Life Isn't Fair




How often have you hit rock bottom and dwell on life not being fair. I do it more then I care to admit. I allow it to get me down, which just makes everything worse.

But, guess what? Life isn’t fair. Get over it!

I recently read somewhere if we just came into grip with reality, and accepted that life was in fact, NOT FAIR, we wouldn’t spend so much time thinking about it. We could think.. “ yeah, life is a bitch” and then get back on track and move on. J

  1. Life is presented to us the way it's meant to be.. So I think anyhow... It's how we choose to deal with it that matters.. So I think anyhow. :) hug

  2. It's so true! Life is a bitch sometimes, but it's all about how you choose to deal with it. Thanks for sharing all your thoughts Amy. I hope you and Anthony and your babies are doing good. Talk to you soon! Miss you!

  3. Just got this forward today - thought I'd share.

    This should be posted in all schools and work places !

    Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good,politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.



    Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

    Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

    Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

    Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

    Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

    Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

    Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

    Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

    Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

    Rule 10: Television is NOT real life.. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs..

    Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

    If you agree, pass it on.
    If you can read this - Thank a teacher!
    If you're reading this in English- Thank a Veteran!
