Lessons Learned

WHY is it that so many lessons

can only be learned the HARD WAY?

Stumbling and FALLING, I pick myself up

and RESOLVE not to make that mistake again.

But it isn't long until I FIND myself down,

looking up and WONDERING what happened?

How could I have made the SAME mistake

twice or more? STILL LEARNING is the answer.

Life is a CONTINUOUS school

and sometimes the lessons aren't EASY.

They are REPEATED until we thoroughly

understand what NOT to do next time.

PS To avoid criticism , do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
