Good is not forever - enjoy it while you have it. Bad is not forever - remind yourself that it will pass. Live your life in the moment.

Life is like a box of chocolates... But, when you get one you don't like just put it back missing a little piece of itself

certainly not THE "life lesson", but ranks right up there is 'those who cannot trust cannot be trusted'.

Mine is pretty overrated: life is unfair, so get over it.
It hit me half way during high school that nothing is peachy and sweet like I thought it was. I guess I was always a little immature so I never knew how people were capable of being cruel or doing something absolutely horrendous. I'm one of those "sweet, nice" girls and I guess people thought it'd be easy to take advantage of me and that's what people would do. They'd be like "Hey, Sparrow, wanna give me the answers to the test?" And I would and then I'd be the one feeling guilty and stuff. After a while, I realize it's a dog eat dog world and I have to look out for my own back :/ I hate doing that though because I like helping others

My dad upped and left my mother, my sisters and I one day without so much as a word so for a long time, I didn't trust anybody. I felt that people just came into our lives, made their mark on us then just walked away.
I since learned that not all people will just go and it is o.k to put your trust in people without feeling that they will go at any minute.
I also learned my father is not the kind of man I wish to be and my mother is the strongest person I know.

When a woman is decorating or doing anything that is perceived as "manly" (which is bullshit, just because a man did it in the past, doesn't mean a woman is incapable, more often than not, she's better), don't offer help, criticism, or suggestions, unless she asks, even then, be careful. The best thing you can offer her is a cup of tea, but only at the right time. Also, the old phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is pretty good life advice.
We Canadians are taught at an early age to NOT eat yellow snow. Most guys can spell their names in the snow too...a unique skill.
On a more serious level I am slowly learning to trust people, realizing that there are so many good people that come into your life. Don't build walls to isolate yourself from past painful experiences.

Mine is overrated, but : life isn't fair.
Difficult to say which is the MOST important because they all tie together somehow into a code of living. Develop. keep, and adhere to the highest ethical principles you can afford situationally; Be as generous with yourself as with others; Accept praise and criticism graciously, but keep to your own set of standards; In matters of emotions, don't ask why, any answer will ruin it. Keep your mind on the big picture and your heart on the details (or vice versa); Smile genuinely; Be empathic; Learn to accept that not everything can be analyzed or articulated; Walk the tightrope between ego and egoless-ness with grace. Enjoy Nature whenever you can; If they like it and permit it, offer thoughtful spontaneous and frequent "treats" to those you care for.

It starts with me. If I want something in my life to change, I have to make that happen. I have to take responsibility for my entire life.

There is nothing better in life than good sex, it will be in your mind always!
Life is about balance. love, work, friends, family (and many more) re all facets of your life. When one is out of balance then you find a way to counterbalance throwing you out of balance. These counterbalances seem like the solutions, but until you resolve the issue you will continue to be unbalanced. Finding your center or balance is essential to your existence.
