I've learned that...

Today I recieved a book from my Aunt entitled "Live and Learn Pass it on". In this book people age 5 to 95 share what they've discovered about live, love and other good stuff. I quite enjoy these cute kind of books, that inspire me how to live my life, and even though they are not the type of books you actually read page for page, and more just skim through, it is still extremely enjoyable, and I am going to quote some of my favorite "life lessons" from this book. Enjoy.

Well I know thats alot, but this book is full of beautiful, and witty thoughts about life. It was written and compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. The author had the idea on his 51th birthday when he wrote a list of what he learned himself in his life. It's a fascinating book, with plenty of ideas on how to live life to the fullest.
