THE RETAIL
O
ur mothers, families, friends, teachers, society, and other influential
factors have taught us lessons that will stick with us for a lifetime. As a
mother, I do my best to pass on what I've learned to my children. What I
have found is that most of these lessons have a common underlying theme; a
reminder to keep things simple, and to stay focused on what is most important in
life. When you do this, the decisions you make and direction you take in your life
seem to be much easier.
In the spirit of Mother's Day, here are a few tried-and-true life lessons from
Omer B. Washington that I hope will inspire you to remember some of the
important things in life.
• It takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
• It's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
• You should never ruin an apology with an excuse.
• We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
• Either you control your attitude, or it controls you.
• We don't have to change friends if we understand friends change.
• You shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
• Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.
• Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we
are responsible for who we become.
• Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally
different.
• People will forget what you said, and people will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how you made them feel.
