We are always learning things. Do you have any wisdom that you've learned in life that you want to share?
I just shared this with someone that has gone through a hard time.
I want to pass on some things I've learned with all my friends here.
* Let's never drop out of school (the school of life) just because the lesson is hard or we don't understand the lesson.
* Let's never think we know everything.
* Let's stay humble, honest and hungry (for knowledge, wisdom, understanding).
*** One day, we will understand the sense of it all.
What would you like to pass on from your experiences in life?

That everything will pass and later you will see why it happened in the first place.

Yes, in time, everything does pass time! While we might understand why something happened, do you think we will always be happy with it happening?

I always try to tell people to be kind. I work in customer service and it's awful how mean everyone can be. It's not hard to be nice every once in a while.

Yes, kindness is a wonderful quality to have, spread and encourage. Problems can be solved so much better when people are kind.

@LadyDuck If we look, we will find. We have to accept life for what it is and focus on the positive.

Thanks! Closing our eyes also helps us to focus specifically on something and give it all out attention by shutting out everything else.

Wonderful! 
We can't always control what life will bring but we can control what we focus on. As you point out, we can focus on happy things. So, what made you come to this conclusion?

@1hopefulman Being in a bad marriage for way too many years. I feel like I wasted so much of my life being sad and miserable. Once I left I swore I would never waste another year of my life feeling that way. Now I am happy and enjoy every moment of life.

Today I read something from a message from a Grandfather to his grandson: "Knowledge is not heavy to carry" I wonder how long this wisdom has been passed to younger generations?? Good thought.. worth to spread to others!

That is a wise saying! God made us in a wonderful way in that as we collect knowledge, out brain doesn't weigh more. Thanks!

Thanks for your sharing. In fact compare to the latter life, I found that the school life was already the easy one. You just need to take care of the study mainly and you don't have to worry about many other things. I try to be positive. If things already go so badly, then namely it will not get any worse any more. Just hang on for a while and the life will become better and better.

"I try to be positive." Nice! If we are positive and focus on the positive things then our life will be much more pleasant. We cope better with the negative events. Above all, our hope is in God, who has better things in store for us.

It's not how much one has but what one makes of what one has is the root to happiness. I have many more such thoughts - my own.

Excellent! Why waste time and energy on things that don't matter. How did you come up with that?

@1creekgirl It's good to pass on valuable things that we have learned, sometimes the hard way. Live long and prosper! 3 John 2 (Amplified Bible) "Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]."

Unless we live in the desert, there will be rainy days and so it is wise to save. If one saves, they can then buy an umbrella for the rainy day. Yes, every rainy day will pass and the sun will come out tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing what you have learned in life. Yes, we are all entitled to certain rights and at times we must "fight" for them but not with violence. We can appeal to the authorities.

Your points are good ones.
Imagine if we really only did to others what we would want done to us. This would be huge-not gonna' happen as you know, but it would be nice.

Very nice! Yes, we usually reap what we sow and so if we want a good return we need to plant things that are good. How did you learn this wisdom?
