live learn and pass it on...

When I arrived in Alberta 12 years ago I couldn't ask the person at the corner store to put my sandwich in the microwave, I couldn't remember how to pronounce microwave! I wanted to get better and started reading English books but they were all too long and I would get lost in them. I found the books" Live, learn and pass it on". Quotes taken from people about what they have learned so far in life. I really enjoyed the books and I wanted to share a few quotes with you. Also, since I have been very fortunate to be around people like you in the last year, I wanted you to share one of your favorite things you have lived, learned and passed on.
