Fifty things I have learned from life all these years (from memory hood till now! ):-

I have learned that:-

just don’t know.

2. The secret to living is giving not getting.

3. Anger, fear and shame can paralyze people.

4. it’s all just a State of Mind.

5. It takes courage and integrity to look at one’s self in the mirror of one’s
mind.

6. Music and Beautiful Places can rejuvenate and inspire the soul.

7. Insincerity and charm are deceitful.

8. "You can fool some people all the time and all people some time, but you can’t
Fool all people all the time."

9. It is easier to criticize than to empathize.

10. I have seen the enemy and it is “I”.

11. People do not like people who do not like them.

12. You can soothe the savage beast with kindness.

13. Rage can turn a gentle lamb into a rabid beast.

14 There is a difference between caring about what others think and fearing what
others think.

15. Of all the noble qualities of the human heart that righteousness is the most
precious.

16. People will tolerate evil and injustice until that evil has threatened or
harmed them.

17. I have learned that happiness or unhappiness is a by-product of one’s character.

18. Life isn’t suppose to be easy; it’s just suppose to be worth it.

19. It is not just what you know but what you do with what you know.

20. Self-doubt and ignorance breeds failure and that confidence and competence
breeds success.

21. Powerful people can fall; that no-one is invincible.

22. A winner never quits and a quitter never wins.

23. To keep on keeping on.

24. To err is human and that we are human.

25. Only through failure can certain lessons be learned.

26. Mercy and forgiveness are difficult but necessary.

27. Anger and hate are sisters.

28. You will never find what you’re looking for, until you know what you’re looking
for, before you go looking for it.

29. Attitude is more important than knowledge, achievement and accomplishment.

30. The squeaky wheel gets the grease but in the end it gets replaced.

31. Fools have loose lips and wise people keep their tongues bridled.

32. The following is true of many people: "What you are speaks so loudly that I
can't hear you."

33. True friendship does not come with a list of demands and expectations.

34. Freedom is not free.

35. "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he..."

36. Others reflect back to me my own attitudes and countenance.

37. You can't make others do, be, or want the things that bring peace of mind and
happiness.

38. It is wise to dis-associate one's self from those whose company or companionship
is unceasingly unpleasant or painful.

39. Those who claim to be victims are often victimizers and that victimizers often
claim to be victims.

40. Love, Righteousness, and Wisdom can break the vicious cycles of behavior people
get trapped in.

41. Pain is a great motivator.

42. No matter what painful experience or circumstance we find ourselves trying to
struggle through and survive, that this one truth is absolute: "That even in
the darkest night a candle glows."

43. Pain can cripple. It either makes us better people or bitter people.

44. Either you control your thoughts and imagination or your thoughts and
imagination will control you.

45. There are times in a person's life that when there is no human capable of
relieving the intense anguish that comes upon men at desperate times. There is
only God...

46. In order to rise above mediocrity, it is necessary to overcome one's "Self".

47. We are all the same...only the details are different.

48. Go on….Going on.

49. God is “Rest is not”

50. Wake up your promises and keep up your words.


AND HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE

Lesser than my Father..... but Greater, Not

so Happy but much Happier.





Yet more things are left out to learn in life and let me see if I will be able to make it up with the divine grace of God?
