Lessons of Life

Share yours?

My life lessons so far…;

  1. Nobody and i mean NOBODY can take place of your parents or in other words love you, care for you and be there for u the way your parents do.

  2. Don’t have expectations from anyone at all. Chances are they all will disappoint you in one way or the other.

  3. Life is not always fair BUT that doesnt mean you stop living it the way you should.

  4. Don’t think too much for somebody else’s wrong attitude. You will end up with a high bp and the one who caused you to stress wont even know or care.

  5. Some puzzles are just not meant to be solved so leave them to it and save yourself from the torture.

  6. Everything and i mean EVERYTHING has become subjective and all the objectivity has been tossed out of this world.

  7. Just because nobody understands you doesnt mean you are wrong. It could very well mean nobody is worthy of your intelligence.

  8. You gotta fight for your right! And don’t ever shy away from it because others wont shy away from snatching away your rights from you right under your feets.

……………………….Im sure there r alot more so wl keep updating the list as they come 2 my mind.

Re: Lessons of Life

never put all your eggs in one basket...keep a backup plan and play with integrity.

Recently.....give people the benefit of the doubt more often. (especially if they're usually sincere/dependable)

^But if they're consistently unreliable and untrustworthy.....better to be on your guard.

That's very true. Well said :=)

Re: Lessons of Life

1) Life doesn't always work out as planned.

2) We never know what the next day, hour, minute or even second will bring.

3) Always be grateful for what you have, rather than looking at what others have and wishing it was yours.

4) Don't waste your time arguing with an arrogant person - they are too far gone to ever consider their opinion can be wrong.

5) Everything happens for a reason.

Re: Lessons of Life

Bad things do happen to good ppl!

Procrastination is EVIL!!!!

Re: Lessons of Life

Dont get too attached to people. Except for family, dont count on anyone being there forever.
Be honorable, even when dealing with your worst enemy. Never be vindictive. Instead, if someone is down (even an "enemy) you lend them your hand and pick them back up. It might not be what feels good right away, but on a long term basis, acting with honour will be what makes you feel good.
Do not Procastinate.

Re: Lessons of Life

  • No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

  • First it is important to be loved then people will acknowledge your care and love that you give them. You cannot make someone love you.

  • You don't need to explain yourself infront of everyone, let them shout, abuse and taunt, just stay quiet and think they don't worth for your reply. They are bitter and your are better

  • Sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel to my lovedones.

  • We must ignore if we find something bad in those people who are actually good to us.

Re: Lessons of Life

This world is a joke, a test to see if we can pass it and do what Allah SWT has asked us to do.. The real life will begin after death.. So instead of focusing on earning the big $$ and spending all your life building big houses - love the people around you, respect your elders and do whats right.. For tomorrow you don't know whats around the corner..

Re: Lessons of Life

Thank u'all for sharing your lessons :-)

Re: Lessons of Life

Don't take people for granted, because one day they won't be here and youll wish you could have said and done more things with them!

Every day provides lessons to be learned from.

Never invest in something or someone that isn't worth your time and energy

Have expectations of Allah only.

Do your best not to worry about what others say regarding the decisions you make and the actions that you take. Chances are, those others are all talk and won't do jack for you when you need a hand.

The things that are worth it are never easy.

You learn who your true friends are during the tough times.

If you don't have something nice to say, keep your mouth shut. Your right to "tell it like it is" or "express yourself" doesn't mean that you can stomp all over someone else's feelings.

Never disturb a sleeping cat for cats are vengeful and have sharp teeth.

Re: Lessons of Life

Everything in life happens for a good reason, because it happens only by Allah's will. Allah is the Most Just.
Never lose hope, or feel defeated or helpless. Allah is All-Forgiving, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful.
Try your best to do good to yourself and others. Allah says in the Qur'an, there's a great reward for the doers of good (and righteous) deeds.
Thank Him for whatever you have in all cases. He is the Provider and Care-Taker of all things.
Fear Allah before harming yourself and others and doing evil. Allah hears, sees and knows it all.
In times of difficulty, ask Allah alone for help. Never feel helpless, and don't be un-thankful. He is the Listener and the only true Helper.

@ the first point, specially parents

@ seond, :k:

Re: Lessons of Life

Don't try to please others. Keep your intention to please Allah alone and do so.

Keep those around you happy who matter, like parents.

Be a friend to the friendless.

If you're the friendless one, don't look for friends. A man's best
friend is his ownself.

You are never truely friendless, because Allah, the true Helper and Friend, is always there.

Take negativity out of your life, because it keeps you away from looking at the bright sides of things.

Doing mistakes is not a mistake. Not seeing or accepting them as mistakes is.

@ 4) :k:

@ 7) Agreed. But the additional part…i would say…you shouldn’t say something to prove it right…say it because you think it is right whether others agree or not…

nice thread btw…different and realistic from what is usually posted

Re: Lessons of Life

**** happens, get over it, cause it probably will happen again sometime in life.

honesty hardwork and sincerity does pay off, sooner or later but it does.
rest people have named above

thanks :slight_smile:

A lesson I've learnt:

sometimes the ones we trust the most, the ones we love the most break your trust leaving you literally a broken person. Dwelling on what happend won't change things, the better person can put it down to an experience Inshallah they won't repeat, the weaker one will keep digging up the past with no possibility of moving on. Have faith in people, just remember Allah has the end say in everything, even when the chips are down and you feel like you cannot go on.
