I have seen a lots of ups and downs in my life till now. I use to be very angry on God, when faced any problem, that why me for all those things. Like other kids use to get good things to eat and play and good school to read, whereas I didnt get any such thing. But now I can understand that all those things were to make me strong internally. And I really appreciate his way of teaching. Hence the best thing that my life has taught me till now is, "whatever happens in one's life is for their betterment. How about you?? According to you, what have your life taught the best to you till now?

The thing that I have learn in life is that when it comes to love never give everything you have. Keep something for your self. Because you never know when it ends. Nothing will be left for you.

Well that means that you are not able to differentiate between true love and just "love". If you have a true love, and give up all that you have, I dont think you'll be in any loss. All depends upon your luck.

"Life is like a rollercoaster, enjoy the ride!" I think that life has a lot of ups and a lot of downs, but we have to be strong and see them all through. I have lost a lot and I have gained a lot, but I have done my best to be strong through all of it.

yes, I do understand all these things now. But do you expect a 6 year old kid to understand all those things?? That was the case with me... However you have said it right.

At this point in my life I am 21 years old and I have learned a ton of lessons so far. First and foremost, appreciate each day you have and live it to the fullest; cliche but very true. Second of all, cherish the people in your life no matter how big of a part they play; you never know when your last conversation with them will be your last. Third: money should not be the ultimate goal, it should be an accessory in your life. Fourth: have fun! Don't do anything that you are not having fun with in some way. I hope everyone learns something from this post!

cant say about everyone, but I got to learn a lot from this discussion, dear friend. Yeah whatever you said is true. But today, people have to do the things which they dont like, as there are things that comes under your duty, and even if you dont like doing that, you have to do that.

I think all of us go through a stage in life when we get angry with God for our problems. I have learnt to take one day at a time and think of past experiences as a guide to the future where I would be able to take better decisions because of past experiences. And one thing I have learnt it I WILL DO MY BEST AND GOD WILL DO THE REST.

I have learned that no one can ever make your dreams come true but you. I have learned that I should not rely to anyone for my happiness and for my success. I have learned that I should not break no matter how hard life is. I have learned that money can make you live but it can't always make you happy.

Lol! Maybe I have those experiences in life because I don't belong to a good family. My dad and mom broke when I was less than a year old. I have learned to be independent at an early age and I believe that I have grown mature without the guidance of my elders. Life is just tough for me but I have learned to deal with it. Thanks God!

Thats the toughest thing to have. One you have patience can do a lot of great things in life. He can have control over all his/her activities. But thats really not so easy.

Dear friend, I hope from my life I had learned many thins, and among them the best thing I have learned it also many. Still from my life I had seen and known many. I hope the best thing I have learned from life is God has given me this much still at times I tend to need more or feels that I am greedy still God had looked after me well still I tend to do sins. May be this what one thing I learned from my life.

Life has taught me that it is too short for me to dwell on the negative aspects. And my motto is: Live each day as if it is your first; Live each day as if it is your last.

My life has taught me that - When one door close, another door will open. I used to be very demanding and aim for the highest in every thing I do. However, I realize that in life, things does not always come smoothly. One such experience is the rejection letter from a school I used to envy when I was much younger, and I put in everything I got to earn a place at my dream school. However, it turn out that I do not meet their criteria and got rejected. I am so devastated that I almost got into depression. Luckily, another school in the actually accepted me - and it was someone important in my life who helped me to apply for it. Reluctantly, I attended the school, as the fees are already paid. Just after 2 weeks, I totally changed into a better person. And I realized that the school I am attending is actually the one I am looking fore - the culture, environment etc. When I met up with my friends who got enrolled into my past 'dream school', they mention it is worse than expected. Thus, I am glad that the door to my first 'dream school' was closed for me, and the second door opened for me.

wow! your life story have a great moral in it. But how often do you think that your thoughts about life really have some meaning? It often happens with me, when it makes me feel that, all are good in words only, when it comes to real life, we cant stand by with it.

The best thing would be to mind my own business even though the problem has connections with me. This happened to me more than twice now. So tested and proven. Even though problems have connections with me I should not bother to fix it. Even though it affects me and it hurts me. Because I will just be hurt more. And I will feel guilt and hatred and depression. So now, I am totally numb and I do not care anymore to other people especially my friends. Even though it has connections with me. Those feelings made me numb and whoever I am right now. Sadly but sometimes we just dont have any other choice but to give things up even friendships.

It seems that you have bared a lot of pain throughout your life? I cant understand your pain, as it can be understood only by the one who is facing it. However, would like to say, if you don't try to solve the problem, it will come to you again and again. Hence you shouldn't give up. Just smile towards your problem, it will really get frightened of you.

The best things in life are the things that you learn from it. I also used to blame God for the misfortunes and flaws that I have. Eventually, I learned and realized that if life was perfect, then it would be boring. There is nothing to hope for, nothing to learn something new, nothing to prevent, nothing to build and nothing to cherish on. A life without problems and misfortunes is not life at all. I also learned that it's true what they say, that you can never understand happiness if you have never been sad. So basically the best thing my life has taught me is that whatever things that come your way, welcome them all with arms wide open. Good or bad, right or wrong, happy or sad, they all bring color to your life. So there's no such thing as bad or good luck, it simply depends on how you look at the situation you are in.

the best thing that i had learn until now is no human beings is perfect... we do tend to make mistakes and we have to learn to accept other people's weaknesses... this is a bit hard for me in the past because i am a pure perfectionist and always expect the most from myself... but i try to reduce it as much as i can because i know that it is not right and very unrealistic... take care and have a nice day...

Thanks dear. Even I believe in it. No one in this world is perfect. But never to look on others weakness. Just look on your own and focus on your problems. May be you'll have a solutions to all your problem, if you pay a bit attention towards your problem, rather then comparing it with others.

Lots of them, and just like you I have learned so much, learned to be more patient, learned to "labor and to wait", learned to be strong, and a whole lot more. These are experiences which are both positive and negative, the eustress and distress in my life. I have ups and downs, and learned to play the game in life. For me, they taught me lessons in life that are difficult to unlearn...

obviously there are certain things that are difficult to unlearn. But if all were able to unlearn the bad habits of their life, then all must have been perfect, which is really not possible.

Life has taught me to be better for myself..I have been through a lot of trial and error and some were good for me and some were not..I felt like you a lot of times...Like when i called for god help he wouldn't answer on time or when he answered it wasn't on my time...We all feel like this and thats why we go through so much so that we have room to correct them in our future if we even dare to make the same mistake(s).

There are a lot of lessons I've learned. But the foremost that comes to mind is "learning to love oneself more". I was away for 5 days for a vacation to Taiwan and I think it did me good. It was nice to be able to breathe and to be free from work for quite a while.

After some experiences,life have taught that we cannot see problems as problems to us. Problems happen everyday,no matter how we need to face them. We have to stop grumble and complain about problems,instead we should always find ways to solve them and try to put them down. Problems teach us to be strong and grow up to face them. We will never grow up if we don't face problems.
