There was a man who never laughed or played. He never danced, he never sang or prayed. One day, he died, and his insurance was denied, for they claimed he never really lived, so he never died.
Life is the only school that dishes out the test before the lesson, sometimes. Life will either bless you or bury you. It is not what others say about you that matters, but what you say to yourself when they are done talking. Life is all about living and learning.
We live and learn in life. Often times we feel we understand everything, until life happens, which turns our understanding upside down. That is until we meet someone who has done life more than us and decides to pass down his or her experiences down. We all need help and every little bit helps.
Most people don’t get more out of life because they don’t learn and they are not open to changes and learning. They keep their ways and wonder why life hits them hard and smacks them down. No man can live in isolation. We all need something to learn from each other.
Taking into cognizance our varying attitudes, we should all be open to learning.
One thing I have come to learn about life is when bad experience comes, if we don't learn from it, we will always be bound to repeat that same experience. With living comes learning, and with learning, comes better understanding and experiences.
Life isn’t only about your views, but about the views of others. Only when you are able to understand varying views can you now choose to stick to one and live with the consequences of it. It doesn't mean you have to accept other people’s views, but with more information on hand, with varying experiences, you will be able to have the strength to follow your conviction. Even at that, you still have to live and learn.
As I am saying this, I am open to other people’s view of life. We have different experiences. I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.
Air your thoughts on what you think about life in the comment section. Let’s hear you out. As for me, I am living and learning.
Thank you for your time.

Now we know how much and do not learn new things and probably therefore degrade. We're building supercomputers, proving to ourselves that we're developing faster and faster, but we're not. All computers are based on old technologies, we simply "update" them, but in principle everything that we are able, is based on old knowledge. You can come to the conclusion that we all know how, but it is not, for example, the Egyptians painted gold so that we with their praised technology can not repeat it. We've learned a lot. Maybe that's why we don't live. You'll wonder why I said we don't live, but we do. Remember your life: as robots we go to school first, then we go to work, earn money, spend health, and then spend money, restoring health. Is this life? I'm not going to give you an example of a perfect life, as it is different for everyone, and now she lives should be different, and it is in many of the same. That same us prevents to live? Already a lot of people do not learn, do not develop, many people discover something new, learn something, but even more people do nothing for themselves (I mean development). They have learned what they need and are calm for their lives and this is wrong. Is it not interesting to learn Chinese for yourself, or learn to cook? If we don't learn, we don't live.
Yes, if we don't learn, we don't live...that's why we live and learn. What we now do with what we learn is totally up to us, but learning should make you develop on the inside, if you actually learned.
Thank you for your comment and view. Really appreciate your time.
Okay the dude/dudess who wrote that first para is a genius :-)
Life is a lot like swimming. You can't learn to swim until you get in the water, where you have the option of drowning or learning. So we rarely take our first dip in the river but rather in a swimming pool. I think our parents and schools are like the swimming pool's where you learn to swim to get ready for the real lesson ......my two cents.
Your two cents is worth more than $2. I love this analogy and you totally made a whole lot of sense with it. We cannot truly learn until we are in it, and we have the choice of staying above the water, or just giving in to it and drown. Perfecto!. Gracias amigo!.
Thanks :-)
There comes a time in our life when we realize that what didn't kill us actually just made us stronger. This means we learn from those things. It's not time to give up after a fail.
Also, the approach at which we tackle the situation is a determinant of how it's all going to be.
Trust me, the time will pass, the lesson will be learned. It will all work out. Just keep your heads high and keep your eyes on the prize and learn at every opportunity.
Also, when it all works out, have the attitude of gratitude for those who you learned from.
Gbam!. You nailed it. Life will either bless us or bury us. The problem is not actually the problem but how we respond to it. Our attitude to how we respond to an issue speaks so much about our character and state of mind or being.
We live and learn in life, then when we see others in similar situation that we just got over, we should be gracious enough to help them and also be thankful to those lessons we learn from others, and our experiences too.
Thanks a lot for your views. I really enjoyed it. Gracias
Life is full of up and down brother. This piece is really didactic and thus teach morals. I really learn a great lesson from it today. No one could live all by himself unless he or she wants to meet his or her doom On the way. We really need to learn from other people if we want to be more successful and trivial in our endeavors. We really need to take each other along in whatever we lay our hands on by so doing we surely find our way up . Keep the good work flowing man. I always find your piece interesting and inspiring.
I am really excited to hear your kind words and you made a lot of sense with your view too.
You are right, we all need one another. We live and learn.
You don't know what you know until their is a need for it. Those we think would be able handle situations at time fumbled while those we can't even think off do things better.
Learning from other people's mistakes is the best way to avoid making the same mistakes. It is always good to learn from others because you can't live long enough to repeat all mistakes...
Yes, we cannot live long to repeat many mistakes. We should live and learn and pass our lessons down to others too, to help them speed up their processes. Life is revolving and we all need one another.
Thanks a lot for that. Really appreciated.
That's the point.... Thank you too bro
What we passed through in life makes us who we are, life experiences reshape our focus and direction . Life is a teacher as they say , we are a product of what we learn from life experiences . Well motivational and inspiring post
Exactly we are a product of what we learn from life's experiences. If we don't pick enough lessons from it, we are bound to repeat the process over and over again, and that's why most people give up on life, rather than to learn from it.
Thank you for this. Duly appreciated.
Experiences are what makes life meaningful. I don't expect it to always be rosy, so I learn to accept things as they are. Life itself is something too dynamic to be totally understood; sometimes we just have to live.
Another great one from our favorite guy @olawalium
You are right. Life is filled with pleasant ans unpleasant moments. If there was no sadness, we wouldn't understand what joy means. We need both moments to be able to view life differently. Thank you for airing your view on life. I appreciate you.
One thing I’ve come to learn from wise men is , one must be flexible to flow with the world’s direction. Change is constant, humans change, rules change, and if one can’t flow with the system, one lacks behind and outdated even in success, in knowledge and experience.
Exactly. Being flexible. Many times we feel this is how life should be and we fail to evolve with the evolving world. In a world where nothing is constant, expect death and taxes hahahaha, change is inevitable.
We should always respond to change, rather than to react to it.
Thanks a lot brother, much appreciated.
Learning never stops, everyday every moment we learn
We learn from others mistake so won't be able to make the same mistake
We all got different orientations cos of the fact that we come from different places and different mommas
We shall all learn till our death day
Learning never stops. A man who has stopped learning is obviously dead, even while living.
We learn from our own mistakes, and we also learn from the mistakes of others, so we wouldn't have to repeat what they did. More like getting an answer booklet before an exam but then we ignore the teachings and we just go through life in our own, without learning the details, even while having the answers.
Thanks a lot for your contribution, brother.
Experience is the best teacher
In my country, there's very popular saying, We can only see as much as we know. I totally agree with that you said, we should be open to learning. If we don't know, we don't have any of ways to avoid bad thing until we realize it is bad. But, what if we learn that is bad even if we haven't experienced it before? This is the significance of learning something.
This is so true, in life there is no way to learn by mistakes of others. There are certain things that to do them well is not enough to have learned them. He has not learned the lessons of life who has not overcome any fear daily.
