"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life
does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a
lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy
day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that
regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when
they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the
same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a
second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a
catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually
make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't
have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch
someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've
learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will
forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never
forget how you made them feel."
