I never learned that lost time is never found, so I keep wasting it ;(

I never learned that well done is better than well said ;(

I did learn that he who sows thorns should never go barefoot ;(

I never learned to blow off small faults in others, remembering that I have great ones ;(

I never learned that experience keeps a dear school, but a fool will learn in no other ;(

(advice given from a wise person right here on Prose ;)

I did learn that having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it is. ;(

I never learned that he is a fool who has to show his wisdom ;(

I never learned that he who won’t be councelled can’t be helped ;(

I did learn that the sting of reproach comes from the truth in it ;(

I never learned that if a man has half of his wishes, he has double his troubles ;(

Fifty-five years old, and still so much to learn. Has anyone seen all that time I lost?

Color inside the lines

Don't press down so hard

Quit erasing so much

Stop trying to copy

Pick lighter colors

It's Art Class - not real art

Sing higher

Your pitch is too low

Hold your chest up

Blend in with the rest

Don't showboat

It's Music Class - not real music

Study all these pages

Memorize these facts

Write the way we taught you

Repeat what we said

Read this, not that

It's English / History / Science / Math Class - not real learning

Do as your told

Mind your manners

Work hard

Act your age

Think about the future

It's childhood - not real life

They say to listen to your elders as if stupidity fades over the years. They may be older than us, they may have more experience in this world but it is a world they helped to destroy. I will never learn to listen to someone just because they are living in three digits. I am young, I am not blind. Just look at politicians, age means relatively nothing, there are idiots in every generation. Just because you are eighty doesn't mean I'm going to laugh at your racist joke, just because your hair is thinning doesn't mean I am going to listen to your opinions about the threat of 5G when you cannot even turn on your computer.

I won't learn that lesson. I never will.
