Lessons Learned in Life

In my life, I have learned a countless amount of things. Every year things get harder and harder, and you learn more and more things. Knowledge is never ending. You learn something new everyday. There are a countless amount of important lessons I have learned in my life, but today I will share with you the five that are closest to my heart. 

The first one is don't be naive. When you are truthful and innocent, and nice to everybody, people will most likely take advantage of you.  I am not saying don't be truthful and nice, I am just saying be careful, and don't open yourself up to everybody. Secondly,  following the first lesson, is be careful with who you call your friends. Don't befriend the wrong people, they will most likely have a negative effect on you, and your life; "Its better to be alone, than in the wrong company." Surround yourself with people who are nice, and accepting of who you are, and will help you be a better person. Next is, be open minded. As I mentioned before, knowledge is never ending. Be open minded, try and learn new things, and it will only help your brain flourish, and cause you to grow as a person. The fourth lesson is patience. If something doesn't work out how you want it, be patient and learn from your mistakes. Remember that everything that happens to you is just an experience, and you have to learn from it in the future. Also remember that all good things come with time, and if you work hard it will pay off. The last lesson is to value education. Education is the key to a successful life. With a good education you will be able to finish school, and get into the career of your dreams. You will meet great people, start a family, do well financially, and overall live a great life. 

All in all the 5 lessons were:

1. Don't be naive

2. Be careful with who you call your friends

3. Be open minded

4. Be patient

5. Value Education

I hope you take something from this, and that these lessons will help you in the future!
