Life is the best teacher.

It teaches, irrespective of whether you want to learn, or not.

Brave is the one, who learns from his own mistakes.

But smart is the one, who learns from others’ mistakes.

Here are the most valuable lessons I learnt — the hard way.

  • Life is pretty uncertain. We desire something, plan something and get something else.
  • You don’t always get what you want.
    Most of the time, you have to learn to be okay, and make peace with what you get.
  • Always remember, someone’s effort is a reflection of their interest in you.
  • Appreciate what you have, when you 'have' it!
  • Your plans don’t carry even an ounce of weight. What’s going to transpire, will.
  • What’s meant to be yours, will always be. No matter what.
  • Every person betrays you, at least once, in your lifetime.
  • You cannot force anyone into anything. What, when, where and how they want to do, would be the way they’ll do.
  • If you cannot make your presence felt, then make sure your absence is felt.
  • Nobody would be interested in your story, unless you make it big!

Thank you for reading! If you can relate even a bit, please show some love through 50 claps, and do not forget to follow, if not done already.
