Answer 1

Wisdom is a wonderful thing. That is why people always say "if I knew then what I know now, I would have a completely different life." Every human being has to learn the same lessons in life. Some are taught at an early age, some have to learn on their own (school of hard knocks), and some people never learn.

My favorite lessons:

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, so enjoy your todays.
The more money you try to hold on to and hoard away, the more financial disasters you will have.
The more freely you are with money, the more money flows into your life.
Everything you do or speak in life is like planting a seed in the ground. It will take root and multiply back into your life. Beware of doing wrong things. (Whatever goes around comes around)
The more you care about others well-being, the more others will care about you.

Look up on the internet "Law of Attraction." This is the greatest lesson you will ever learn. Also go to "thesecret.tv.com" this will change your life.

Answer 3

One lesson that I wish I could forget, is that men don't make sense and are usually untrustworthy. I don't want to feel this way about men. But they are so backward from women. They say one thing, but it doesn't fit with other things they say. Like this: My husband told me on this new job site that there aren't any women worth looking at. A couple of days later he tells me that he walked into the office of the job site and one of those women looked really nice from the back, shapely and all, but when she turned around, she was dressed like a hooker. Does this make since to you? It's like he forgot he told me that there weren't any pretty women there. And like he didn't like the way she was dressed. yea right. I could tell you dozens of things like this that just don't jibe. I've put complete trust in men only to find out that I was being nieve. I've only been married to this man for almost a year and I want to trust him. He gets extremely mad at me if I show any sign of a lack of trust and has even threatened to leave because of it. My ex-husband was having an affair with ANOTHER MAN right under my nose. It's hard for me not to want to try not to be so nieve again and trust a man who's stories don't seem to match up. Thank-you for your question and if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Other than that, I've learned things like: 1)If you're feeling down, make yourself smile. It makes you feel better. 2)Smiles are contagious. If you see someone frowning, smile at them. They'll either smile back, or wonder what drug you're on. 3)If you don't like the way a relationship is going, don't try to change the other person, change yourself. It helps you deal with the problem, and may cause the other person to change their behavior. 4)No matter how bad things may seem, try to be happy. It makes you live longer. 5)Drink lots of water every day. It also makes you live longer because it hydrates you, keeps your blood flowing smoothly, and gives you energy. Keeps you from having to go to the doctor so much and just keeps you healthy all the way around.
How many things do you want? I'll stop with that. Have a wonderful day!

Answer 4

never give up on anything....stay away from the people who put you down....dont let bad grades get to you, you'll have a 2nd chance....dont dwell in the past and dont worrry about the future, think about your present....do not have spicy indian food then drink 50 glassses of water and then go on a 4 hour road trip...be as confident as you can....miracles can happen if you pray....it doesnt matter what kind of clothes you wore in high school or what your status was, the thing that matters is the things you learned...dont start an argument with someone cause you'll regret it in the future

Answer 5

I've learnt to judge people a little more cautiously when I first meet them, instead of automatically trusting everyone unless they give me cause not to. Nice in theory, but I've been let down this way too many times.
Never to put myself into a compromising position, as some bugger is bound to take advantage of it.
Never to do anything I really don't want to do, especially if pressured.
I am responsible for no-one elses actions but my own.

Answer 6

I had a brain haemorrhage a couple of months ago. There was no warning... one second I was driving my car and the next I was in hospital. There was no warning and I wasn't feeling ill. Considering that 50% of the people that this happens to die I consider myself very lucky... and it just goes to show that you never know what is around the corner. Live each day as if it was your last.

Answer 7

Not to be so trusting
Your parents don't always know best
Live for you and no one else
Try new things
you'll fall in love more than 1 time
kids, change you for the better
work not only for $$$ but for happiness too
Who cares what people think

Answer 8

To always be yourself,thats how God made you.

To always be truthful,no matter what it takes.It pays at the long run.

Never compare yourself with anyone who is deep in misdeeds than you,as an excuse to do wrong.We all have different lucks.It might not work for you.

Answer 9

Life taught me to not believe everything at face value but to think for myself and question the motives of others, also if something looks too good to be true-it is!

Answer 10

As I have got older (I am now in my early 40's) I have come to realise that life is too short for petty arguments, holding grudges, wasting time etc.
