I maintain an account in one of the social networking site exclusively for the so-called P.L.U. (people like us) group and a write-up caught my attention. Lemme share it to you guys...I am impressed the way it was written and I was moved...
We never get what we want, We never want what we get, We
never have what we like, We never like what we have, Still we live, still we
love, still we hope.......this is LIFE
GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.
Maybe
Maybe... we are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe... when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the new one which opened for us.
Maybe... It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe... The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything they have.
Maybe... You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.
Maybe... There are moments in life when you miss someone – a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child – so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
Maybe... The best kind of friend is one you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word...but when they walk away you feel as if it was the best conversation you've ever had.
Maybe... You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.
Maybe... You should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe… Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe.. You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; Don't go for wealth; even that fades. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

I've learned-
that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned-
that you should never ruin an apology with an excuse.

I've learned-

I've learned-
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
I've learned-
