Some things that I learned in the garden (after Robert Fulghum)http://www.geocities.com/millerskinder/Ilearned.html):
1. Keep your head down so that the storms swirl around (and not through) you.
2. Find a guide who knows the garden but remember -he is great but sometimes makes mistakes. Respect with caution.
3.Your focus is on the Torah and Ribbono shel Olam. That's it - only on that.
3.Find those who think and act like you. Treasure them. Together you shall bring the Moschiach- one quiet sapling at a time.
4. If others take your spot, walk away, once and twice. Attempt to explain, to make sholom. Have pity on their ignorance. After that fight back like hell.
5. Remember-whatever you experience is an opportunity for growth. Ribbono shel Olam is sending you an opportunity to come close to Him, and you will sully it with anger? Do not sully it with anger.
6. It is not your garden. You just work here.
7.Somehow, at the end it always blooms. The garden was there before you came and it will remain forever. Inhale deeply and be full of grattitude.
