Life Lessons
It's raining again
, after glorious weather over the weekend and on Monday. Sigh. And here I was, prematurely rejoicing.
Anyhow, I was just thinking about life lessons I have gleaned over the past year and a half.
1) Patience is a virtue. 'Cos sometimes things take a long time to mature but most of the time it's the worthwhile things. It's a skill I'm still having to learn the hard way though.
2) Ignorance is bliss. But only to a certain point where you really can't keep your eyes shut anymore. Then after that you just look stupid if you keep ignoring what's right in front of you.
3) Knowledge is empowering. It enables you to make decisions and change things. Sometimes it's painful to have full knowledge but in the long run I'd rather know all than be a fool. That way, I can't blame anyone but myself for anything that happens.
4) Trust is key. 'Cos without trust things eventually crumble. And it gets way too tiring to have to constantly be checking up on people, and to constantly be wondering about what they're up to.
5) Optimism is sustaining. 'Cos without hope, we'd all be down in the dumps every single tedious day.
Happy Tuesday! :D
