Three things in life that, once gone, never come back Time Words Opportunity Three things in life that may never be lost  Peace Hope Honesty Three things in life that are most valuable   Love Self - Confidence Friends Three things in life that are never certain Dreams Success Fortune Three things that make a man/woman   Hardwork Sincerity Commitment Three things in life that can destroy a man/woman  Alcohol Pride  / Ego Anger Three things in life that, once lost, hard to build-up   Respect Trust Friends Three things in life that never fail  True Love Determination Belief REMEMBER... The shortest distance between a problem and a solution Is the distance between your knees and the floor, The one, who kneels to the Lord, can stand up to anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
