As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
Lessons begin very very early in life...a human being cannot help but learn. All our thoughts, good or bad, profound or simple, are based on what our minds have processed over the years.
to avoid having expectations and making assumptions. (i don't think anyone ever completely learns it. i know i haven't.) =^^= .../\...
For me it would have to be......to always expect the goods, even when someone is delivering the pony manure.
i really think that's a mistake, to expect too specificly, other then that diversity, and thus some degree of unexpectability is as close as anything comes to being expectable. i don't mean that there aren't probablilities and expectability of sequences, only that the're not locked into certainties either way. ever never seen anyone go arround expecting anything and not learn the hard way that you can't absolutely count on it. i mean people don't always actually learn this, but i have certainly always seen this consistently be what happens. you know, whatever their expectations are based on or based on the lack of either one. i know thats just inconsistent with what people believe, are taught to believe, but i'm just telling what i actually see. =^^= .../\...
Chicken soup for the hippies; Two girls grew up together, one very positive and happy, the other negative and unhappy...she could never see anything good happening to her, so one day the therapist adviced their parents that they should reverse their fortune for a while. Maybe if the negative one would receive better gifts she would heal herself from her negative thinking. The parents decided to buy her the best comptuter money could buy, to spare themselves the bitter complaints of the kids' part, but once she saw it she began complaining.."it will probably crash.. and I will lose all I put in it..it will get viruses" etc,etc...they just looked at each other surprised at her negative consistency. To the positive one, the parents brought a box, there was nothing in it except plain and simple horse manure. Whe the bright and positive young lady opened her gift, she light up and smiled a great big smile and said: "ok... ok.....where's the pony?!!"
