Squidoo Teaches Life Lessons
Almost every good thing I know about life, I practice on Squidoo, don't you?
Squidoo is a community. It's a great place to make friends, learn about life, and practice good citizenship.
Learning Squidoo is like practicing our life lessons, being better citizens.
I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, who has sight so keen and strong That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroken; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Squidoo teaches the importance of relationships and friendships -- especially those on-line relationships. I love to read the lenses of other squidoo-ers and make comments about them -- enjoying the conversation. And I equally love receiving comments on my pages!Squid U is a great place to get to know other lensmasters. Read, welcome and assist newcomers, and learn how the more successful lensmasters do Squidoo!
Life Lesson: Friends are an important part of our lives -- no matter where we go, but especially on-line when we are writing, allowing others to see a glimpse of our souls.
