life is the most intriguing subject. death is absolute for we know very little what occurs after death. so it is the life that we lead in a lifetime.i once got into problem in my school days by over-relying on a friend. from that day, i got a lesson and vowed to be cautious. do you have experiences where life has taught you a lesson.

Hi, Yes buddy not just a lesson but a big lesson and that too not only once but unfortunately more than twice. Really from that point onwards i am not trusting on anyone except myself. Its a long story but keeping it short that, once i had helped a person rather persons who were well known to me and i helped those persons everytime, everyday, on everystep of their lives. One among them was not having money to pay rent and was not having pocket money, believe me at that time i was not working rather i was not earning but still i thought let it be i will get it from my parents and will give to that person, anyways i did that. It happens multiple times, i kept on thinking that it is not such a big amount. After some time that person did not even pay me a peny back, and indeed hurts me and my love badly that i could not forget in my lifetime. The other person said that get a loan for me (because at that time i was working) i have to do some shopping for myself for marriage purposes, bad luck for me that person said that i had already applied for the loan but it is the big amount round about 15-20 lacs but will take some time, so till the time pay me some amount and i will pay you back once i will get it. So i took a loan of 1.34 lacs and gave it to that person and from that date till now that person didn't even called me up, at least to know how i am and that person also did the same thing to me and my love. There are lot more things to says but can't. So, don't help anyone in terms of money, but if there is anything else which is under you circumstance than "THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING IT" because at the end it effects you, your health and so on.. Best of luck, Bye.

It is really true that life is a teacher. That those experiences we had no matter how big or small, complicated or not, bad or good it will surely be a good lessons to us. We just don't need to learn from those experiences but we should now how to practice what we have learned specially those that are good and are in use in our daily living.

I do agree with you that life teaches you a lot of lessons from time to time. The most important thing to me is that how much you have learned from it and how do you prepare yourself for the future.

I have many experiences in life that have taught me valuable lessons. Too many to type on mylot right now, (that'll be another post)... But each one has taught me 1,000 timese more than what I have klearned sitting in years of classrooms. Do not take what I am saying wrong, SCHOOL AND EDUCATION ARE IMPORTANT AND IN MY OPINION A NECESSITY, however, lifes lessons are all the more valuable for that exact reason, they CANNOT be taught in classroom. That is why the vlaue of this lessons are lookd at upon so highly, and you should not take any experience or lesson learned for graned, because they are a gift.

Life is our biggest teacher of all. We learn from ourselves and others. It is funny when we get older we become more cautious of things. Remember when you was a kid and didn't even think about walking across a fence or jumping your bike, but as we get older we start thinking about, I could fall and that might hurt. Plus you learn that people lie and steal. It is just life we can live it and enjoy today or worry about tomorrow. It's all in choices and learning from the choice we have made.

The experiences we get from our daily life is what teaches us about everything we need to learn. It's really great to learn from our experiences. Our experiences almost always results in the most enduring lessons in life. To make things better, we need to consciously observe and relate to daily circumstances.

If i had one experience ? Well i must say ALL bad experiences should be lessons for us, not just one or two, because otherwise we had the bad experience for nothings, and it is bound to happen again, if we have not learned anything from it. I had lots of experiences where i learned something new but the only one that comes to my mind is that true friends are hard to find.

Hello! You are right, the expeiences you have in your life itself, is the best teacher. Everyday we only learn new lessons from what we go through. My story is very painful regarding my house, i would not like to mention, i become emotional and start weeping. But the pain others give ,makes me very strong to face all situations for sure. But we ahve to be Good and truthful. Lord Buddha said"Be Good and Do Good" Have a great day!

Life is a teacher, but it's not the best one. Because the tuition is too expensive. It's your time.

i think experiences are our teacher..we learn while we experience things..we learn from our mistakes that is why we tend not to repeat such mistakes again in our life..we also learn while we experience being happy,being loved,being heart broken and many more..i always believe and say that my experiences are my teachers in life..
