An Inspirational Thought
The World Is Our Classroom
by Catherine Pulsifer
I recently read some of H. Jackson Brown, Jr's work. He has one piece that is titled, Live and Learn and Pass It On. Here is a partial piece of that work:
I've learned that...
I've learned that most of the things I worry about never happen. -age 64
I've learned that every great achievement was once considered impossible. -age 47
I've learned that you can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. -age 7
I've learned that if there were no problems there would be no opportunities. -age 19
I've learned that it doesn't cost anything to be nice. -age 66
I've learned that the important thing is not what others think of me but what I think of me. -age 38
His work got me thinking. If we kept a journal and each year on our birthday we wrote the most significant thing that occurred in our life, and what we learned from this, then we would have a legacy to pass on to our children. Think of your last five years, what one thing did you learn that you would share with someone that you love. Here are my thoughts on what I have learned:
THIS IS A GREAT CONCEPT:
HERE ARE MY MOST SIGNIFICANT THING FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS: read and write your own:)
2003: I've learned that if it seems too good to be true, it is:)
2004: I've learned that keeping up with image is harmful:)
2005: I've learned that true faith and friendship is truly a gift from God:)
2006: I've learned that the hardest step to take is the first:)
2007: I've learned that hard work pays off with time and persistance :)
take a moment and write down what you have learned ;)
