A very long time ago I recieved this e-mail and I have saved it all this time. I was looking at it today and would like to share it.
THINGS I HAVE LEARNT ...
( 1.)I've learnt-
That no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
( 2.)I've learnt-
That is takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to
destroy it.
( 3.)I've learnt-
That it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your
life that counts.
( 4.)I've learnt-
That you can only get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you better know something.
( 5.)I've learnt-
That you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
( 6.)I've learnt-
That you can do something in an instant that will give you
heartache for life.
( 7.)I've learnt-
That it's taken me a long time to become the person I want to be.
( 8.)I've learnt-
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may
be the last time you see them.
( 9.)I've learnt-
That you can keep going, long after you can't.
(10.)I've learnt-
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
(11.)I've learnt-
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
(12.)I've learnt-
That regardless of how steamy a relationship is at first, the
passion fades and there had better be something else to take its
place.
(13.)I've learnt-
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done, when it
needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
(14.)I've learnt-
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
(15.)I've learnt-
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the
best time.
(16.)I've learnt-
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're
down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
(17.)I've learnt-
That sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be angry, but
that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
(18.)I've learnt-
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest
distance. Same goes for true love.
(19.)I've learnt-
That just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them
to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
(20.)I've learnt-
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences
you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how
many birthdays you've celebrated.
(21.)I've learnt-
That you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or
outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it
would be if they believed it.
(22.)I've learnt-
That your family won't always be there for you. It may seem
funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and
love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't
always biological.
(23.)I've learnt-
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.
(24.)I've learnt-
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes
you are to learn to forgive yourself.
(25.)I've learnt-
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't
stop for your grief.
(26.)I've learnt-
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we
are, but we are responsible for who we become.
(27.)I've learnt-
That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't
love each other, and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean
they do.
(28.)I've learnt-
That we don't have to change friends if we understand friends
change.
(29.)I've learnt-
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could
change your life forever.
(30.)I've learnt-
That two people can look at the exact same thing and see
something totally different.
(31.)I've learnt-
That your life can be changed in a matter of minutes by people who
don't even know you.
(32.)I've learnt-
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.
(33.)I've learnt-
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human
being.
(34.)I've learnt-
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.
I've learnt a lot already and have a lot more to learn still.

Isn't learning one of life's greatest pleasures? I love every lesson, even the hard ones (at least once they're over).
