Life is a mysterious teacher, we are its students & the world is a school. Right from birth to death, life teaches you many lessons in its own way.
Some of the most interesting quotes have hardest hitting meanings. Here are some such quotes which will be a good lesson to learn about life.
1. One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
What is destined for you is going to be served on your plate no matter how much you try to change that using your money, power, influence & your every resource. Someone said “Karma has no menu, you get served what you deserve”. Your Karma becomes your destiny. You get what you give.
2. Life is supposed to be unfair.
Top ranker or backbencher, professionally settled or jobless, rich or poor, CEO or junior executive, life has an equal share of pleasures & pains for everyone. Nobody has the perfect life without any complaints. The problems come your way either change you or strengthen you permanently.
If you think you are living the most unfair life, just look around, meet people, speak to them & try to know theirs. You will start appreciating your life.
3. Nobody is real & permanent in life except your family.
Your family is the only thing which will stay with you forever, so preserve them. They are the ones who have raised you, gave you education so that you can survive in this competitive world. In the journey of education and professional development, you make friends. Some stay in touch, some lose it & some become your best friends.
One thing to keep in mind is never ever try to attach yourself with friends more than your family. People do change, their priorities change, views change, perceptions change. They won’t appear to you as the same person you once knew. If nothing changes they are geographically separated. Bottom-line is no friend, colleague is meant to be in your life forever.
What is permanent is your family.
4. The grass is always greener on the other side.
You are frustrated with what’s going in your life. You notice others, be it your relatives, neighbors, friends or strangers having a good time & wish you had a life like theirs. Purely on your assumption, you make a judgment about your life & feel jealous.
In a series of some events you happen to spend time with others & you start knowing about their lives. You will know the pains behind their smiles. It’s a human tendency to compare lives only till they learn about others. With experience comes the wisdom.
5. Nobody will be a hero in your life, you have to be your own.
No matter how successful you are, how perfect you are, how popular you are, there are battles you have to fight on your own. Nobody can do it for you while you are seated on your couch with coffee in your hand & enjoying your favorite show.
Nothing can be done by waving a magical stick.
6. Learn it the easy or hard way.
Our parents & elders are in a constant process of making us a better & stronger beings because they know the world better than us. They try to teach as many things as they can so that after we grow up we are prepared to face the cruel world & tackle life problems. We learn some, fail to understand a few & ignore the rest willingly or unwillingly.
Life makes sure we face every situation which will remind us the things we wished we learnt in time.
