Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul

I read a book last night "Chicken Soup for the teenage soul". Here are some interesting quotes:

"Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"
Isn't it the oppisite from Khmer culture??

"Treat yourself as a whole person, not half a couple"
Many young Khmer women think that they lose their half when they broke up. Why can't they treat themselves as a whole person by themselves??? My boyfriend is an extra part of my life, but without him, I am still a whole Nana. I might lose the extra part of my life, but not half of my life.

"You never lose by loving, you always lose by holding back"
If you feel loving someone, let him or her know. Trust their answer no matter Yes or No, rather than he or she didn't know at all.

What do you think?

Thanks to a friend of mind, Pahnarath for giving me the book. I have learn alot from it.
