It also reminded me that patience is truly a virtue.

...one of the greatest lesson that life has taught me is the importance of appreciating what it (life) has given me... ...this attitude of gratitude has served me well when times were a little rough... and when I focus on that good stuff, the not so good stuff tends to loose it's importance.

...good post... reminds me of Andrew Carnegie's words,
"When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity."

There is always more then one right way to solve a problem. No mater what people think, there is always another way.
Blood is no thicker then water. If I ever had to chose family or friends I would chose friends hands down anytime.
Being positive in a bad situation is a waste of energy. Instead focus on what went wrong and how it can be fixed and put your brain to good use

Being positive in a bad situation is what get some people through it, surely that makes it worth it? |  | Distinguished Member with 12,590 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: BOT бaHДиT Experience: (50-6) 44ko, one earlobe |
