Hey Everyone :)
Well I just remembered that there was a thread about life's lessons that Monica made and I thought I should make a New one since we've got many New Members plus that thread is dead.
Anyways in this thread you tell us something you learned from life perhaps a mistake you have done and if you don't mind you can share the story with us :)
I hope some at least participate.
Here is the Original one :

that it's good to share something from the heart
whenever we get the chance. I just did. I shared
these life lessons with you.
I got the idea from an email about life lessons and so I added some of mine. =]
Alpha's :
I've learned...
... that it doesn't matter how much you talk, but how you act on your words.
... the whole world cannot make the difference one person out of six billions can.
... doesn't matter how surrounded you are by people, when you die, you are alone.
... life is hard, it's you who are soft.
... people call non-sense what their own brain cannot understand.
... one day, I will have be in the place of those before me.
... no matter how many goods you do, only the bad is remembered.
... shouting does not give strength to words-- they can stand on their own.
... the people who stay when the times are bad are the ones who truly care. When the time is good, it's we who do not care.
... staying alone is better than with someone who sees only himself.
... no matter how much you help, when you need it back, you're alone. First lesson, learn to help yourself and then, help others.
... you can not stop people from speaking bad. Most you can do is not to give it undue care.
... no choice is bad, unless someone else makes it in your place.
... everybody is unique in the world. If you feel unwanted, it's because you're trying to take the place of someone else.
... happiness are the small pebbles you find on your way. Forget the rocks.
... never underestimate people. You just don't know them.
... questions are vital. But sometimes, you have to learn to use the full stop.
... even love is not as important as understanding is. Look for the right way.
... you will take one thousand years to learn with a smile what you can learn in one second just by shedding a drop of tear.
... we all search out for the stars at night, and forget, that the Sun is a star too. You don't value what is in front of you unless it goes somewhere you cannot reach.
Thank you for sharing Mony. :)

Being an adult can be fun when you are acting like a child.
Love has nothing to do with looks, but everything to do with time, trust, and interest.
Laughing, crying, joy and anger… All are a vital. All make us human.
The greatest truths in life are uncovered with simple, steady awareness.
Greed will bury even the lucky eventually.
Bad things do happen to good people.
Paving your own road is intelligent only if nobody has gone exactly where you are going.
Uncertainty is caused by a lack of knowledge. Hesitation is the product of fear.
Time heals all wounds… regardless of how you feel right now.
Most of the time what you are looking for is right in front of you.
Your health is your life.
Chance is a gift, so act on chance when given the opportunity.
Kindness and hard work will take you further than intelligence.
People deserve a second chance, but not a third.
Take lots of pictures. Someday you’ll be really glad you did.
Money makes life easier only when the money is yours free and clear.
Carelessness is the root of failure
Your actions now create memories you will reminisce and talk about in your elder years.
Stepping outside of your comfort zone will put things into perspective from an angle you can’t grasp now.
Motivation comes in short bursts. Act while it’s hot.
Purposely ignoring the obvious is like walking backwards toward the enemy.
Taking ownership of failure builds the foundation for success.
First impressions are completely worthless 50% of the time.
Personal glory lasts forever.
If you never act, you will never know for sure.

__ face the truth ! u will find a lot of ppl who r selfish,run behind u only in ur times of glory , treat u as a step to move forward etc. but u will only find afew / almost none treating u with the dignity n love u deserve ! :(
__ actions will be forgotten bt wrdz will never be ! :-X
__ don't juge ppl in the first few meets ! ppl r never like what they appear to be :o
__ never let any 1 take crucial decisions 4 yuh ! cuz if it goes wrong the entire life u will blame somebody else 4 the stuff happened ! >:(
__ think b4 u act ! dnt jump outta the plane without ensuring that u carry a parachute ! ???
__ take risk ! make mistakes ! cuz thats the only think that will make u wiser n stronger ! :)
_ have dreams ! even if they r impossible ! cuz u only realise dream if u dare to dream !! :D

