    What the most important lesson you ever learnt in your life that you would never forget?

    I learnt that good things come in small packages.

    It was in Sunday School (I'm not a JW never was). I was about 8 years old. It was time to exchange gifts for Christmas time. My best friend told me "make sure and pick her gift". To me it was very small wrapped up in gift paper. I deliberately did not choose it. I got some stupid thing, I can't remember what it was. Anyway the person who choose the gift my friend wrapped up for me got a wonderful watch.

    I was even boldface to ask for it. But ofcourse I didn't get it back.

    I would never forget it.

    Treat others as you would like others to treat you.

    Besides the golden rule, it was empowering and frightening to realize I can CHOOSE HOW I react to a situation. It's empowering because it puts me in control, it's frightening because it vests responsibility in ME and I can't really blame others.
