The greatest lesson in life I have ever learn was that discipline will make you a better person no matter what. I was taught this from all my coaches that never stopped pushing me.
Don't let your fears keep you from doing things you want to do. If you don't do something becase you are afraid, you will regret it some day. I learned this from personal experience.
Dont hold your finger on a spark plug when someone pulls the cord to start it. My dad taught me that when he told me to do it to see if the spark plug what getting a charge.
my greatest lesson... good question. hard question. i dont really know what to answer... the only "lesson" which comes to my mind is talking to my grandpa about two years ago, when i was studying for my finals and was in such a bad mood, that i started complaining about school and all the learning... he said, if i dont want to learn it and dont believe in doing good , i will fail... in practicular, that when u want to do anything, u can do it... sounds maybe a little bit like a nike-comercial :) but anyways...
a life lesson i learned was never tick off kid 2 years older than you and 50 pounds heavier than you, because he'll punch you in the balls...that kid taught it to me it was when I was 5 or 6 years old.
STORY TIME! When I was very young, I had three bathtime buddy toys that I took with me almost everywhere, Mickey, Donald and Goofy. One day, my mom took me to see my great uncle on his farm. I of course, being little had tons of energy and wanted to go outside; my mom I took Mickey and Goofy as well. We happened to follow a stream back to the house and my mom stopped me, said "Be sure to hold on to your toys. If they fall in the river they'll swim away real fast and I won't be able to save them." Well sure enough, I thought my toys would love the stream. It'd be like a water slide for them. So I tossed them into the river, watched them get carried away by the current, and never saw them after that. That was the day I learned to listen to my mother.
kindness will always be returned tenfold. self experience and a hyvee costumer. @ben: south dakotas cold. have fun. @forrest: an ipod and barbeque sauce were never meant to be together so whyd you try?
I learned the lesson of pain when i was sledding in my back yard one day and i hit the fence and my tongue got stuck on the fence and i didnt know i was supposed to have someone bring hot water so i just tugged it off...and OW
The greatest lesson i've ever learned was that pigs are used to find truffles (which are underground by trees (usually Oak Trees)). I've learned this from EarthBound on the SNES.
I was probably 6 years old. I was watching tv with my dad down in our family room. He told me to go upstairs, put on my PJ's, and brush my teeth. I did as he said and went upstairs and put on my PJ's. I decided that I didn't want to brush my teeth so I didn't. I went back downstairs and my dad asked me "Did you brush your teeth?" "Yes," I replied. All of the sudden I started crying and said "Daddy I lied, I didn't actually brush my teeth." My dad didn't get mad but he said "Meredith, you need to be punished so tonight instead of getting sung three lullabys, I will only sing two for you." I cried and went to bed. He sung me two lullabys and I went to bed. I learned never to lie to my parents. (Or at least not start crying and confess that I lied).
BIGGEST LESSON EVER. The previous summer I was shooting for rabbits with a friend at his parents business...Cliff Ave Green House...well I saw a rabbit and obviously missed it and turned away, and my friend stopped for a second and heard some crackling...well at that time I was thinking, " I did not shoot a window dint I?" so we got binoculars out and I did accidently break a car rear window... I was nervous. So we made the right decision and went over to the sanford place right next door, and It was a doctor's vehicle. He called the cops over and 2 of them came. So my biggest lesson was NOT TO SHOOT within the City Limits anymore! I could of eneded up at JDC. (I thought I could if it was in my property or someone elses property with permission, you know?)Yes, I did have to pay for the new window...
I learned that life is like a box of Gamble chocolates, you'll never know what you get till you try it Also if you get a tooth paste filled chocolate you need to eat the rest of the box to get rid of the flavor. And when your face meets the ground....the ground is never nice
One of the greatest life lessons I've learned is to treat everyone with respect. I learned this lesson from my dad. He taught me to be kind to everyone I meet and not to judge anyone. This is a lesson that has made me a lot of new friends.
This is really a hard question to answer but a good lesson i've learned is that you can never be truly happy if you always hide your true feelings and personality. If you do, you'll just be double thinking everything you do instead of just listening to your heart and going with your gut. this lesson i learned over time by myself.
One of the greatest lessons I ever learned that if an older sibling tells you to do something, don't do it. Unless your me and are up for a mischevious night among the ninjas with your brother.
The greatest lesson in life i have ever learned is not always getting what i want.It was when i was in 7th grade i tried out for a cheer team and got on the one i didnt want but i stayed on the team. It truns out that it was one of the best teams i have ever been on. the lesson i guess is that your atttitude can change how things appear.i had a good attitude aand it was a good year.
As Dad taught me, You are in control of your happiness and if you want things to be bad they will be but if you find the best in every situation you will be happy.
I've learned the Golden Rule is pretty much the pinnacle of morality. It is completely straight-forwards, makes perfect sense, and if used correctly, should allow us to answer almost any question of morality. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Seems like the perfect way to live life.
@Meredith Your dad is hilarious. Seems like a suitable punishment. Haha.
@terry I hate to prove you wrong but shell shock is a temporary thing. He most likely had PTSD. If you don't know what that is you should probably look it up
I learned that on the day of a solstice, where night and day are exactly equal if you set an egg on the skinny point at exactly noon it will stay standing
There is no way for him to pull out an M16 because since the M16 is a military weapon it would have to have been stolen from a military armory or he would have had to be an active military area to be issued the weapon.
You have to give respect to get it. my mom taught it to me :)

ReplyDeleteforrest, that stinks, did she hit you with her purse?
ReplyDeletemy mom taught me to appreciate what i have cuz theres people who have less.
