Lately I have been seeking to learn more things in order to not only improve myself but also bring additional value to the world. I personally think life is a series of lessons where we get to learn them after the experience. By continuously taking action, making mistakes and learning from them, I have been able to elevate my level of thinking in a way that enable to me become more interested in developing myself in terms of skills and be able to influence further my surroundings. Like for instance, I can now talk in front of any public with total self confidence.
So here are five things I have learnt which is worth sharing:
1. Saying a pleasant NO is one of the most important skills one should possess in order to lead a happy life.
2. Always ask when needed. This is yet another simple but very important skill we have to use on a daily basis. How can our colleague, family member or friend know what we want if we do not ask or make it clear?
3. Try to see the point of view of the other person. Most people if not all are doing their best. Seeing their perspective bring us better ways to deal with a situation in particular like for example letting an old lady take our usual parking.
4. Be grateful for what I have. I agree I do not have what rich people all around the world do not have especially in terms of possessions. However a majority of people in the world particularly in African countries are struggling for food daily.
5. The grass is never greener out there. In life there are always compromises. We cannot get everything at the same time. For instance, the person we know with a modern sport car had to take double loans in order to buy the latter just to impress his neighbourhood. While on the other side, the family man without a big pay check, has his close ones with whom he share his life experiences with. After all feeling lonely is one of the worst emotions for humans to feel.
A wise person learns from the mistakes and experiences of others.
