Life 101


Its not just great teachers that shape your life. Sometimes it's the absence of great teachers - can do just as good.

You learn best from experience. School didn't really teach you much. University, college didn't really teach you much. They didn't teach you on what to do when you have zero money, or how to make your boss to shut the fish off, or Surviving Life 101 skills. No. They didn't. Theories are just to complement only after you realized what you did. The advent of theories is not incidental and doesn't come natural. It's only after someone who had experience it, and some other just had the decency to observe it, and come up with a synthesis. They experiment it in few occasions again, and what they assume to be a repeated behaviour and belief soon derive to the notion of theories.

The absence of the great teachers that had really helps you define life - according to each one's belief.

These are the things that a book published titled "Things that your Teachers didn't Teach at School" or "What your parents didn't teach you at Home". It's the things that you pick up along years of living. So, up until now, measure yourself - How much have you learnt? Measuring the percentage to which you've learnt is really subjective. It's up to how much you've developed, expanded, and flourished (or fall). It's up to the par that you set. The aims, the goals. Do you measure against yourself or against your best friends? or against your rivals?

But hear again, expectations and measurements changes as you develop. What might be enough today might now be enough tomorrow.

So the question is.

When do you know that it is already enough?
