A lesson in life

Son, let me tell you just a few thingsI've learned about life:

I've learned that no matterhow much I care,
some people just don't care back.

I've learned that two people can look at the same thing
and see something totally different.

I've learned that your life can be changedin a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I've learned that it isn't always enoughto be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned thatsometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.

I've learned that we are responsiblefor what we feel,
no matter what others do.

I've learned that either you control your attitude,
or it controls you.

I've learned that true friendsaccept you as you are,
but that would never stop you from trying to change them.

I've learned that the smallest secret can change your life forever.

I've learned that you should always
tell your loved ones loving words.

Son, just one more thing,

I love you ...
