36. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004.
Certain guys (and I guess girls) are not to be trusted……along w/the following quotes and/or statements:
To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
It is our choices, far more than our abilities, that show who we truly are.
It does not do to dwell on dreams, and forget to live.
If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals
What’s coming will come, and we’ll meet it when it does.
Never insult a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes; that way, when you do, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
We can only fly as high as the dreams we dare to live...unless we are a chicken
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
Yeah things happen for a reason, but you have to make things happen.
If it was your last day on Earth today, what would you do? Or say? Who would you tell that you loved them? Think about it.... and start doing it right now.
We could all take a lesson from crayons: some are sharp, some are beautiful, some have weird names, all are different colors, but they still learn to live in the same box
Never make someone a priority, if you are only an option.
Love is like glass so handle with care, for once it is broken, it can't be repaired.
"The problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem."
"I don't need to be wanted ... I want to be needed."
Perfection itself is the biggest flaw
Each of us needs a quest, and a person without one is lost to himself.
If you plugged your nose and your mouth while you sneezed, would it come out of your ears or would your head explode?
We Are All One Race- HUMAN!
We live in a dream, every single one of us, we're all dreaming, and that’s what puts us out to where we belong in life, the ability to dream
37. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
No song can sum up my entire year in all it’s interesting entirety……at least, none that I’ve yet heard |
