我終於瞭解-
當我失敗時有人們還會落井下石
其實是在幫助我能重新站起來。
.
我終於瞭解-
有時當我生氣，而且有正當理由生氣時，
那不表示我有殘忍的權利。
.
我終於瞭解-
真正的友誼是：
無論距離多遠，友誼還是會繼續增長，
真正的愛情也是一樣的。
.
我終於瞭解-
只因某人不是以你所想要的方式愛你，
不代表他/她沒有全心全意地愛你。
.
我終於瞭解-
成熟的意義是你所經歷過的各種類型的經驗
並且從中學到什麼
而不是你已慶祝了多少次的生日。
.
我終於瞭解-
你的家人不一定永遠為你守候。
這聽起來很有趣，但與你沒有血緣關係的人卻可以照顧你，愛你
並教你如何再度去信任別人。
.
我終於瞭解-
無論再好的朋友，每隔一段時間會來傷害你，
而你必須原諒他們。
.
我終於瞭解-
被別人原諒是不夠的。
有時你要學會原諒自己。
.
我終於瞭解-
無論你的心破碎到何種程度
這世界不會因為你的悲傷而停止運轉。
.
我終於瞭解-
我們的背景和環境可能會影響我們的身分，
但我們必須為我們所成為的人負起全責。
.
我終於瞭解-
只因兩個人爭吵，並不意味著他們不愛對方。
就因他們不吵架，也不意味著他們還愛著彼此。
.
我終於瞭解-
我們不需要去改變朋友，
如果我們內心理解的話，朋友自然會改變。
我終於瞭解-
你不需要急於找到一個可以改變你一生的秘密。
.
我終於瞭解-
兩人看著完全一樣的東西
他們的看法可以完全不同。
.
我終於瞭解-
你的生命可以在幾個小時之內，
因著甚至不認識你的人而改變。
.
我終於瞭解-
即使你認為你已經沒有東西可以給出，
當朋友向你求救時，你還是可以找到力量去幫助。
.
我終於瞭解-
牆上的證書不會讓你變成一個好人
...
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.
.
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.
.
I've learned--
that true friendship continues to grow, even over
the longest distance. The same goes for true love.
.
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 theyhave.
.
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 birthdays you've celebrated.
.
I've learned--
that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny,
but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you
and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.
.
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.
.
I've learned--
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
.
I've learned--
that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
.
I've learned--
that our background and circumstances may have influenced
who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
.
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.
.
I've learned--
that we don't have to change friends if
we understand that friends change.
.
I've learned--
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.
.
I've learned--
that two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.
.
I've learned--
that your life can be changed in a matter
of hours by people who don't even know you.
.
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.
.
I've learned--
that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
