I Have Learned From Others

This text, which I found during my evening browsing at the office has caught my attention. I found it so true, so I think it's worth reproducing here.
Happy reading! :)

#I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them;
#I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
#I've learned that it takes year to build up trust, & only seconds to destroy it.
#I've learned that you can get by on charm, for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.
#I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
#I've learned that no matter how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades & there had better be something else to take its place.
#I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're downhill are the ones to help you get back up.
#I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry.
#I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want they to doesn't mean that they don't love you with all they have.
#I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Some goes for true love.
#I've learned that maturity had more to do with what types of experiences you've had & what you've learned from them & less do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

#I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while.
#I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to forgive yourself.
#I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
#I've learned that our background & circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
#I've learned that just two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. & just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
#I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
#I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing & see something totally different.
#I've learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt & you will get hurt in the process.
#I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
#I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice & not hurting people's feelings & standing up for what you believe.
