In the journey of life, many of us experience a lot of things that we just quite seem to understand.

But as we grow older and wiser, through the twists and turns of life, we start to realize the importance of these lessons. And you’ll find yourself sometimes wishing that you learned these lessons a lot more sooner.

So here it is: life lessons we learn way too late in life.

1. You’re a student of life, for life.

Your sole objective, then, is to keep learning, evolving, and expanding your mind. Some centuries ago, Confucius wrote these words: “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.”

Read books and get busy doing something: adopt and explore new hobbies, seek new experiences, or master a skillset.

2. You have to believe in yourself before anyone else does.

Nothing changes in life, until you change. When you make some remarkable changes in life, others will believe in your abilities. And If you want to achieve your biggest goals in life, you’ll need to get out of your comfort zone.

3. Stay curious, question everything, and if You Want Something, Ask For It.

The ones who grow older but stay young in spirit are the kind of people who see what they want—the opportunity, not the obstacle—and do one of two things: They either ask for it or go for it.

4. You don’t only live once; you live multiple Lives Within One.

There’s a general understanding that it takes about 10 years to master something in life. So, if you live to be 80, after age 10, you have 7 opportunities to be great at something. Most people never let themselves die. Out of fear or lack of ambition, they hold on to that one life that doesn’t serve them well, without finding the courage to explore something else.

Every event or phase in life is trying to teach you something, which means that there’s always a chance for renewal, reinvention, and personal transformation that can emerge from it.

5. You Can’t Please Everyone.

You can't please everyone. There's always going to be someone disappointed, so you might as well make yourself happy and be proud of who you are....

1. Life is a race, and the earlier you start to run, the better. As you grow older, time will begin to go fast, and you'll regret the chances you didn't take.

2. The role of superheros that your parents played to see you through childhood, you'll have to pay it back as they grow older and weaker. Either financially, physically, or both. Don't disappoint.

3. If you're Nigerian, or from a third world country, its like been born with a handcuff. You'll have to depends on your ingenuity and call forth the strength in you to break free.

4. Pay the price for who you are. Defend your truth. Keep to your word. Refuse to be a victim, and never tolerate disrespect. That's how your establish and validate yourself in the world.

5. If you enter any relationship/friendship with a mentality to give, instead of receive, you'll never lack quality people and love. It is more blessed to give, its true.

6. Live by the golden rule, which is to "treat others how you want them to treat you". If everyone practice this rule, the world will be a better place.

7. My definition of a good person is someone who is very dangerous but kept it in voluntary control. If you're weak and a pushover, you're not a good person, you're a coward. To live with dignity, you must have the means to punish trespassers.

8. Make peace with your family, they are your fortress to land and launch back into the cruel world. A person without a loving family support have no advantage to someone with a strong family, all things equal.

9. Money is just a tool to reach your goal to fulfilment, so don't confuse being rich with being wealthy. Life is lived immaterially. If you're rich and obese, rich and your family suffers, rich and lack manners, you're poor in my book.

10. You have to be eligible to love someone, and the proof of your eligibility is your virtue. To love someone is a call to excellence, and if you don't understand love this way, you'll suffer unnecessarily.

Nice One, OP and Mr Pansophist.
But why the few comments?

It matters, something must have shapen the way you write and all that. I’m very poor at writing because I’m a core science student, it’s not out of place if I ask

Reading and writing almost everyday. Try read at least twenty books in a year, and write daily. you'll be a pro in two years max.

Nice one Op. More intellect to you.

Abeg make I add small.

Alexander the great on his sick bed ordered that when he dies,

1. His coffin should be carried to the grave by all is physicians only. Why? To tell the world that no doctor can save you from death.

2. That his gold and silvers be spread on the path through which he will be taken to the grave. Why? To tell the world that the wealth they spent their entire life accumulating won't help them after death.

3. That his hands be stretched outside of the coffin. Why? To tell the world that empty handed they came, and so they'll return.

Intellect!

Facts and Thoughts

*Everybody's got their own shit, their own journey, their own path, some people living in the present tryna figure out who they are, some people are looking towards the future tryna figure out who they wanna be and then they are some other people stuck in the past, doing everything in their power to make sure nobody finds out who they were and that's what all this shit is..... that's what life is, a fuckin showdown between what happened, what's happening and what's gonna happen, I know what you wondering, who's gonna win this fight? the past, the present or the Future?

Don't Answer that!!

*Lack of trust surrounded by many factors made me lose hope in the love I have for the one thing I know it's good for me, I just hope it doesn't get too late before I come to terms with the fact that too much noise doesn't send a clear message but who am i to argue with TRUST itself especially when it's surrounded by noises from true silence.


*Love becomes hate when it comes with a price.

*Love and hate ask a lot of questions, but hate got more replies..

*Love is Loud, Hate is Quiet.

*You can't blame growth for it's mistakes.

*Suffering ends when suffering begins; A message from Grace to Reality.

*Secrets are better kept with a future that has no trust issues.

*It's hard to remember the things that matter if you're surrounded by random people all the time.

*Even in a crowded room all I keep hearing are whispers of my imaginations.

*I fell asleep on a broken bed with a lost soul that had everything to lose whether I left or stayed.

*I walked a lonely road just to pass through the crowd, I pass through the crowd just to walk a lonely road...A choice for all living being.

*I sat on the road that led to success, I heard a lot of sad and good stories from people who walked by but they never asked me why I was seated there.

*Your soul can never convince your body to see life from it's own view.

*I couldn't hear what fame did because his songs were too loud.

*The tongue avoids the teeth alot and the teeth protects the tongue alot but the tongue is right for avoiding the teeth.
