1. you will receive a body. you may like it or hate it, but it will
be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. you will learn lessons. you are enrolled in a full-time informal
school called 'life.' each day in this school you will have
the opportunity to learn lessons. you may like the lessons or
think them irrelevant and stupid.
3. there are not mistakes, only lessons. growth is a process of
trail, error, and experimentation. the "failed" experiments
are as much a part of the process as the experiment that
ultimately "works".
4. a lesson is repeated until learned. a lesson will be presented
to you in various forms until you have learned it.
when you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.
5. learning lessons does not end. there is no part of life that
does not contain its lessons. if you are alive, there are
lessons to be learned.
6. "there" is no better than "here". when your "there" has
become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there"
that will, again, look better than "here".
7. Others are merely mirrors of you. you cannot love or hate
something about another person unless it reflects to you
something you love or hate about yourself.
8. what you make of your life is up to you.
you have all the tools and resources you need.
what you do with them is up to you.
the choice is yours.
9. your answers lie inside you.
the answers to life's questions lie inside you.
all you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. you will forget all of this.

got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

Good Bye by Jang Geun Suk ~ translate (ost You're Beautiful)
What should I do? I am just watching you
I can’t even say a short farewell
You hold on to my cold hands
But now I have to send you away
What should I do? You are going far away
My heart is filling with tears
Even though I try my best to hide it, I can’t
This heart I couldn’t catch, what should I do?
Don’t forget the memories we loved
Even if you find another person that makes you smile
Even the painful farewell, I am glad that it was you
Gathering all my sad tears, good bye
There was nothing I’ve done for you
Sadly, only scars are left
The person who encompassed my changed heart
Now I have to send you away, what should I do?
Don’t forget the memories we loved
Even if you find another person that makes you smile
Even the painful farewell, I am glad that it was you
If the tears fall because it is so painful to endure
Don’t forget the happy memories we shared
Even if you find another person that makes you smile
Even the painful farewell, I am glad that it was you
My love that I can’t reach, now I have to send you away
The only person that can make me laugh is you
Even if love is so deep and the heart hurts so much
Don’t forget the happy memories we shared
Even if you find another person that makes you smile
Even the painful farewell, I am glad that it was you
The thing that I could do with all my sad tears,
good bye
Because I'm a Fool translate ~ Jung Yong Hwa (ost You're Beautiful)
I must be like this because I’m a fool
It seems alright even when I’m hurt
Even when I’m teased about my pitiful love
Because I’m a fool beyond help
I was good to him because I wanted to be
I was happy with just that
If he smiles just once
I’m happy with that smile
Thinking “This boy doesn’t have a person he likes”
I simply stay by his side like this
Because this is a love where I’m happy to be giving
I don’t expect anything in return
A place from where I can reach him any time he holds out his hand
A place from where I can visit him any time he calls for me
I’ll stay there without changing
Because I love him
Because he was the one I chose
Even the pain made me happy
If he looks back at me just once
I’m happy with that
Thinking “This boy doesn’t have a person he likes”
I simply stay by his side like this
Because this is a love where I’m happy to be giving
I don’t expect anything in return
A place from where I can reach him any time he holds out his hand
A place from where I can visit him any time he calls for me
I’ll stay there without changing
Because I love him
Until someone else to watch over him in my place arrives
I’ll stay by his side for the time being
Because this is a love where I’m just happy to gaze at him
I don’t need anything in return
So that he can lean on me and rest any time
I’ll always appear the same
Even if he leaves me without saying goodbye
I’ll let him go saying thanks
because I’m a fool
