Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many people call you
and it's not about who you've dated,
are dating or haven't dated at all.
It isn't about who you've kissed,
what sport you've played,
or which guy or girl likes you.

It's not about your shoes, or your hair,
or the color of your skin, or where you live, or go to school.
In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes,
or colleges that accept you or not.

Life isn't about if you have lots of friends,
or if you are alone and it's not about how
accepted or not accepted you are.
Life just isn't about that.

But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about how you feel about yourself.
It's about trust, happiness and compassion.
It's about sticking up for your friends
and replacing inner hate with love.

Life is about avoiding jealousy,
overcoming ignorance and building confidence.
It's about what you say and what you mean.
It's about seeing people for who they are
and not what they have.

Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life
to touch someone else's in a way that could
never have been achieved otherwise.
These choices are what life's about.

-- Author Unknown --


Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things.
The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions:
Could have, might have and should have.

-- Louis E. Boone --
