Life Lessons They Don't Teach You In School

Life can be unpredictable and throw you some curves be prepared by being open-minded and maintain the positive mindset that welcomes the life lessons offered.

The most boring word in any language is "I". It's wonderful to be self-confident and self-sufficient, however, it's not all about you. There is nothing more monotonous than hearing someone talk about themselves and their accomplishments endlessly. Being self-centered is not the same as having self-confidence.

Forgive yourself, your friends and your enemies. We are all human.  Holding grudges and past hurts only serves to prevent us from enjoying life to the fullest.

It's okay to fail. Everyone has failed at one time or another. Failure is a great life teacher. Thomas Edison had a great attitude towards failure. He said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Don't be afraid to show and tell others you love them. Life is short, so learn to give and receive love. Love and be loved.

Live so that there is only standing room at your funeral. Be the best spouse, parent, friend, boss, worker that you can be and leave the world a better place than you found it.
