What is the greatest lesson you have ever learned?

Probably to trust in others. it is something I have always had trouble with, but I've gotten there in the end!

We all have life lessons that we learn from our mistakes or from others mistakes. That's what life is all about. I can't think of any one in peticular that I have learned from, though. Just maybe being too trusting of others. I have been burned many a times by trusting too much. Okay I can think of one, I met a new friend through another friend and that person ended up stealing my money out of my wallet when I asked her to keep an eye on my purse while I went to the bathroom. Now if someone else came along they would of stole my whole purse, and not just opened my purse, took out my wallet, opened it and stole my money, then close my wallet and put it back into my purse. No-one would have that much time without being seen by her.

The greatest lesson I have learnt in life is to not get into another relationship and to stay single. I have wasted 9 years of my life through relationships which have been both controlling, manipulating and abusive. I am a stronger man through it however but it has taught me one heck of a lesson, to keep my independence, my freedom and sanity is to spend the rest of my life alone, I will die single and I wouldn't have it any other way, it's just a shame that I wasted so much of my life coming to this conclusion.

I don't think I have a "greatest" lesson. I believe mine would be that life is evolving and I must evolve with it in my own fashion. There is also learning to trust my own instincts above all else. Meet general society and frames of mind with some or a lot of skepticism. A human's "impossible" only means no one discovered a way to make it possible yet. When one refuses to learn one refuses to live. Everything has a dark side (or downside). And about yours blue, thats exactly how I feel. And hopefully people know it or will take it to mind with my responses.

hi blue. i miss responding to your discussions. one of the lessons i've learned is never trust people easily. there are lots of them who are good in acting just to earn one's trust easily - like crying or making stories that will make you pity them. and as soon as they do, they'll borrow money or anything without paying, or even backbiting you.

Don't ever trust somebody else easily. Even true friends betray us at the last moment.

The Greatest Lesson I've learned is no matter how big problems and issues may get in life ,the one person who can bring me out as a Survivor is God all I need to do is just put all my trust in him.

Not greatest lesson, but my favorite: Never get mad, but always get even. I've learned a lot of things and still learning. My hunch is not always right so sometimes I listen to it, sometimes not. All I have to do is take everything with a grain of salt and always have plan B just in case. Of course then sometimes I fail that one too

I think one of the best lessons I learned in life is never trust people easily. Even a close friend who wants something from me concerning money matters have failed to be trusted. She knew I have present money problems but still I managed to lend her a big amount and return the promised date. But she never returned. It has happened to me many times and they are even my friends. As the saying goes, "If a man deceives me once, shame on him, if twice, shame on me." I should not easily trust people again.
