I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:

a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

 

I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents,

you'll likely miss them when they're gone from your life.

 

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life.."

 

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

 

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.

You need to be able to throw something back.

 

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you.

But if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work

and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

 

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart,

 I usually make the right decision.

 

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

 

I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.

People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
