8 things I have learned from the past (not copied from anywhere.. genuinely learnt lessons )
- It's best to rely on yourself and no one else
- Keep up with your friends, don't expect them to always keep up with you.
- Your boss is not your friend, don't ever get taken in.

- You have to make an effort to reach out because people don't always read you correctly.

- My parents are not perfect, they are human and they are products of their time.

- Give freely because you want to, not because you expect to get back the same in return,  that way you are never disappointed.

- If you have no regard or respect for a certain person, then how he/she thinks or what they say of you should be of no consequence, their words would merely be noise in the wind and should not bother you in the least.

- You cannot please everyone. Ask yourself who is most important.

- a clone of me to stay home with the kids

- peace of mind
