WISECRACKS from John Beks
I'VE LEARNED.........(Part 2)
I've learned.......
that to ignore the facts doesn't change the facts,
that when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
that love, not time, heals all wounds.
that the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround
myself with people smarter that I am.
I've learned.....
that everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.
that there's nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheek.
that no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.
that life is tough, but I am tougher.
I've learned .....
that opportunities are never lost: someone will take the ones you miss
that when you harbour bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere
that I wish I could have told my Mum that I love her one more time; before she passed away.
that one should keep his words soft and tender, because tomorrow one
might have to eat them.
I've learned ......
that a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
that I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.
that when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger
in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.
that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all happiness and growth occurs, while you're climbing it.
I've learned .......
that it is best to give advice in only two circumstances;
when it is requested and when it is a life threatening situation.
that the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.
