Life is the greatest teacher
There always comes a moment when I wonder where I will end up and this moment always serves as a strong motivation for me to learn life lesson．I've learned a great many things，but these are the lessons that I wish I'd learned earlier：
（61）C
There was a time when everyone's opinion was mine as well．Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of another's．This most likely came from a need to please others．
Remember that your opinion matters just as much as the next guy's，whether they make more money than you or are less popular than you．Everyone's opinion holds the same weight．
（62）E
Drama，chaos，and emotional unrest-these were what took up most of my time as a teenager．When everyone's obsessed with what's in and what's not，tempers flare； mine mostly．
If I had heard someone said rotten things behind my back，I'd erupt．Go crazy．Looking back on those tantrums now，I'm not too surprised．After all，when you have little self control，anything is possible．The lessons here is，remain aware of how you react．
（63）A
Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe？In my world it felt like it．I just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong．But in the end，it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration．
Is there really a point to arguing？Unless it's absolutely necessary，I've learned that it's better to hold your breath on things you can't control at all．
Arguing to change someone's mind is one of them．
（64）B
I'm not saying every parent wants what's best for you （there are outliers），but in general，parents do what they do for you in your best interest．My parents used to make me do the dishes，cook dinner，sweep the floors，mow the lawn，take out the garbage…the list goes on and on．And at every turn，I'd whine and complain．I'd eventually end up doing it．Now，I honestly see the value in having learned those skills．I can efficiently cook and clean up after myself．
（65）F
Whenever I'd lose a friend，get an awful grade，or disappoint my parents，I stewed in my own muck．Waiting for the bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution．Fortunately，I know now that you don't have to be stuck in bad situations．You can go out and create better ones．
It all depends on perspective； on how you see the situation．Viewing everything as a learning experience makes life more pleasurable，even during the hard times．You aren't stuck．You can move on．
I'm glad to have learned these lessons the way I did．Each experience helped shape me to become a better person．I don't know if any young people are reading this，but if they are，I'd like to say this："Listen to life and it's experiences．Everyone goes through mostly the same things．"
