I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. | |
I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” | |
I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. | |
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. | |
I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. | |
I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. | |
I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. | |
People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. | |
I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. | |
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. | |
