  50 Lessons Life Taught Me

  

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.

 It is the most-requested column I've ever written. When my odometer rolled over to 50, I updated the list.

  Here it is:

  1. 

Life isn't fair, but it's still good.


  2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
  3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.


  4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.


  5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
  6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
