14. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you.
    
    
15. Always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around you whenever you have time and never forget everything and every person that has the least place within your heart.
    
    
16. If you're searching out for something - Don't try so hard If you're feeling kinda nothing - Don't try so hard When your problems seem like mountains You feel the need to find some answers You can leave them for another day Don't try so hard But if you fall and take a tumble - It won't be far If you fail you mustn't grumble - Thank your lucky stars Just savour every mouthful And treasure every moment When the storms are raging round you Stay right where you are Don't try so hard Oooh don't take it all to heart It's only fools they make these rules Don't try so hard... Queen
