Life taught me that :
Life taught me
Not to put the most beautiful thing I have under my feet in
order to be high and reach the top.
·
To make experiences from my faults and success from failure.
.
¸.•’¸.•’¸.•’
Success is not how much effort you have done but how much it has affected on others positively.
·
¸.•’¸.•’¸.•’
Not to cry too much but to save my tears for another crying.
·
¸.•’¸.•’¸.•’
  • To smile to myself because I may not find who deserve it .
    ·
    ¸.•’¸.•’¸.•’
    Not to be on the margin of life because I’ll die without a title.
    ·
    ¸.•’¸.•’¸.•’
    Not to change my principles in order to live.
    ·
    ¸.•’¸.•’¸.•’
    There are important decisions that should be done whatever difficult or they do not satisfy others
    ·
    ¸.•’¸.•’¸.•’
    Hope You Like them.
    From My Reading
    Tell me what life taught you.

life taught me that 1) good friends are hard to find harder to leave impossible to forget.

2) ask questions and demand for answers.

Everyone is trying to accomplish something big,  not realizing that life is made up of little things.

Experience is a hard  teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but  by the seeds you plant.

I hope u like those too
Between the devil and the deep sea
To choose between two equally bad alternatives in a serious dilemma.
Where there’s a will there’s a way
When a person really wants to do something, he will find a way of doing it.
A burnt child dreads fire
A bad experience or a horrifying incident may scar one’s attitude or thinking for a lifetime.
First come, first served
The first in line will be attended to first.
A friend in need is a friend indeed
A friend who helps when one is in trouble is a real friend.
Discretion is the better part of valor
If you say discretion is the better part of valor, you mean that avoiding a dangerous or unpleasant situation is sometimes the most sensible thing to do.
A hungry man is an angry man
A person who does not get what he wants or needs is a frustrated person and will be easily provoked to rage.
Empty vessels make the most noise
Those people who have a little knowledge usually talk the most and make the greatest fuss.
A man is as old as he feels
A person’s age is immaterial – it is only when he thinks and feels that he is ageing that he actually becomes old.
Great talkers are little doers
Those people who talk a lot and are always teaching others usually do not do much work.
An idle brain is the devil’s workshop
One who has nothing to do will be tempted to do many mischievous acts.
An ounce of discretion is worth a pound of wit
It is better to be careful and discrete than to be clever.
Faint heart never won fair lady
To succeed in life one must have the courage to pursue what he wants.
A penny saved is a penny gained
By being thrifty one will be able to save up.
A rolling stone gathers no moss
A person who never settles in one place or who often changes his job will not succeed in life ; one who is always changing his mind will never get anything done.
As you sow, so you shall reap
One will either enjoy or suffer the consequences of his earlier actions or inactions.
Barking dogs seldom bite
Those who make loud threats seldom carry them out.
Better late than never
To do something that is right, profitable, or good a little late is still better than not doing it at all.
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush
Something that one already has is better than going after something seemingly more worthwhile that one may not be able to get.
Birds of a feather flock together
People of the same sort of character or belief always go together.
Call a spade a spade
If you say that someone calls a spade a spade, you mean that they speak frankly and directly, often about embarrassing or unpleasant subjects; an informal expression.
Charity begins at home
A person’s first obligation should be to help the member of his own family before he can begin thinking of talking about helping others.
Dead men tell no lies
( often used as an argument for killing someone whose knowledge of a secret may cause one loss or get into serious trouble.)
A great talker is a great liar
A smooth and persuasive talker may be a good liar.
Every cloud has a silver lining
If you say that every cloud has a silver lining, you mean that every sad or unpleasant situation has a positive side to it. If you talk about silver lining you are talking about something positive that comes out of a sad or unpleasant situation.
All that glitters is not gold
Do not be deceived by things or offers that appear to be attractive.
Eat to live, but do not live to eat
Man was created for a divine purpose and he has a destiny with his Creator – he was not born just to enjoy food.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
One should not risk everything he has in a single venture.
Every dog has its day
Everyone will get a period of success or satisfaction during his lifetime.
Every one can find fault, few can do better
It is easier to find fault in other people’s actions or methods than to do it properly or correctly.
Any time means no time
When an event is not decided on or planned earlier it will never take place.
Fair exchange is no robbery
A contract is fair as long as both the parties understand and agree to the conditions willingly; after a deal is closed neither side can turn around and say that he was unfairly treated.
Fire is a good servant but a bad master
Fire, like any other manmade tool or device, will serve man well only when it is controlled and used wisely.
