Life Itself Is The Greatest Teacher

avatar

I went to spend the weekend at moms, because she was the only one living in the house. This morning at about 6am I heard her voice shouting my name. I jumped up and ran over. I saw mom gasping for air, she couldn't breathe. I was panicking, I ran over to her neighbor and begged him to help rush mom to the hospital with his car. He said "Go call a keke raider I have somewhere important to go to".

What…!! This is a life and death situation, I ran back to mom, saw her still struggling begging God not to take her life now, it's not yet time. I nearly cried but held myself strong. I ran outside the gate, luckily I saw a keke raider. I stopped it and rushed mom to the hospital.

Life has taught me different lessons, every experience every single day is a lesson.

From my experience this morning I learnt:

They're different categories of people in this world, we should handle and follow them the way they're and behave towards us. No one's gonna help you achieve whatever you want except you. No one cares about you except you. And no one gives a shit about whatever challenge you're going through except you.

From the death of my father in law I learnt:

People dont really give a fuck if you live or die. Take good care of your loved ones first, especially your wife/husband and children, before helping outsiders.

Never keep your children, wife/ husband in the dark. Maintain a peaceful and happy home, because death can come any day no one is certain of it. Share your secret with someone you know can handle things when you're gone, be it your son, wife, daughter or anyone, and not outsiders.

From my love affair I learnt:

Always forgive yourself first, if you don't then you cant let go of whatever hurt someone caused you, for you to move on you have to forgive yourself and forgive them.

You have to love yourself first for you to love others. You have to build up yourself, improve yourself and start taking care of yourself. You have to give yourself peace of mind and happiness cause no one is gonna give you that except you.

In my spiritual life I learnt:

Always be prayerful, practice surrender. In whatever situations you go through, just surrender to the will of God and let go of the burdens. Cultivate the habit of family morning devotion to suppress any form of spiritual attack.

From life itself I learnt:

Never give your 100% trust to anyone. For you not to get disappointed, always expect disappointment from people.

Help and keep a friend who helps you, a friend you can always call on, who always comes to your rescue whenever you're stranded or have no more hope, and not the ones who desert you whenever you're in need.

Family first I think is best way to say this, my mom always says make sure there's enough at home before you try to please the street.

Those are great pieces of advice and I believe that all of them are very important and Thank you for sharing those advice with us.

Never give your 100% trust to anyone.

I don't agree. trust means itself 100%. 50% trust means 50 % doubt also which means no trust exists there. Buy you can say not to trust anyone blindly and maybe it was also your intention to say I think.

Charity begins at home. We must love ourselves first, family next and then the society (friends)

You are actually right never put your trust anyone they can disappoint you, people are meant to change at any point in time. If not wickedness what could she be going for that is more important than save someone's life?
