I thought about this while writing an entry for my blog.
I've always been interested in hearing and learning from other peoples mistakes. (especially my own) which made me think about the stories i've heard from online friends. some people live very cruel life yet remain perfect in every single way. (such as my friend celesette) who's parents ditch her when she was kid and she was bought up by her grandparents. (who passed away not so long agp)
Do you find other peoples lifes interesting? I do. I've never shared much about my own but i've pretty much been up and down. (which is apart of why i am interested)

Indeed.
Some stories you hear in the papers or news reports on tv are quite sad but it's all for experience. very sad sometimes tho but good things happen which is great. =)

I find the lives of successful people very interesting. I might want to know what they are doing that is good and follow in their footsteps. Maybe get some good ideas. It doesn't have to be a big success or they don't have to be famous. Everyday people who are living successfully and happy have much to share with others.
I think you can learn best from your mistakes. But sometimes, under different situations, you can do the same things and get different results. I agree that sometimes those who have it kind of rough early in life, have learned how to survive the tough times later in life. Everybody's life is up and down at some point. The trick is to create a life for yourself with a lot more ups and a lot less downs.

well all ppls life are interesting, i dont think there is a boring life, even if you do a work you dont like or things that may seem uninteresting, there are always something interesting in them, how you manage life obstacles, your relation with other ppl, the feelings they feel on certain circumstances, those and many others are the main reason why i dont think other ppls life cant be uninteresting ;)

Yes, I find other people's life very interesting.
Everyday, we get to deal with different types of people from all walks of like. So everyday, we get to deal with different kinds of people, with different kinds of experiences.
Sometimes, it makes me wonder if ever I hear horrible stories about life that it never exists, or it just happens to dram shows on TV. But after hearing the same thing is happening to one of my close friends, it makes me realize that a lot of things can happen in life. And that's what makes it interesting. With this experiences, we get to learn about a lot of things.

I don't share personal details of my life with people. I do, however have a small about of curiousity in other people's lives. Usually people that I see out and about I may stop and think for time to time "Oh I wonder what she does for work. or I wonder what sort of life they have had." However I don't ask it is usually just a fleeting thought.

Even I find it interesting. It is always that we learn from mistakes, but the need'nt be committed by us always, the most intelligent guy learns from others' mistakes. Even I try to do that, but it always does'nt happen, you tend to make mistakes still. So it is all about observing, keep on observing and learning and your error rate might come down.

I'm a strong believer in this myself.
Before when my life was like rock bottom, i only thought about bad things and wanted out. (being honest) so i think those who don't keep to the bright side will have bad luck, my father often mentions this. since my son and other things i haven't had time to be down or think about those issues. so it's all pretty much taken care of now.
Kudos =)
Thanks for sharing..

Hi joey,
I am a first timer on Mylot,so guess your my first!...lol
Life I have found is the greatest teacher.
We learn through experience,moreover it has been my experience the only way to discover Truth.
Listening to other people is an important part of the process,
however eventually to move foward you in turn will evolve through sharing your thoughts and feeling.
Hope this helps you to gain understanding of Self.
