# 38. If things doesn't turn out the way you want it to, trust that god has bigger plans for you.

“  Courage is not the absence of fear,
    but rather the judgment that
    something else is more important than fear.
    The brave may not live forever,
    but the cautious do not live at all.
    From now on you'll be traveling the road
    between who you think you are and who you can be.
    The key is to allow yourself to make the journey.

      - Meg Cabot, Exc. from 'The Princess Diaries'

# 37. Poise

# 36. We were never frantic

# 35. No, not all men are the same.

# 34. Don't rush with things.

# 32. Just because he is yours, it doesn't mean that he is here to stay.

Relationships require nurturing my love. It's like a plant. You need to take care of it or it will die. Just because you have it doesn't mean that it's yours. Loosen your grip and it will go, tighten your grip and it will die.

“ Fashion fades, style is eternal.

     - Yves Saint Laurent

# 31. The clothes you wear does not define you

It's what you do with your life. You know yourself better than anybody else.

“  I couldn't care less about fashion.
    If I had taken any clothes home,
    they would have remained in my closet
    for the rest of their existence.

     - Meryl Streep

# 30. Never underestimate the power of a good cup of tea

# 29. Learn how to say 'Sorry'

# 28. Learn how to say 'Thank You'

# 27. There is a simple honor in poverty.

“ I know we've had some difficult times lately. We've had to struggle just to get by.

     But it's nothing to be ashamed of. There is a simple honor in poverty.

# 26. It's all about conflict management

- Baby, it's not about pointing fingers. It's about who learns to forgive first. Friends, lovers, your siblings or your parents, doesn't matter.

# 25. Never go to bed angry

- Do not sleep with a heavy heart. Make peace with it. Whatever it is that caused it.

“ As you grow old, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two,

you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two.
Aging is not decay, you k now. It's growth.
It's more than the negative that you're going to die,
its also the positive that you understand you're going to die,
and that you live a better life because of it.

# 24. Have someone who will take you on a boatride

If he offers you a boat ride, take it. There is nothing more romantic
than being in an enchanting place and having a quiet moment with the one you love.

# 23. Love mama and papa like you love me.

I wish they can see you grow old and have kids of your own someday. I wish that you could get to know them better. They love you more than you know and it breaks my heart knowing you won't ever get the chance to see how cool your grandparents are.

# 22. Never allow people to bully you into silence.

“ Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no ones definition of your life; define yourself.

- Harvey Fierstein
