rodolpho: What's the greatest lesson you learned in life?
.....Mine was taught to me by my favorite Dutch Grand Mother when I was in my young teenager....The 'K.I.S.S' theory...'Keep It Simple Stupid'...Bless her....
If I can comment on what I've learned so far...Live life to the fullest, it's too short and don't spend so much time seeking wealth and success that life passes you by.
If I must work hard, suffer through blood, sweat and tears to obtain, achieve, acquire or accomplish just ONE thing in life, I will want to take it with me when I pass over.
My greatest lesson is that when one stops being open minded - one stagnates .......... I have some interesting things being thrown at me - and going against my better judgement - I'm going for it !

The greatest lesson I've learned is to accept that I cannot make things happen my own way emotionally - and that however much you love somebody, you cannot force them to love you or rekindle a love they once had for you.
It sounds weird, but learning to accept reality and 'give up hope' releases you from your own torments and then life can be good again...... but ONLY once you have 'given' up all hope and can find some inner peace.

True, Gozo...and yes, all is well on my end, as always.
