a few of the wise things I've learned between 20 and now!.!.!.

1!. Nobody's going to make your life better except you!. There is no magic fairy, poet, priest or politician (all of which are about equally reliable) who will fix everything!.

1(a)!. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to steal from you!.

2!. The game may be rigged, but don't let that stop you!. If you never play, you CAN'T win!.

3!. There's enough cool things out there to read, do, see, to fill up every life!.

4!. The little victories count at least as much as the big ones!. Sometimes more!. Savor small moments of happiness!. Set small goals!. They add up!.

5!. You are no more or less than what you choose to be!. If you choose to be a victim, you'll be a victim!. If you choose to be undefeatable, you will be!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well You Start thinking about things and evaluating your life a bit more and the desire to become successful comes into play more!. You are wiser about things like being impatient because you realize that it can make you seem pushy but not always that is dependent!. You can definitely see through much more bull when people talk!. Plus you are more accepting to people and try to be a bit more polite!. Try to be more considerate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a good question and quite a difficult one to answer!.!.
but i guess you go through life learning from the mistakes you have made and the older you get the more experience in life you gain!.
You get to know your strengths and your weaknesses!.Hopefully you learn to respect the differences in folk and not expect everyone to see the world as you do!.
You begin to realise just how precious life is and when you watch or listen to the news you really give thanks for just how lucky you are!.Each day you live in good health,you appreciate it
and don't take one single thing for granted!.
Hopefully you will get to the stage where you don't judge folk by what they have or how they look,or ultimately don't judge folk at all!.
Maybe some don't become wiser as they get older,don't want to learn and grow, but everyday i do ask myself what do i know today that i didn't know yesterday!.And i make a conscious effort to become a better person and will continue to do so!.
I don't know if i have answered your question as you wanted me to but i have tried!.!.!.

I was about 14 when Bob Dylan sang "ah but I was so much wiser then I am younger than that now"

I never 'got' the arrogance of my youth - that splendid teenaged invincibility - of 'knowing' -

Now I am wise enough to 'not know -

I know now that I cannot change the world (only me and possibly parts of my world) - and neither am I wholly responsible for the world '

I have learned to be more observant of others and to not be overly trusting!. I know that I will sound like a silly old woman to the younger folks but once you've been bitten, metaphorically speaking of course, you're more in tune and you are able to pick up on those vibes!.

because we're all learning all the time and the more years that go on, the more experience of life and people one gains!.
One becomes cynical which is a shame as we all start off as innocent and naive!.
We tend to be people pleasers up to 25 then realise some people take advantage of us and this can harden the heart!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow! This is a great question! Good job!
I think the most important thing I have learned in my life is to be true to and love thyself, as I am!.

This too shall pass!
Stay off the 'pitty-pot'! We are the cause and effect of our lives!.
