Here are some things that I have learned from my dear sweet Mom.

If you have problems getting your child's attention, just sit down and pretend you are talking on the phone.

If you don't like something about yourself, change it. If you can't change it, accept it.

In three words, I can sum up everything i've learned about life.
It goes on.

Think with your head, not your heart.

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you. Not because they are nice, but because YOU are.

Be of use, but don't be used.

Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don't say it mean.
