Lessons Learned

1. Wisdom does not always come with age. There are some incredibly stupid old people out there, and there are some amazingly wise kids.

2. You can't change people, they have to change themselves. And, if you can't accept that, you're going to experience incredible frustration.

3. Good things do happen to good people. Most of the time, it takes a lot of hard work to make these things happen. But, the most amazing things seem to happen all by themselves.

4. Try something new whenever you can. You might end up hating the results, but at least that will reinforce why you "always" do something else.
