Hello friends

How open are you to learning, are you teachable?

I love to learn new things. I am very open to new things this is why I love to travel, meet new people or socialize with those around me because from doing so I get to learn something new.

I am very reacheable, I can learn from anyone, sometimes it amazes me that I learn from things that happens in my environment, people may not even take it seriously but I do. I read meanings to almost every thing that happens to me and around me.

Another way I learn things is through books and movies. This is why I love to watch very educative and mind tasking movies.

What is that lesson you learned the hard way

There are many lessons I have learnt in life and one of which I leant the hard way is listening more to what people will say than making decisions for myself.

Am so sure am not the only one in this shoe. Many times we find ourselves basing our life on the standard of what people will say. This is the bed rock to many wrong decisions in life.

Sometimes you just need to take the bull by the horn and do that thing you want to do without considering what will people say because after all, the consequences of that wrong decision will be lived by you alone and not those people you were considering what they will say.

So I have leant that humans must talk wether you are doing the right thing or the wrong. So just prepare you mind and heart to live for what you believe is right for you.

Do you think learning it that way made you a better person today

Well, I won't really say yes or no but I would say it made me smarter and more aware of life. It's so bad when we chose to learn the hard way when we can actually pay more attention to listening, observing and praying.

Learning the hard way is not often sweet, it's a moment of difficulty and anything can happen at that stage, you could loose yourself, become depressed, frustrated and my lead to emotional death.

Am glad I came out better and now I know more to to let the opinions of anyone get into my way.

Interesting. To learn ‘the hard way’ that it’s better not to make decisions based on other people’s opinions, you must first have learnt that it’s precisely those outside opinions that matter... How, where, when, from whom...?
