As you get older, What have you learned? (page 2)

That my life as an adult is too precious to leave in the hands of others.
That I prefer to grow up and take responsibility for my life rather than live my life in fear.
That the more dogmatic people sound, the less they know.
That we humans know extremely little about the "Big" questions in life and "buy" too easily other people's asurances about what life is about.
That life itself is not interested in whether I've "worked" it out: Life just keeps moving on, regardless.

That time is precious so make the most of what is left.

Always treating people with kindness and courtesy, even when they are in the wrong, is more important than being right or respected.

Not to be easily discouraged and quickly give up on things, because the difference between remaining an amateur and becoming an expert is simply TIME.

Money is not as important as what people imagine it is; however, love and relationships are much more important than what most people imagine they are.

Rage against the dying of the light. Love desperately.

- As much as you want to beleive something doesn't make it so.

- There's the way you see yourself, the way others see you, and the way you really are.

- Money may not be the key to hapiness but it is absolutely essential and certainly helps.

- Usually the hardest judge on you is yourself.

- In any given relationship, there's always someone that loves more than the other one does.

- The mind is the most powerful tool there is- use it.

- It is easy to lie to, and fool yourself.

- Everyone is unique and knows something you don't.

- We will never get all the answers.

- Evil must be fought and conquered.

- You can't go through life trying to fulfill someone elses dreams.

- Everyone and everything will die, all things must pass.

- No man is an island.

- Be ready to accept change at any time.

- Life sucks and reality is ugly, but its not healthy to live contrary to what you know.

- We each get dealt a different hand and must play the best with the cards we have.

- Life isn't fair.

- There's no such thing as lazy. Wer'e not designed that way. Depressed or not unhealthy maybe.

- We all have to make judgements based on what we know.

- I could go on forever but I'll stop now

The sole point and purpose of existence is to enjoy life to the maximum extent you can by bringing every dream possible into your reality (i.e. underwire bras and cross-country motorcycle trips) and to make a significant part of your existence helping those who are in genuine need of help (i.e. Fire/Rescue Service, Habitat for Humanity, Anti-War Activism, etc.).

That you die.

Even as the Bible says: {Part 1) "It is reserved for all men to die..."

Part 1 has been proven beyond all question.

" {Part 2}...and after that a judgment."

Part 2 has no proof whatsoever.

I can only read a few more books before I die. They better be interesting.
