<italic><bigger>Hi Everyone!

</bigger>I'm sorry, I used colored text because of my excitement in
availing the different features of Eudora Pro 3.0 e-mail software. This
is a re-post.

Here's Part 10<bold><color><param>0000,0000,8080</param>
</color></bold>of "The Things I Learned in Life" series. Let's try to
reflect and "learn more" from our life experiences and use the lessons in
creating better situations in our day-to-day living. It will be a wiser
approach than to be negative about a lot of things.

* I've learned that to succeed in anything, we must think

positively.

* I've learned that in life we have to struggle and grow. It

is a bad day when we stop striving for some high and distant

goal.

* I've learned that we shouldn't brood over our past mistakes,

no matter how black they may be. We must instead admit our

faults and face the light.

* I've learned that it is the kindness of our friends that

helps us bear our burdens and it is our courage that keeps
us

going in the face of an overwhelming difficulty in life.

* I've learned that in this world I'm not the only one who is

called to suffer and bear disappointments, there are count-

less others who are in a far worse plight.

* I've learned that the wear and tear of the years rob us of

our resilience and vigor. As we grow older we do well to

learn to take it easy.

* I've learned that it is not what life brings to us but what

we bring to life that determines the worthwhileness of life.

* I've learned that to succeed in any endeavor, one must set

up a goal and persistently strive to reach it.

* I've learned that love is not really blind but it is
jealousy

and hate that are blind. Hate refuses to see and jealousy

doesn't want to.

* I've learned that we often expect too much from others but

we often fail to realize that others also expect something

from us in return.

It's up to you how you make up anything from these learnings. Seek or
visualize what you believe are the better examples from your experiences,
from what you have observed, and from what you have heard or read. Best
wishes!
