Things I have learned in my life so far



1. I'm not big enough to be worshiped by myself.

2. The more I give, the more I am. [The more I am, the less I shall think I am.]

3. Marriage is not easy, so as almost anything that is worth striving for.

4. If I don't want to get hurt, don't love (or live, all together).

5. Being vulnerable, I can fear nothing. (Going into a battle, it's impossible to give a good fight when my well-being is my sole concern.)

6. Act first, then feeling comes.

7. If I didn't say "ok! I'm going to stand up, get down the street and buy some milk", and actually do it, I would never have bought a pint of milk.

8. Important things are not things.

9. Material satisfaction diminishes as soon as it was realized.

10. Art is useless, that's why it's so valuable.

11. Ordinary + Extra = Extraordinary

12. Nobody is not creative, just too many lukewarm souls.

13. Being pretentious is the sign of my own insecurity.

14. When cats encounter fear, they make themselves look big by getting their hairs standing. We are more evolved. We boast.

15. The hardest thing for human to achieve is to do good knowing that it's not done by one's own goodness.

16. It's ridiculously comforting to admit to myself that I am nothing but a small chrysalis. Nonetheless in my dream, I saw my wings – wings of a beautiful being.

17. God is there, and He is not silent.

Inspired by the previous post, I thought to myself – why not do my own version of "things I have learned"? I flipped through my old note books, past posts from this blog and my whole life basically. There you have it. Some points are related to others. They are not meant to be all inclusive. Just things I rate more important than others. Well, that's a bit redundant to say. We've been learning billions and billions of things since we saw the first light. But what really matters? That's the question. To nobody else but ourselves.
