What are some things you've realized about life as you've lived?

1.work hard and you WILL be rewarded

2.treat others with respect & you will be respected in return

3.dont be your kids "friend", they need you to be their parent. they will thank you one day!

4.dont buy every little thing you WANT. if you do, you'll have a bunch of little things, and nothing substantial (like a home)

those are just a few!

People come and go in your life no matter where you are and people grow apart. So it's more important to find a couple of people that you care about and they care about you and hold on to them.

Social status only ever applies to you if you believe in it and willing to be a part of the system. So.. forget the system because it honestly doesn't matter.

Main point: be nice to people and people will be nice back. Give love and you will get love back. Whatever you put out will come back to you.

People will take advantage of your kindness

People will borrow money and never pay you back

People will stab you in the back

People will act nice to your face, but when they do not know your within earshot, they say mean things about you.

You always take the high road and never let these people tear you down.

The most simple people can be the most complicated, that everything good is dependent on how you feel for the majority of the time.
