🌹🌷🙏 *CHAPTER 25* *LESSONS in LIFE* - By *Barabara Bush* *One night I got to thinking about what I have learnt in life* - sometimes the hard way -and *the advice I had like to give to my precious children*, if I could or would. I found myself at my computer composing a letter, which I never sent. But *I would like to share it with you*. 🕵️. *1. Try to find the good in people and forget the bad.* Oh boy, I know how hard it is. Many years ago, I wasted so much time being bothered about my mother. I suffered so, because she and I had a chemical thing. I love her very much, but was hurt by her. (I am sure that I hurt her a lot too.) Grace Walker once said to me, “think of all the lovely things about your mother… all the things that you love and are proud of about her.” There were so many I couldn't count them all. I think I expected her to be perfect. Nobody is perfect. Certainly not me. So look for good in others. 🙋. *2. Make friends not enemies.* Clara Barton, founder and President of the Red Cross, was once reminded of a wrong a friend had done to her years earlier. “Don't you remember?” The friend asked. Clara replied, “No, I distinctly remember forgetting that.” Not bad advice. Isn't it better to make a friend than an enemy? 💰. *3. Don't talk about money to people …. Either having it or not having it.* It is embarrassing and quite vulgar. 💵. *4. Do not buy something that you cannot afford.* You do not need it. If you really need something and can't afford it - for heavens sake call home. That is what family is all about! *To support you in what you need most.* *Chapter 25.
