And I Have Learned More



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 you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do

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 it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned - that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I've learned - that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned - that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned - that learning to forgive takes practice.

I've learned - that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I've learned - that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

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 our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned - that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I've learned - that there are many ways of falling and staying in love.

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.
