Some things Life Taught me ..
Hope you have the patience to read what i have to tell you..
1] I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
2] I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
3] I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. The same goes for true love.
4] I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
5] I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
6] I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
7] I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.
8] I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
9] I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
10] I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
11] I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
12] I've learned that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
13] I've learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
14] I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
15] I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
16] I've learned that 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.
17] I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many years you have lived.
18] I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
19] I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
20] I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
21] I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.
22] I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
23] I've learned that two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different.
24] I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
25] I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you you will find the strength to help.
26] I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
27] I've learned that the people you care about most in life are sometimes taken from you too soon

Jokes
1] Joke: Think before you flirt
A couple was invited to a swanky family masked fancy dress Halloween party.
The wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone.
He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going.
So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke without pain and as it was still early, decided go to the party.
As her husband didn't know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice "chick" he could .....
His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry and devoted his time to her.
She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband.
After more drinks finally he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had passionate love in the back seat.
Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make up for his outrageous behavior.
She was sitting up reading when he came in, so she asked what kind of time he had. "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there."
Then she asked, "Did you dance much?" He replied, "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the spare room and played poker all evening"
"You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!" she said with unashamed sarcasm.
To which the husband replied,
"Actually, I gave my costume to my Boss; apparently he had the time of his life.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A LOSER ON INTERNET WHEN..
1.You don’t know how to write in proper English. You use “ma” instead of “my”, “watevea” instead of “whatever” or “heLLo” instead of “Hello”. You put extra letters to a word. For example; “LiFE3” in lieu of “Life”. You prefer to use sms language on forums. Moreover, you think that it’s cool to write like this.

3.You try to use “Unlock Photo Albums Scripts” on the profiles of girls or your ex-lovers.

6.You’ve 200+ friends on Orkut but you don’t know half of them. Moreover, you don’t even talk to them. This is because you think that having 200+ friends makes you popular.

8.You’re using a picture of Hannah Montana/Hilary Duff as your profile picture.

WARNING: DO NOT Use a Cellphone Plugged in to House Current 120/220 Volts AC (or any volts for that matter!) While Recharging the Battery . Read why below...
A few days ago, a young man was recharging his cell phone at home.
While plugged into the wall, a call came into his phone, so he answered it without disconnecting the charger from the AC wall outlet.
After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud.
His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was pronounced D.O.A. Which means "DEAD On Arrival".
Cell phones are a very useful modern invention.
However, we must be aware that it can also be a dangerous instrument.
NEVER use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!
WARN THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER IN YOUR LIFE ABOUT THIS!!!

The 15 Most Expensive Paintings in the World
Painting 1
Massacre of the Innocents by Peter Paul Rubens
In 2006, media mogul David Geffen sold Jackson Pollock's masterwork, No. 5 1948, for $140 million. This made Pollock's work the most expensive painting in modern history, leading a list of the world's most highly acclaimed artists. From Pollock to Picasso, Renoir to Van Gogh, famouse fine art fetches an other-wordly price on today's market. In celebration of their masterworks and the riches now behind them, here is a list of the 15 most expensive paintings in the world.
To round out this list, we've arranged these paintings by an adjusted price in 2008 dollars. The U.S. dollar has inflated quite a bit since 1987, when Van Gogh's Irises sold for $53.9 million. Today, that $53.9 million is worth roughly $102.3 million.

Sale Price: $53.9 million
Currency Adjusted: $102.3 million.
Painting 11