a few mor e:D
___ never lose to others in pity ! u will regret it 4 life time cuz nobody's worth it
___ dont expect , life is a road full of unexpected turns, so be prepared !!
___ i dont believe in the saying " Never complain abt others , change urself if u want peace bcuz its easier to protect ur feet with slippers than to cover the whole earth with carpet " sacrificing and adjusting to the circumstances wont keep u happy s, its not always the solution
i rather believe in "change urself to change the world " , be strong enough and fight ur way through to get what u
___ learn to move on,cuzu have to, people come in u rlife with a purpose, either to teach u something or to learn from u and when the purpose is done they go off. there is nothing like ppl wil stay together forever cuz forever doesn't exist
:D :D

i learned one thing that when you are angry don't talk to anybody
else you will remove anger on that person so wait till you cool down
-
The old Japanese saying:
"Do not act when you are angry"
-
The old Japanese saying:
"Do not act when you are angry"
you are right stylish

Does anyone want to add more ::) ?

Whatever happens is for the good, its just that at that time you don't realize it.
Self-respect/respect is greater than love.
Never expect people to be true to you, especially when you know they are not...Don't hope that they will change
Give someone a chance only once
Always put yourself in others' shoes and then think
(this is a rule in my life) :P
Have exam 2morrow so will think about what more I have learned and then post :D

Bad things happen to you so that you do not repeat them to others.
Living in a society, intertwined as it is, is participating in a never-ending multiplier process.
Choosing to multiply the good that is gifted on you, or the bad that has fallen, means extending it to a generation that will perpetuate it to generations and generations.
So, even if it goes off notice, you do play a part in making mankind what it is.
To stay is a choice, but to leave is often a compulsion.
You admire people when you know them from far; it often translates into pity when you move to get closer.
I would walk on the same path forever, if it had curves and bridges here and then.
We set out to make decisions, but often find ourselves making compromises instead.
If you are depressed with things that do not threaten to put on stake your tomorrow, then you make a fuss about everything.
A ball never bounces high, until you hit it hard to the bottom.
Before you loathe someone who lies, seek to understand his reasons.
The most cherished dreams are often those reality takes far away.
Throughout, you'll find people who will use you and consume you. Fair enough, that shall help you to decide with whom to stay.
Love never fades... it just gets erased.
The only thing you have on Earth is a story-- your story. You write it as you live it, but often, fail to complete it.
Pain can either die or kill, depending on your choice.
Self-dependence is not arrogance. It's mere survival in a world that still follows the law of the jungle.
I love animals, precisely because they are different from us.
Shout, shout, as much as you can.
People never hear, they listen.
The power to judge is God's.
Where you've left behind, your power stops.
You err if you hate,
for it never changes anyone's fate.
More than a crowd is worth a man,
Who never will cart off his one hand.
Sing all the songs, play all the games,
You won't stick for long, if your lessons were lame.
There is a will in every way,
If there is some learning in everyday.
People will go just as they came,
But will leave behind a boon or a bane.

The most important thing i learned till now is:
You can always be happy no matter what happens,there are some bad things in life,but remember that their is always people with conditions that are worse that yours ^*
-
I laugh when am sad.
You're wrong; you call me mad.
As a child, my mother taught me:
People can cry when they are happy. :)

: O .. i have learnt nearly all the lessons posted above.
if a person is beng nice.. it doesn't always mean that they are trustworthy .
never break anyones trust if they tell you a secret don't go on and spread it .. because it might happen to you..
and you won't like it .
Never judge anyone from their appearance .

I have learned that:
- Patience and Forbearance are the greatest attributes a person can attain
- it is near to impossible for humans to 'quit worrying' about anything. So, the best thing to do as Mary C. said, "Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway.”
- Lying is sweet and easy and truth will always be bitter
- Giving up something or someone you dearly love is 'agony' but if you do it for a greater cause - worth it! ;)
- Sometimes, parents make things hard when they think they are making life simple for us. Love them, anyway.
- Plan your life as much as you want, it'll never go your way. God has done that job for you and everything is predestined
- the best way to learn a lesson is by making mistakes ::)
- heart break is common occurrence in humans. If you never had your heart 'broken', then you are probably part-robot
- 'love' is not a feeling that can be controlled
- even the 'closest' of friends will leave someday. Better not to depend on anyone
- no matter how 'understanding' you are, you can never be sure of what someone is thinking or feeling..never
- life is not hard; we just dont know how to take it easy :P
