What lessons has life taught you?

Life's lessons
As a child, I have always been told that life is full of ups and downs. And growing up, I came to understand this was the law of gravity.

That whatever goes up must surely come down. But as humans, we have tried all possible means to make sure most things stay at the top forever.

It may work for as long as possible, but there is always a day when it all comes to an end.

Life has taught me lots of lessons, and I am going to share them with all of you today

Consistency is the key to success
consistency

A lot of people always want to get the cake sooner than expected. And we end up doing things that we are not supposed to do.

We ignore the efficient method of learning the ropes slowly and steadily. We are always found to be in a hurry to finish.

But life has taught me that if I am always in a hurry, it means I do not have control over what it is I am doing.

And so I have learned to make them easily and take every acts, and decision one step at a time.

Once everyone in the world learns to take things step by step, they will be opening up to bigger lessons that come from the learning process.

And these will be lessons that will change the course of the lives.

Everyone is a genius
genuis

Yes, that is true. We are all geniuses, the only reason we don't reach our individual genius level is that we left our calling, and run after other people's own.

When we were children, they were those things we were naturally attracted to, and always wanted to be there, doing them.

But as we grew up, we left them behind, and move towards what society or our parents said was acceptable.

We follow society because of the prestige.

At some point, we lose touch with our natural inclinations.

The result is that we are always depressed, and never find the motivation to wake up the next morning.

If we turn around and look back to our childhood, we will find those things we loved, and work on them, only then will our happiness be full.

Our family will always be everything
Family is everything

No matter where we go, or what we do, the people who will always stand by us are our family.

We should not neglect them, for they are the ones who will stand our weaknesses and our strengths.

They won't exploit us for their benefits because it is the same blood that is running through their veins.

Once we leave them behind, we will be leaving a part of our soul behind, and if care is not taken, we might get lost on the way.

Love needs to be worked for too
Love is a beautiful thing

Movies and books have spoilt us. We now think love is a magical thing, and should not be worked for.

But that is not true. As with everything that we want in life, we have to work for love too.

If we want someone to love dearly and hold us in high esteem, we need to put in the effort.

That is because life is garbage in, garbage out, and this applies to everything. We cannot receive love if we do not give love.

Do more acting, and less talking
Win through actions

We live in a world where everyone wants to be heard and no one wants to listen. Power is only to those who keep quiet, and listen.

That is speech is silver, silence is gold.

If you keep quiet a lot, you will notice that you will be picking up lessons, and points from those who are doing the talking.

This will help you sit back, and think over everything you have heard. From here, you can analyze every bit of it and put them into action.

If there is anything you want to happen, do not talk about it, show everyone through actions.

Free lunches come with lots of obligations
There is no free lunch without hidden obligations

Has anyone given you something for free, and you end up giving him or her everything that you have before?

That is how the world work.

There is no free thing anywhere.

If someone offers you something for free, note that there will always be a hidden obligation somewhere.

So it is advisable that you do not always take free things, but pay your way down till the end.

So that you will be free from guilt or the trap of gratitude.

If you want to make money, sell something
Give value, and get money as a reward
Money answers everything they say, and to get the money you need to learn to sell.

You have to stop shying away from learning how to sell.

Selling is not only for salesmen alone, it is for everyone who wants to be financially free.

Whatever it is you are selling must have value, for it is a value that people pay for.

This means it must solve people's problems.
