You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called "Life". Each day in this school
you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons, or think them
irrelevant and stupid.
3) There are no mistakes, only lessons:
Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The failed experiments are
as much a part of the process as those experiments that ultimately works.
4) A lesson is repeated until learned:
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When
you have learned it, you may then go on to the next lesson.
5) Learning lessons does not end:
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are
lessons yet to be learned.
6) There is no better place than here:
When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that
will, again, look better than "here".
7) Others are merely mirrors of yourself:
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you
something that you love or hate about yourself.
8) What you make of your life is up to you:
You have all the tools and resources you need... What you do with them is up to
you. The choices are yours.
9) Your answers lie inside yourself:
The answers to life's questions lie inside yourself. All you need to do is look, listen,
and trust.
10) You will forget all this.
