Philosophy for Today and Tomorrow






  I
Believe



 

 A birth certificate shows
that

 we were born; a death 
certificate

 shows that we died; pictures
show

 that we lived! Have a seat  . .
.

 Relax. And read this
slowly.

 

 I believe - 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 love each
other.

 

 I believe -  That we don't have to change
friends, if we understand

 that friends
change.

 

 I believe - 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 believe - That true friendship continues
to grow, even

 over  the longest distance. Same goes for
true love.

 

 I believe - That  you can do something in an
instant that will give

 you heartache
for life.

 

 I believe - That it's taking me a long time
to become the person I  want

 to be.

 

 I believe - That you should always leave
loved ones with  loving

 words. It may be the last time you see
them.

 

 I believe - That  you can keep going long
after you think you can't.

 

 I believe - That we  are responsible for
what we do, no matter how

 we feel.

 

 I  believe - That either you control your
attitude or it

 controls
you.

 

 I believe - That heroes are the people who
do what has to be done

 when it needs to be done, regardless of the
consequences.

 

 I believe  - That money is a lousy way of
keeping score.

 

 I believe - That sometimes  the people you
expect to kick you when

 you're down will be the ones to help  you
get back up.

 

 I believe - 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  believe - 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 believe - That it isn't always enough to
be  forgiven by

 others. Sometimes you have to learn to
forgive yourself.

 

 I believe - That no matter how bad your
heart is broken, the world

 doesn't stop for your
grief.

 

 I believe - That our background and 
circumstances may have

 influenced who we are, but we are
responsible for who  we've become.

 

 I believe - Two people can look at the exact
same thing and  see

 something totally
different.

 

 I believe - That your life  can be changed
in a matter of

 hours by people who don't even know
you.

 

 I believe - 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  believe - That credentials on the wall do
not make you a decent

 human
being.

 

 I believe - That the people you care about
most in

 life are taken  from you too
soon.

 

 

 The happiest people don't  necessarily have
the

 best of everything; they just make the best
of  everything they
have
