Life Is Not a Test Booklet

Life is Not a Test Booklet Life is not a test booklet to be filled out in number two pencil. as your future goes down the drain. There are no erasers in life only mistakes to make, only time and distance. Life is not an elective it is our permanent record, our neatly filled in circle. Life is an eternal learning moment, a non-existent classroom. Life is not a test booklet. We must live our lives move forward - scars and all. There are no erasers in life. What are you willing to learn today? What are you willing to teach? John G. Lawless 3/21/2014

I really like this. Just as real schools do not have walls, so is life NOT a test booklet. ~ Gershon
