The ONE important thing I learned this life was . . .

[Gaer]

What was it?

 

[Been There]

Never volunteer.

 

[Knight]

set reasonable goals

 

[Alligatorob]

1 Be nice to people, it costs you nothing, but can pay well.

Not sure much else matters... not that I can think of now.

 

[RadishRose]

Never complain,
Never explain.

 

[Packerjohn]

Never eat yellow snow (I'm from Canada and that is serious advice for 6 months of the year). All Canadians learn this sooner or later; usually by the method called "Trial and error."

 

[Blessed]

Youth is fleeting! Be prepared.

 

[Alligatorob]

Youth is fleeting!

Yep, it's done fleeted!

 

[spectratg]

Before getting upset, ask yourself will this even matter tomorrow or in six months or in five years. If the answer is no, just let it go!

 

[spectratg]

Find the Divine within, not within a church, temple, synagogue or mosque. Religion is believing in someone else’s experiences. Spirituality is having your own experience.
(Sorry, I know that is TWO not ONE.)

 

[katlupe]

Love yourself.

 

[Chet]

Learning how to avoid a confrontation with someone.

 

[Lavinia]

Juvenile nuisance is out of control. Even the police are helpless to do anything to stop it.

 

[Pepper]

What was up with all the drama? Oh yeah..............
"...tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"
that whole speech.

I should have been calmer.

You can't change anyone but yourself.

 

[Aunt Bea]

"Always wear clean underwear" - Mom

"Be good, and if you can't be good be careful." - Dad

"There are just two rules of governance in a free society: Mind your own business. Keep your hands to yourself."
- P.J. O'Rourke

 

[Pinky]

Don't sweat the small stuff.

 

[HazyDavey]

The older I get the more I realize I really haven't learned all that much, 'in the big picture' ..
Maybe that's where wisdom starts?

 

[Mr. Ed]

The ONE important thing I learned this life was . .the inability to get a different life.​

 

[Lara]

`
To enjoy walking away from things not meant for me. I don't have to have the last word.

[Paco Dennis]

All the melodrama we experience both "good" and "bad" are part of the miracle we call "LIFE"!

 

[chic]

Never volunteer information, and be kind because you don't know what burdens another person has to bear.

 

[Alligatorob]

The ONE important thing I learned this life was . .the inability to get a different life.

Yep, this is the only one we get, make the most of it!

 

[JaniceM]

Always try to do what you know is right, even if others don't 'get' it.

 

[Capt Lightning]

Choose your parents carefully.
