I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel ... (the devine miss Angelou ) Truth

I have learned when you fall; get back up... I have learned that when bad things happen; learn from it.

(the devine miss Angelou ) That^^^ is in my profile...I love Maya... I have learned this... Before you talk, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Ernest Hemingway~ And this... Unless you risk going too far, you will never find out how far you can go...

Sometimes those messages from childhood do not always hold true as an adult for at times you can try your best..do your best,persevere and still fail at something and sometimes there is no why. nothing you can point your finger at to say see if I had only done this better I would have succeeded life is not always so black and white

That I'm just a human being, and I don't know ***. This was the first step for me, toward bettering myself. Exactly, what YOU learned *

A reporter was interviewing Edison and asked, 'How did you ever stick to it? You failed 10,000 times trying to make the incandescent light bulb?' Edison's reply was classic, 'I didn't ever fail. I simply found 10,000 things that didn't work.'

Reflecting on one's own actions and words is important. Don't let emotional reactions lead your actions. You can't change the past. The present is gone before you realise it's there. The future is all you really have. While I am nothing in the vastness of the universe I can still make a difference in the lives around me. "Be excellent to each other." -Bill & Ted (Who knew a movie like that would have a good point?) "In the passing of darkness, the light will come again." -I don't remember who said this. "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I�� I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost

I've learned that I'll never want another social worker ever again. Making me leave a place, knowing full well that it was already breaking my heart, is a very massive mistake, for me AND her, and her sordid little company. I wasn't mentally ready to leave, and that should have taught her something, but you must stand up for what YOU want, not what these socially workers want. I've been led to believe that they're just "trying their best to help vulnerable people". Funny how those people only end up worse after the social worker leaves the client. Always listen to what the patient/client wants. No wonder half of the world is screwed. There should be a ban on social workers. .

Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence, yet it is the one ingredient needed to change the world. Bobby Kennedy.
