These are some of the quotes that kept my spirits up whenever I'm down. I have always wanted a perfect ending to everything that I do. Now I've learnt, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme and some stories don't have a clear story line. Life is about not knowing, having to change, to take the moment and to make the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Experience has always been a great teacher and even a teacher (ok ex-teacher) like me need to be taught the lessons of life. Learning never ceases till the very end, it's a lifelong process so I guess we all have to keep learning for as long as we are still alive and kicking.
