What I Have Learned This Year...

Wow, the year is almost done and what a year it’s been.

"What I've learned during my last year is that life does NOT go according to plan. Life is so much more enjoyable and less stressful if you live it without expectations. Enjoy and try to make the most of life's surprises."


"I learned that it is possible to have a great point, open your mouth, and instantaneously forget everything you have ever known, including your own name."


"Invest time in the things you love and don't waste time and energy in work that does not interest you."

"You have allot to be grateful for so at some point you should give something back..to your family, your community, to the world."

"I learned that it is hard to get out of bed at 6:00a.m. everyday without a day off"

"I have learned how to manage my time, to roll with the things that aren't planned but always give priority to what matters most to me"

"I have learned if I left my apartment at 7:10am I would be on time for an 7:15am, I would not."

"I've learned not to sacrifice my own happiness just to avoid feeling guilty..."

"I've learned it's really easy to borrow money; figuring out how to pay it back is a lot harder."

"I have learned Accountability has its flaws. But it's the foundation for change."

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.

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 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 money is a lousy way of keeping score.

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 true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

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 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 credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I've learned that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
