Guffaw's rules

..for being human:
Rules for being Human
1. You will learn lessons.
2. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
3. A lesson is repeated until it is learned.
4. If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder (pain is one way the universe gets your attention).
5. You will know you have learned a lesson when your actions change. - taken from Cherie Carter Scott

I've read this a couple of times, it is very close to my take on the meaning of life. Mine is shorter.

Life is school.
If you do not create the circumstances from which to learn a lesson by your own choices, your circumstances will help you out with that.

  1. Yes, life is school. It depends ultimately if you can afford the tuition!

  2. Not mine, Ms. Scott's.

  3. Great post- will pass it along to the Perfect Child.

    Kinda like DiNozzo's Rule:

    If you always do what you've always done,
    You'll always get what you've always got.
