead toward someone else.

There are nasty people in the world and no matter how nice you try to be to them they are just nasty.

No matter how many answers you finally figure out as you get older, there will be ten times more questions.

Keep the ones you love close to you. Call just to say hello. Family and friends are ALWAYS first. Count your blessings. You never know when one day you'll wake up and they won't be there... Or the day when you won't wake up at all.

High School does not matter.

If life hands you lemons make lemonade!!!!

that you shouldnt trust people that work at a school or places like that and that some people were not ment to live on earth!

You are never right there is always someone telling you are wrong
