Free Training by Life

Often times we observe others and learn what we should do; at the same time we also come across incidents in life where we learn what NOT to do. Recently, I came across such an incident and I got to learn some important lessons of life. Some of them I already believe in, so my belief has become stronger towards those, the others I got to learn for the very first time.

I have learned that...

• it is easy to think someone is wrong just because they act/behave differently than you.



• it is easy to find faults with others' thinking specially when it is different than our thinking.



• it is easy to give advice to others without realizing they did not even ask for it.



• it is easy to hurt/upset someone than to apologize to them for our mistakes.



• it is easy to assume and judge people. When in doubt, ask questions first.



• there are better ways to give your opinion to others than just be bitter and frank.

• there is no way to undo the damage done by words.



• drinking ruins people's lives because a lot of times when a person is drunk he/she doesn't realize what they are doing and quite often they end up behaving in a way that they will regret later. One of them is, sending emails when being drunk.



• it takes more effort to dislike somebody than to be indifferent towards them.



• life is too short to waste on things we don't like; Better let them be and move on with life.
