I have to say my view is that things actually don't happen for a reason - having gone through death of my 2nd wife my philosphy din't change.I'd also say I've seen a lot of people who don't reap what they sow at all.

So I guess mine is;

1. Bad things can happen
2. Good things can happen
3. It's nothing personal

I guess at this point everyone has learned different lessons!
I appreciate your answers acuriousfish.

On "you reap what you sow". I been giving, just ain't been getting.

So my three:

1. Don't cut your bangs after three drinks. You really aren't a better hair cutter at this point.

2. Just because you think you can sing - You CAN sing you just can't sing well.

3. TAFFY IS GOOD!!!

1. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

2. If you give them half of what they want, they will always come back begging for more.

3. Don't sweat the small stuff.

MK haha.. I hear ya re the bangs lol
It's what's inside that counts
Smiling makes others feel good and in turn us
Forgiveness is one of the hardest but most important things we can do for ourselves

This is life. We are all fallible beings. We often do wrongs to others. When I find myself at fault, I do what I call the "Three A's"

Acknowledge - precisely and clearly my error

Apologise - without reservation or qualification. "I'm sorry, but...." is NOT an apology. (for example: "I'm sorry to interrupt you [but I am going to anyway, there's nothing you can do about it if you are polite, and I simply don't care if you accept my false apology or not.]).

Atone - Do WHATEVER IT TAKES to make right my wrong.

-KK

All the worry in the world won't change the outcome of any situation!!

The only time I can fail is the "last" time I try!!

Don't let life dictate who I am!!

Discipline ( learn to control your emotions and reactions)

Respect ( respect all life until given reason not to)

Integrity (ABOVE ALL ELSE... To thy own self be true!!!!!... Never give up what you know in your heart to be true)

I think everybody just about covered what I have learned

1. In the end we can't take anything with us, so it is best to leave our love and memories with those we leave behind.

2. True success is only based on health and happiness.

3. Take your medicine not matter what.

Good answers. As usual I like what fish had to say. Bad people definately do get away with bad things all the time. Good things do happen randomly whether you pray or not. Don't take it personal, most people don't do it to hurt you that's just your interpretation.

1. If its not gonna matter in 20 years then it truly doesnt matter now
2. Being in the minority is usually an ok place to be
3. Life truly needs to be enjoyed not just lived
4. Just because its legal doesnt make it right and just because its against the law doesnt make it wrong

OOPS I had 4 sorry

life is hard for you and everyone else sometimes
relationships are hard, but they are usually worth trying to keep
no one is perfect
we all need to help each other if we want to make it

And my best learned experience ever thanks to my deranged (but none the less itelligent mom) life is not fair, it wasnt meant to be and if you learn it early on life is a hell of a lot better. Sometimes you are the winner some times you are the looser but it all evens out in the very end

If you think someone is talking behind your back, they probably really are.
