Maria, Ana, Vita

Long time since I've received a postcard with any thoughts about life, but now there are three of them! 

Yesterday I received one from Maria.

"My most important thing:

respect life and enjoy life while you can!"

Maria, Netherlands

And today two - from Anastacia and from Vitalina.

"The most important thing I've learned is to get the best from the life into your own world. When something bad is happening you can find a rescue in your own world"

Anastacia, Bialorus

And something different, but absolutely important from Vita

"I work as a journalist. Unfortunately, in our country to be a real good journalist is almost impossible, because need to be subjected to the system and power. But the are those who try to swim against the current. And it's great! I'm still trying to maintain their position. I think it is important.

Life is beautiful! The main thing is not afraid to look into the unknown!" 

Vitalina, Ukraine

Helena

What is important for me in life? Listen to the heart, always. 

Never use people and love things. But love people and use things! 

Helena, France

Dasha

The most important thing I've learned in my life is that you never should behave as people or society expects from you - your intuition is the best adviser ever!

Dasha, Russian Federation

Terry

I am 27 years old and the most important thing I've learned is to dream big, believe in yourself, love others and live happy. We have but one life here on Earth. It's too short to let negativity win out.

Sara

" The most important thing I've learned from now might be "carpe diem" (seize the day). Because you'll never know what'll happen tomorrow. Everyday is an end but also a new beggining. Live it as much as we can. Never leave regrets."

Sara, Taiwan

Christina

" Writting about the most important thing I've learned in life is pretty tough. I guess being thankful for what one has achieved and for the people in one's life is really important and being thankful is a very powerful positive feeling - so powerful it can really affect your actions and turn the results into positive ones. I really belive that positive attitude towards others can make a huge difference"

Christina, Germany

sorry for the quality of the photo, but my camera has broke :(

The sender of this card didn't wrote anything about the most important thing etc., but the quotation on the posctard is quite interesting, I thought, so... here it is.

“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.”

Audrey Hepburn

It's a little bit strange, because the quote is by Audrey and on the posctard shows a photo of Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara :)

 

 

 

 

7. Simone

"The most important thing is for me a happy partnership, to have a loving husband and a family that respects me and treat respectfully. Healthy and happy to live in an enviroment where I can feel comfortable and can pursue my own interests."

Simone, Switzerland

Linda

"The most important thing I learned in life is that good health is everything, the most important thing for sure!"

Linda, Netherlands

5. Anne

"So I want to say >the most important thing I have learned in life<. I can't say confidently. But still. However trite it may sounds but: it's wrong to judge people by their appearance. All people are personalities and all of us are interesting."

Anne, Belarus

She's so right. Maybe sounds trite, but we all do this, don't we? Well, I do this. And I judge book by its cover. I'm a bad girl, I know.

4. Kseniya

"The most important thing I have learned in my life, is that what you're doing in this world comes back to you threefold. For example, if you do good, you'll be happy, if evil, you will be unhappy."

Kseniya, Belarus

3. Anja

"Most important thing I learned is that you have to trust people, get in contact with others and share your problems and feelings!"

Anja, Germany

2. Mari

"Whatever you do, give it your utmost attention - or none at all. Don't do anything half, go for the 100% (or do not bother at all). That's the lesson I learned a bit late in life."

Mari, Netherlands

1.Becci

"I would say one of the most important things I have learned about life, is that nothing is free, if you want something, you have to work for it. And when you work for what you have, you appreciate it a lot more."

Becci, USA
