Three Lessons Learnt so Far.
There is a forum we meet every Sunday and a question was asked:What are the three most important lessons you've learned so far in life.
Each person gave their own version of answers.The following were the responses in order of the most mentioned:
1.Trusting God
It came out strongly that the believe,faith and hope in God kept people going.Hoping things will be better tomorrow is a powerful living tool.
2.Friends
The choice of who one associates with affect his/her life and will have an impact to his other spheres of their life
3.Standing Firm
There comes a time when your No/yes remains no matter what the circumstances otherwise one will be like wind.
4 Living life to the Fullest
There are things we keep on postponing saying and waiting for good tides,'tomorrow',giving unwarranted excuses of not living the life we've always desired,but one thing always remain there will always be good and bad times,in whichever the season live as if today was our last day
5.Salvation is Not easy
Living right and as per God's teaching is and will never be easy.It takes sacrifice and commitment the world may seem precious,sweet and offering anything we would wish,but the repercussions are always dire
6.Looks can be deceiving
You go to town,hang out in campus and gash!,we've beautiful ladies,extremely beautiful.Hunk dudes with money but let this not blind us to what life there may be beyond the looks and money.The real person could be a blat.
7.Patience
It will come to pass whatever that is,just be patient,wait one more hour one more year,you'll get what you want,they will change..
8.Open Mindedness
This is thinking without the box,blowing up our mind,living out our comfort zones.Viewing & handling things from a different perspective.
9.Time
Time is of essence what makes the difference between individuals/society/country is how they spend the 24hrs that is equal to all.
10.Networking
The world we are in is who I know not necessarily what I know.The richness of our network will influence our the hangouts,jobs,business and the social status.'We should know People' as we like putting it.
11.Campus Life Illussion
Campus life is just ideal,it gives us no experience of the hardship there are outside it's environ.The fellowships,cheap lifestyle,theoretical knowledge...not unless one is bold enough to go the extra mile of getting to know what there is out there it might come as a big surprise once done with the system
12.Confidence
I Once attended a powerful talk by a renown speaker and writer.During his speech he asked a question of which he was to award Four of his books,unfortunately no one got it right.After the speech it was question session,I raised up my hand and asked,'Sir,you were to give copies of your work but since no one got it right and you had decided to give out,why don't you give them to me?'
Everyone laughed, he chuckled too and replied,'You directly went practical into applying what you've learned today,please come have them.'It takes a little wit and confidence to get what you want.Let's face those hurdles fearlessly,head on.
13.Books
There is so much we can get from other people's thoughts and experiences,download soft copy books,buy hard copies,create your own home library that your generations can draw inspiration from.
I'm sure you too could be having a summary list of three paramount things you've learned so far in life they guide your course and priority hold them dearly and pursue.
Feel free to share them out here too.
