Hi people! Actually I have decided to make this blog dead, but after reading Sir Eric's email to the squad, I wanted to post something about it.:)
Cos its kinda touching, the encouragement that he gave us, to tell us to work hard...
Well, the email is basically....private, so I won't be telling ya'll the contents, but he attached a poem that I felt I must share with you all.


I’ve Learned…
I've learned… that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.

I've learned...that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

I've learned...that just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day.

I've learned...that sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

I've learned...that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned...that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned...that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned...that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I've learned...that the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

I've learned...that everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.

I've learned…that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned… that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned… that it pays to believe in miracles.

I've learned… that you shouldn't go through life with a catchers mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned… that if you want to cheer yourself up, you should try cheering someone else up.

I've learned… that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned… that you can tell a lot about a man by the way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned… that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.

I've learned… that there are people who love you dearly but just don't know how to show it.

I've learned...that opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

I've learned...that when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I've learned...that one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

I've learned...that a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I've learned...that I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

I've learned...that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

I've learned...that life is tough, but I'm tougher.

I've learned… that I still have a lot to learn.

Yep.This is it. About how I feel about the poem. I think its all about life's little philosophies. Its what we should all strive to be. Of course, it seems impossible to achieve ALL, but, on second thoughts, remember that nothing is impossible?Yea.So I hope to achive this all, with all 30 of ya Bang Bang squaddies.Haha, thinking of it just makes me happy.
