I hope it keeps you move on too! =)
Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio .
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.
My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come...
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

1、“太漂亮的女人最后总是孤单一人,因为她不肯向爱情妥协;太帅气的男人最后总是落在不太漂亮的女人手上,因為他向生活妥协。因此太漂亮的女人和太帅气的男人总是无法长久一起的,因为他们都习惯被围绕被取悦。太漂亮的女人,是堪折的花,越早遇到越好;太帅气的男人,是待熟的果,最好别要太早遇上。”
ps,幸好我不太漂亮,哈哈…yeah
2、“小时候,希望自己快点长大,长大了,却发现遗失了童年;单身时,开始羡慕恋人的甜蜜,恋爱时,怀念单身时的自由。很多事物,没有得到时总觉得美好,得到之后才开始明白:“我们得到的同时也在失去。”
ps,有得有失,淡然面对
3、“在爱的世界里,没有谁对不起谁,只有谁不懂得珍惜谁。 能够说出的委屈便不算委屈,能够抢走的爱人便不算爱人。 不说出委屈就只能委屈自己,不放走不爱你的人就得不到爱你的人。”
ps,在流泪的时候觉得委屈,其实心里已经慢慢学会坚强
4、“人生的路上,我们都在奔跑,我们总在赶超一些人,也总在被一些人超越。人生的要义,一是欣赏沿途的风景,二是抵达遥远的终点;人生的秘诀,寻找一种最适合自己的速度,莫因疾进而不堪重荷,莫因迟缓而空耗生命;人生的快乐,走自己的路,看自己的景,超越他人不得意,他人超越不失志。”
ps,在绝望时,要抬头看看天,想想存在的意义
5、“有一天,友情和爱情碰见。爱情问友情:世上有我了,为什么还要有你的存在?友情笑着说:爱情会让人们流泪,而友情的存在就是帮人们擦干眼泪!”
ps,秤子打心眼里最重视朋友,哪怕不联系,不多言,其实也会很依赖
6、“我很爱你,却不知道该如何靠近你,所以觉得离开也是可以的。并没有什么不同,结果反正都是这样,是好是坏都不重要。重要的是我曾经迷恋你,就像我迷恋一把晚清的雕花椅。”
ps,安妮的话总是让人在感到温暖的同时有一丝心痛,爱是一门要耗费一生去学习、经营的学问
7、“我想给你幸福,却走不进你的世界。我想用我的全世界来换取一张通往你的世界的入场券,不过,那只不过是我的一厢情愿而已。我的世界,你不在乎;你的世界,我被驱逐。我真的喜欢你,闭上眼,以为我能忘记,但流下的眼泪,却没有骗到自己。”
ps,答应自己,要独自承受这一切。
8、“不要让幸福擦肩而过:最懂你的人,总是会一直在身边守护你,不让你有一丝的委屈;真正爱你的人,也许不会说许多爱你的话,却会做许多爱你的事。如果发现身边有这样的人,请你好好珍惜……幸福不会时时等着你,爱你的人和你爱的人不是随时可以出现,好好把握,不要让自己和幸福擦肩而过”
ps,期待懂我的人
9、“人生最美最不能逊色的风景应该是努力。努力是人生的一种精神状态,是对生命的一种赤子之情。努力是拥有之母,拥有是努力之子,一心努力可谓条条大路通罗马。所以,与其规定自己一定要成为一个什么样的人物,获得什么东西,不如磨练自己做一个努力的人。”
ps,早就该明白,最美的不是成功的那一刻,而是事后回想奋斗过程中的艰辛
10、“人生,没有永远的伤痛,没有过不去的坎。还是让我们学学杨柳,看似柔弱却坚韧,狂风吹不断;太刚强的树干,却在风中折枝。学会放弃,学会承受,学会坚强,学会微笑,那是一种别样的美丽!适当的放弃,是人生优雅的转身。”
ps,没有过不去的坎,让自己跨越的姿势美一点。
