What experience or moment in your life have you learned the most from?

It must have been learning to not take crap from people anymore.. after being pushed & bullied from when I was a small kid in school.. I just decided that I wasn't going to give people the time of the day anymore. So, if people do aggravate or make me mad.. I just shut them out, make as though they don't exist or.. when I was studying, get even. I remember when I was doing my Diploma.. my results for the 1st test of my C programming class wasn't that good.. it was so-so.. and this one guy (big jerk until today) said.. "Haa.. that Azura can't do programming for anything.." needless to say, I got even in the 2nd test for C programming by getting 49.5 out of 50.. shutting the guy up and giving me great satisfaction that I accomplished something :)
