Life Lessons Nobody Teaches You


                                                         Listen to learn

You don't need to impress anyone

Be patient and persistent

Luck works if hard work runs

Don't bother what other people think

Don't make assumptions

Believe in yourself

Read books

Respect people the way you would like to be respected

No body care

Learn to love yourself

Take time to learn who you are

No work is beneath you

The more you give the more you receive

Do not be afraid to take risks

Don't make decisions when emotional

Start meditating

Don't' take the easy road

Out your best foot forward

You quit, you loose, you fail

Learn something new everyday

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
