After years of thinking and living one must realize a few things:
1. You enter the world alone and you exit alone.
2. If you have to choose between friends and family, choose wisely, or better yet, do not choose at all.
3. Once you make a decision and are mistaken, there should be a time to apologize, so do it quick,
4. Do not expect much from people, expecting too much is bad for you, but on the other hand, give as much as you possibly can.
5. Think, but act; say, but think; love.
6. Unwise is to live without living fully.
7. Humans are hard to understand, try to understand yourself first.
8. Tolerance is the basis of any kind of relationship.
