As we go through life, we all gather our own Pandora's box of experiences and lessons! Most of these life lessons are the ones that we would like to (or rather, should) share with others.
Many famous people have spoken about how knowledge should not just be gained but shared as well. And, that is what we want you to do, share your valuable life lessons with us and others. Quoting Dalai Lama XIV, "Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality."
So, what is your most valuable life lesson? Simply share it with all of us in the comment section below!

"Time doesn't wait for anybody" Sometimes we feel that we are very much important for our working organization and nothing will take place without us so we take extra load and forget about our personal and social life. But it's most important to understand that time was moving without us and will move as well. So we have to make a balance among professional, personal and social life.
I I have learnt a lesson from my life
Don't trust and depend on any one more effectively..just trust in yourself..and depends upon your hard work
Nobody can help you if you do not want to help yourself. You can be your own light at the end of the tunnel, you are your own savior! Waiting for somebody to come and get you out of trouble will only make things worse and take you closer to what you fear the most. Instead, take the initiative, help yourself, and you will see your world changing right in front of your eyes.
An important thing that my father has taught me is that you can't live your entire life in your comfort zone, else you will be missing out on the greatest pleasures of life. Taking risks and doing things that make us nervous is how we learn and grow. So every once in a while, we should gather some courage and do something that we thought we would never do.
Family is the most important thing in the world. Your friends can leave you in the blink of an eye, lovers can vanish in no time, but your family stays with your till your last breath or theirs. Nothing in the world can take the place of the family; not money, not friends, not relationships; nothing.
I've realized and learned that there are more important things to earn in life than the materialistic reality; that is Human existence. It is not worth to give up on human beings and especially the people you actually want in life. it is nothing that you earn is worth in life than people. If you can't earn people in life, that is the waste of that life I believe.
Some time back, I used to crib as to how life is so unfair. Why do we constantly compare our present to our past? But lately, I learnt that we carry the baggage of your past and torment out partners for the deeds committed by the ones in the past. On one such fine day, I gained enlightenment on how I have been subjecting my better half with prejudices made from the old relationship and judging them on the basis of that. It was disappointing to know that it was rather my fault that I allowed my past overshadow my present in such a manner that it hampered my relationship and brought it at the brink of a break up. That was the day, I learnt that there is a reason why past is past and we must keep it that way.
Merging the two worlds will only cause destruction and sorrow! Had I not opened my eyes to see how my better half did all that it could to bring joy on my face, I would have committed a mistake of letting my partner go. Thus, its an advice to all those who have once suffered from heartbreak on the past, move beyond it and do not let your past affect your present. It will only cause you pain and sadness.
My old uncle was respected by everyone in the family and I asked frequently why everyone went quiet in his presence whenever he joined us for any outing or festival. We had a lot of loudmouths in our family who boasted big about themselves but did not get the same respect as my uncle. I learned after constant pestering that he helped resolve an ugly feud in the family and it was because of him that the family was together. This helped me learn to pay attention to what people do and not what they say about themselves.
The most important lesson I've learned throughout my life is to myself first and then think about anything else. We always complain to people that they don't love us enough. But isn't it something that we've been doing to us too. If we can't love us enough, how can we expect others to love us back. Instead, we should love us so fiercely that others also realize how to do it to us.
There are many important lessons learned in life but the one lesson that navigates me through the entire day is "Be your own hero".
It is nice when your family, friends and the rest of the world agrees with you and appreciates you, however the opinion you hold for yourself is the most important of all.
In any situation whenever you have contrary thoughts, think what the hero inside would do and you should do exactly that. The most import people in your life could be your child, life-partner, parents etc, however your opinion about yourself should matter to you more than what anyone else thinks about you, even more than what the most important people in your life think about you or your decisions.
Even for the trivial things like stopping on the road to help someone with a flat tire, turning a blind eye to anything wrong, jumping the que, etc...whenever in doubt, think what the hero inside you would have done.
If life is a story then you are the main protagonist...be your own hero.
When you stop predicting and expecting things to be a certain way, you can appreciate them for what they are. Ultimately you will realize that life’s greatest gifts are rarely wrapped the way you expected.
With a positive attitude and an open mind, you will find that life isn’t necessarily any easier or harder than you thought it was going to be; it’s just that “the easy” and “the hard” aren’t exactly the way you had anticipated, and don’t always occur when you expect them to. This isn’t a bad thing; it makes life interesting.
The pursuit of happiness is about finding meaning. In other words, happiness comes most easily when you know what you’re doing, believe in what you’re doing, and love what you’re doing (and who you’re doing it with), regardless of how things turn out.
Lessons that come easy are not lessons at all. They are gracious acts of luck. Yet lessons learned the hard way are lessons never forgotten.
We want people to think and behave as we do. We want them to accommodate us and live the way we think they should live. We want to change them. But with awareness, we realize we can't and shouldn't try to control others. Instead, embrace differences and honor the uniqueness of the people in your life.
No matter how desperately I wanted to put an end to this life, this wish never came true. Yes, I didn't want to live. I didn't want to be a puppet to entertain the one with all power. For he is the creator; He is the destroyer. And we all are mere puppets of his hands.
What i have learnt after all these years - I have no power to decide when I die, or how long I live. Nobody does...!
So live the days you have been given in ways that pleases you. Love Care Laugh Cry Sleep Play. Cherish the little moments with your loved ones. Do whatever makes you happy. Do it for yourself.
Maybe this is the way.
One thing I have learned from my own experience is that no matter what, people in our lives matter the most instead of your hobbies, your work or anything else. If you don't have people who matter in your life then with whom will you share the happiness of reaching your goals or success in your work. SO at the end of the day, what matters most are the people in our lives. Put them first every single day. Before work. Before the computer. Before your hobbies. Treat them like they are everything to you. Because they are.
We keep waiting for that amazing thing to happen in the future that will be the key to our happiness. But this is it. Right now. Life continues to be a series of right nows. No one has seen the future, so learn to love your present and you'll have an amazing life.
There are so many things I would like to share; however, one valuable lesson that I've learned in life is to Accept Mistakes. This is a rare yet prized lesson that everyone should learn & embody in their life. Learn to accept your mistakes. Nowadays, people love to play the blame game; but no one accepts when they are wrong. Only when you have the power to accept that you are wrong and own up to your mistakes, then only you can truly improve in life. And, then only, you can truly stand up for the times when you are right.
I have learnt this from my parents "Life will never be easy its just how we take it and respond"
Life gives lesson Everyday... it's about how we take it and how we deal and learn from them, those who learn a lesson from different life events earn happiness and those who crib every now and then always end up hurting them self.
Key facts learn till now from life:
- Never expect anything from anyone.
- Love yourself
- you should be in charge of your happiness.
- Respect everyone, and never hurt anyone.
- Share and care.
- spread smile.
And, When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and enjoy it :-)
Being happy is the biggest life lesson.
Life is too short to worry about what others say or think about you. So, have fun and give them something to talk about.
