Lessons for life...

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart - cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless !
Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours
To love is to risk not being loved in return....
To hope is to risk pain...
To try is to risk failure...
But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing ^_^

A beautiful story that i wish to share with all of you.
A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint.
The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into a pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?"
The father went home and committed suicide.
Think about the story the next time you see someone spill milk at a dinner table or hear a baby crying. Think first before you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes; but the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Understand and love.

Donâ?Tt go for looks â?" it can deceive; Donâ?Tt go for wealth â?" even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile cozâ?T only a smile makes a dark day seem bright. I wish that you can find that person!

There are moments in life when you really miss someone that you want to pick him from your dream and hug him for real. I wish that you dream of that someone!

Dream that you want to dream; Go where you want to go; Be what you want to be; Cuzâ?T you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want in life. I wish that you be blessed with great courage!

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet; Enough trails to make you strong; Enough sorrow to keep you human; Enough hope to make you happy; And enough money to buy me gifts. I wish that you have enough!

When one door of happiness closes, another opens but often we look so long at the closed door that we donâ?Tt see the one that has been oppened for us. I wish your fingers were caught in the process!

Some addon of vetgia''s article :
Do you believe me? There''re smths about life I want to tell you.
1) Be strong enough to face the world each day, ''cause there''re things that only you can solve it!
2) Be weak enough to know you can''t do everything alone, ''cause a sheaf of chopsticks is always harder to break than a one!
3) Be generous to those who need your help, ''cause there''ll a time when you need their help!
4) Be frugal with what you need yourself, ''cause you don''t know when will you lose everything you have!
5) Be wise enough to know that you don''t know everything, ''cause you''re just an ant in this world wide world!
6) Be foolish enough to believe in miracles, ''cause sometimes only those miracles can help you in time!
7) Be willing to share your joys, ''cause shared joys are joy-double!
8) Be willing to share the sorrows of others, ''cause shared sorrows are sorrow-a-half!
9) Be a leader when you see a path of others have missed, ''cause you don''t know when you yourself miss you way!
10) Be a follower when you are shrouded in the midst of uncertainly, ''cause you''ll die if you don''t !
11) Be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds, ''cause you''ll alone when you succeed if you don''t!
12) Be the last to cricticize a colleague who fails, ''cause as his/her colleague, you also have your own responsibilities of his/her failure!
13) Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not stumble, ''cause maybe you stand next to a abyss!
14) Be loving to who don''t love you, and they may change, ''cause you know, another friend is always better than an enemy!
17) Above all, be yourself, ''cause you''re a person of your own, and I can''t think and actfor you everythings (although I try my best to help you!)
To live is to learn, to play, to interest and to love!
