What was the last lesson you learnt ?

Sorry if it's a bit long ;)

A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story ~~~

(1) Not everyone who shitts on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shitt is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shitt, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

    That is true, indeed. These story has good morals.

    I have met people who helped in some things yet they're not my real friends. I have met people who did mistakes to me, yet they are not my enemies, and of course, if we commit some mistake, we better not say anything cos' people LOVE to judge others... only themselves are perfectz.. lol

    But I have to say one of my last lessons (speaking out of this text context) is that, if you don't care about yourself, really, no one will really care and try to change your life, even if you feel like krap.

    Also, if you don't help people "you're a selfish bastarrrd" but if you help all the time, people keep asking, and asking, and the line of people increase in a speed u can't even imagine, and when the day that you feel exhausted and want to chill for a lil, you become a "selfish bastarrd, who just do the things when you want".

    Moral: To be too good, it is not good in the practise because people abuse, and on top of that don't valorize you, neither understand your needs. They get used to you to keep being available that they forget that you're also a human and that you also need peace. Plus people like fights. Whatever is given is not valorized but what it's conquered its valorized. so let them conquer you.

    The last thing I learned was that, in general, an interaction of a quantum particle with it's environment represents one or more boundary conditions, and, if the interaction restricts the particle to a finite region of space, results in quantization of the energy of the system.

    Nice story :-)

    I learned a lesson just today: to STOP at the top of the parking garage exit ramp and WAIT for the damn pedestrians. Then go.

    I was distracted and wanted to go in front of this one pedestrian and FORGOT to remember that there would be CARS once I crossed the sidewalk. ugh! I pulled out and someone had to swerve to miss me and did she give me a LOOK!

    Mea culpa!! I'm sorry!!!! I WON'T do it again.

    Buy money spinning wisdom and sell it not. Money spinning wisdom is the principal thing when it comes to spinning out of the global money market real, cool, easy money for almost free. A good lesson I learnt.

    Abby . . that's one of my favorites . . . Here's another:

    "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

    Funny story ^

    Well I wouldn't call this lesson learned but it kinda is

    Okay so one time I got mad at my mom for something and I went to my room slammed my door and I had a razor for cutting stuff not to cut myself but I was so mad I tried to cut myself and I have/Had friends who do/did that and I told them it was stupid (not the point xD) okay so I grabbed it and tried to cut myself but when I actually tried it didn't work. Why ? cause it was old and rusty (kinda) so yea. And every time I get mad I remember that one time that I tried to do that and laugh.

    An old Cherokee story~

    (the versions have been altered slightly in some tales but the lesson remains the same)

    It is good VS evil

    Inside all of us are 2 wolves. One good,one bad.

    The one that prevails is the one in which you feed.

    I told this (in the longer version) to my children and they are telling it to their children.
