We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems 

today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. 

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way 

he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and

 tangled Christmas tree lights. 

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your

 parents, you'll 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 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 a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. 

I've learned that I still have lot to learn. 

I've learned that people

 will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but

 people will never forget how you made them feel."
