Life Lessons Revisited


I met my students today (after a long christmas vacation!) and they were caught unprepared for the pre-activity I asked them to do before we started the formal lesson......well, i asked them to nurture their intrapersonal dimension by revisiting the life lessons they learned in 2009. I was amazed by the beautiful revelations and sharing of life lessons from my students....these insights were not only eye openers for my other studets but a source of inspiration for me to continue working with young people. Allow me to share some of the most beautiful and heart-warming life insights from my students:


  • Joy & anger are all vital factors in being human. That its okay to be angry if you must.

  • That love is beyond what one can see physically...

  • That bad things even happen to GOOD people...but what differentiates the good from the bad is that good people are always victorious!

  • Uncertainty is caused by lack of knowledge and hesitation is the product of fear!

  • Time do heal all wounds...

  • Most of the time, what you are looking for is just infront of you!

  • Kindness and hardwork will bring you to places

  • People desreves a second chance but not a third!

  • If there should be one important hobby--it should be taking pictures...one day you'll be glad you've captured those moments.

  • You cannot force another person to love you..love is always voluntary!

  • That its a must to look good before you sleep..you'll never know if you will wake up in the morning.
  • Not everyone that shits you is an enemy!

  • That reality most of the time is painful!

Life is truly the greatest teacher...everyday is an opportunity to grow as a person!
