Yesterday evening, I attended a get together kind of memorial for someone who has died. As many of his professional colleagues as could come were there, saying all these wonderful and fun things about him. I wondered how many of us had shown him how much he meant to us while he was alive.

MNI, that was a cute story. Found a great advice on "meaning of life" from that site. I am here to learn... gotta find out what I need to learn. io.com A Practical Guide to Life A Practical Guide To Life (Whatever That Is) 1.There is reason and purpose and harmony in the Universe. We are a part of all that, and a great amount of our work in this life is to learn that lesson. 2.We define life in terms of our body. You may like or hate your body, but it is the mechanism that defines what we call life. Most of us start out believing that we are our body, and it takes considerable effort on our part to overcome the complications of that misunderstanding. 3.We are here to learn lessons. That is what life is about. Each day we will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or you may think them stupid or irrelevant. 4.There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The experiences that we label failures are as valuable a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately work. 5.A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have completely learned a lesson, you will then go on to the next one. 6.Learning lessons does not end. This is what life is about; as long as there is life, there are lessons. 7.What you make of this life is up to you. You already have everything you will ever need to learn your lessons. There is nothing you have to do first. 8.Every thing you experience in life is neutral. The only value of anything outside yourself is determined by the way you experience it. 9.When you have learned that lesson, it will be a powerful tool you can use to set up more lessons. 10.The Universe will bring you everything you need to learn your lessons. The value of your experiences is determined by you. The Universe will never bring you more than you can handle. 11.What you do with those resources is up to you. Whether your choice is to learn or to fail, the Universe will support your choice, and bring whatever you need to manifest it. 12.Whatever you choose, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY !!! From time to time, you will forget this. --- Charles Fitzsimmons
