reflection on 37 years of living

well last Friday was my 37th birthday . what was going through my head for a lot of the day was what have i learnt in 37 years of being here . well i am not sure my life lessons are very deep but for whats it;s worth here are 10 of them .  :

1: be yourself .  some people will hate you some people will like you but you are valuable as you are .  .

2: try not to let the opinion of those that hate you become your opinion of yourself . even nice people can have an off day and be snappy !

3: grow older but don;'t grow up !

4: the best way to get revenge is to move on and  show the person that you can live without them .

5: you get more good things by being polite then by being rude .

6: watch something that makes you laugh every day . with the world in recession  laughing is vital . try not to take life to seriously . i know parts of life are serious but  do not take all of it that way

7:  read a book . it doesn't have to be anything of educational value . reading is cool . you might find out a few things you never knew before

8: tell the people you love you love them . comes a time they might not be round to hear it .

9:  even if you don;t agree with it try and see a bit of the other persons point of view .

10: learn from your mistakes .then hopefully you won;t repeat them .

  3. Happy birthday! I'll be 37 this year too. We aren't old! :) I like your list. It is all completely true. You could write a book based on those ten things. I'm an especially big believer in #6 about laughing everyday. I try to do watch a funny little something everyday and just laugh out loud. It does wonders for the mood and makes each day just a bit better.
