Prije 2-3 dana sam dobila email od prijateljice sa college-a, jedan od onih forwards koje nekad znam i ne otvoriti ili otvorim pa vidim da me ne zanima pa odmah izbrisem (brisem poruke iako imam gmail - jednostavno ne volim clutter cak ni kad otvorim labels, a ne samo inbox). Ovaj je bio malo drugaciji, sam naslov "50 zivotnih lekcija" me privikao da provirim o cemu se radi, mislila sam da su mozda neke male smijesne fraze ili slike. Na moje iznenadenje pronasla sam 50 "lekcija" koja je napisala Regina Brett (sto meni nije nista znacilo, tek sam kasnije googlala da vidim ko je ona) i koje su mi se veoma dopale.
Izdvajam samo neke, one po kojima ja vec dugo zivim (ili pokusavam da zivim):
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
Over-prepare, then go with the flow.
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
Forgive everyone, everything.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
Believe in miracles.
Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful, or joyful.
All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
