I HAVE LEARNED
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people just do not care back.

the way you want them to doesn't mean they do notlove you,
with all they have.

and only seconds to destroy it.

but who you have in your life that counts.

to the best others can do but to the best you can do.

no matter how we feel.

I have the right to be angry,

their dreams are unlikely or outlandish.
and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
I've learned that your family won't always be there for you.
It may seem funny, but people you are not related to,

I've learned that sometimes when my friends fight,
I'm forced to choose sides even when I don't want to.

~~Words of Love~~
A skillful leader does not use force.
A skillful fighter does not feel anger.
A skillful master does not engage the opponent.
A skillful employer remains low.
Those who know others are intelligent:
Those who know themselves have insight.
Those who master others have force.
Those who master themselves have strength.
Through inaction nothing is left undone.
