As i've posted above just a chance to share wisdoms of our life.
1. If theres a issue deal with it don't run away
My aunt was haveing a huge arguement with her brother about her inhertance ( a lot of money ) and she thought the best thing to do would be run away from him .
He tracked her down in the end and she lost a lot cause of more cause of running away.
2. A fool and there and there money are soon parted
Your better off creating wealth instead getting it , once again my aunt just spent and spent on stuff you don't need . She probally wasted over a million dollars.
3.Don't talk about it , just do it
Your better off just doing it after all the more you talk about it the less likey that you'll do it. Dreams are nice but acheivements are better.
4.IF your odd it's not so bad
I remember how much i use to get picked on cause i was odd in school . Obviously i didn't find my circle of friends until a long time after my high school days. I love my circle now.
5. Beleive in yourself
I stated that i was going to win a cross country competion and everybody laughted at me. And i thrashed them by 5 minutes.
(it was a amazing feeling ).
I have other stories about that.
6. Fools rush in
A lot of experience's i've had with lady's ended being bad cause i didn't know there weakness
Love is about acceptance (it's not blind ).
7. Perserverence pays off.
I had so much trouble getting my apprenticeship but i didn't give up . That was over seven years ago and after all the trouble i had i look at the fact im finally on my feet with a house knowing im doing well for myself now ( i got told im a good tradesman on the last job made me feel great ).

1) Life is not about finishing the race, its about what you do to get there.
2) Respect is not earned with age, respect is earned with actions.
3) Sadness comes not from trying and failing, but trying and giving up.
4) Good guys finish last, but slow and steady wins the race.
5) Life is not bad because of the things that happen, life is bad when you deal with them wrong.
those are my thoughts on life, if anyone wants them explained, I'd be happy to

Just do it. The worst thing is sitting around wondering what might have been. And although you can do this on things you've done, wonder what might have been if you hadn't done them... you'll find its not as strong of a regret.
grain of salt 1: I don't regret things because I belive they happen for a reason
grain of salt 2: I'm bumming around in york right now with a boy for a month, so I must be at least a little crazy....
Keep your dream alive
Dreamin is still how the strong survive

Yes, you are definitely right, especially Puk with the part about running away. Wish I hadn't run away a lot of times...
But maybe I can add something:
- Do not leave a task undone beacuse you have not the 100%-solution, most of the times a 90%-one will work, and then it is finished.

Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
No, I'm dead serious. I've driven across the US twice, I've been stuck in the operating room...never pass up an opportunity to pee. Even if you don't think you need to.

What have I learnt?
Sometimes it just isn't fair. Moan about it a bit by all means, but ultimately it is up to you to live with it or change it.
If you take all the Ds out of Edward Woodward, you get a sound like eeewaarrrwoowarrr. It's a little bit funny.
You get better if you practice.
Travel. It makes you an interesting person.
Everyone has something to offer. Even people you don't like. They offer you the opportunity to complain, and learnt what not to be like.
Dance. Yes, like no-one's watching and all that. It's great and makes you feel better.
Hugs are great, and they cure all manner of problems. As does sleep.
My parents are usually right.

However busy you are, always find time to make inane commenents on discussion boards

You can tell an enormous amount about a person by their hobbies and musical taste.
You should never pass up the opportunity to have fun.
Sleep is for the weak, not the weekend (except Sundays which are for nothing but sleeping).
Money will never make you happy.
The vast majority of the people of world are constantly trying to rip you off.
The most important thing in your life are your friends.
Whenever I dispair at the lack of lucidity that most people seem to suffer from I just remind myself...
There is nothing common about sense!
mostly a muppet in need of distraction...

It is not better to give than recieve.
If no-one will accept what you have to give, then there is no purpose in giving.
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

On the contrary. Holding your urine too much can lead to chronic retention.
