What is the one lesson you cannot seem to learn in life?

Mine is this concept that you get more bees with honey than vinegar.

Cannot seem to instill that in my life.

ah, Dragoness..I have one I'm finally starting to get but I don't think I want to post and share it. :wink:

It's a doozy and I can only say that I'm glad I'm finally 'getting' it.

Giving me hope for turning 50 now....

Great 'thinker' question for everyone.

I've always had a problem with not charging people enough for my mechanical services, when I was working for myself. My friends kept telling me to charge more, but I just didn't get it. Needless to say, I retired poor, but I have fun every day, and the bills are paid, so no regrets really. I figure, if I had been sucessful, and had a chain of shops, I would always be running, and have stomach ulcers, so poor is comfortable bigsmile

The world doesn't seem to want to pay "generalists" very well. (practically OR metaphorically)
I'm am interested in just about everything.
So much that I haven't "really" "specialized" in anything

Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is?
[holds up one finger]
Curly: This.
Mitch: Your finger?
Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean ****.
Mitch: But, what is the "one thing?"
Curly: [smiles] That's what *you* have to find out.

Slow down, take things one step at a time, and be patient.

'one thing'

damn, now wonder I'm confused....I've been working on so
many um.. things and I was to be just narrowing it down to one.

I have difficulty in just saying NO...
when my friends ask me out for dinner, etc; and I don't feel like going, yet I usually say yes to just about anything!..It's weird I know....

Ive started learning actually, the difference between conversations with a point and those which are fruitless and pointless.. between genuine inquiries, and subliminal attacks,,
