I've Learned

I've Learned
by Omer B. Washington

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 years to build up trust
and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life
but who you have in your life that counts.
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 you shouldn't compare your self to the best others can do,
but to the best you can do.
I've learned that it's not what happens to people,
It's what they do about it.
I've learned that no matter how thin you slide it,
there are always two sides.
I've learned that you should always have loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you'll see them.
I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done,regardless of the consequences.
I've learned that there are people who love you dearly,
but just don't know how to show it.
I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I've learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn 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 and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions.
I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I've learned that no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves go farther in life.
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 even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.
I've learned that writing, as well as talking,
can ease emotional pains.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life
are taken from you too soon.
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice
and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
I've learned to love and be loved.
I've learned...

Did you know?






:) Did you know that when you envy someone, it's because you really like that person?


:) Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most succeptible?


:) Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need some one to protect them?


:) Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are :I love you, Sorry and help me The people who say these are actually in need of them or really feel them, and are the ones you really need to treasure, because they have said them.


:) Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones that actually need your company and help?


:)Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?


:) Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?


:) Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?


:) Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?


:) Did you know that those who need more of you are those that don't mention it to you?


:) Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face?But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?


:) Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?


:) Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?


:) Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.


:) But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself , if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned, and you know that you can help, you'll see that it will be returned in two-fold

AN UPSIDE DOWN POEM!!!

Gentlemen and ladies and bald headed babies.
I come before you to stand behind you
To tell of something of which I know nothing
This Thursday which is a Friday
Their will be a meeting for the ladies
And all men are invited
You pay at the door take a seat and sit on the floor
And now for what I wanted to tell you

One bright morning which was as dark as night
Two dead bodies got up and began to fight
A deaf policeman heard their voice and came to rescue them
If you don't believe me ask the blind police man he saw it too.
