Two cents of wisdom

With age, comes a little wisdom. I looked at the foolish things I did in the past, and decided to learn from my mistakes without regret.

I learnt that nothing, no matter what, lasts forever.

I also learnt that I can get where I want, eventually, only if I keep trying.

I learnt that intelligence , the ability to keep one's mouth shut and mind open.

I learnt that knowing your hierarchy in society or rather where you are in the food chain helps you gains people's love.

I learnt that a smile will give you a head start and kindness will keep you at the advanced stages.

I learnt that loosing and starting over is inevitable, and that so are tears. So we might as well deal with them.

And finally, I learnt that the two hardest Virtues to acquire are patience and keeping my mouth shut.

Hope any of this helps anyone
