What's the most important idea or lesson you've ever learned? For example, some people might say, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Trust no one and Respect is earned not given!!!!
I always say trust no one and respect is earned not given. Thats not saying not to have manners and be polite to others we should always do that.

The importance of family. I always took family for granted and emphasized the need to acquire friends but after moving several times and having gone through some difficult times it was always loving family members who were there for support many friends just dropped off by the wayside.

Thanks, everyone, for all of these ideas!
