What life lesson did you learn the hard way?

That it is better not to assume things... Because that way, you don't hurt your feelings if it turns out the opposite of what you have expected. How about you?

HI santos mari chris: I think there are some lessons you can only learn the hard way. But now I am thinking about this: don't buy more things that you can afford to pay. It wasn't too hard to learn but when I have bought a lot of things on a single month I've discovered that I don't have control of my finances and this is very important to me. ALVARO

Hi Santos! I learned that we should never be afraid of bosses even if they are emotionally blackmailing us. This is what happened to me when I was working in a corporate world. My boss kept on giving me illegal tasks and said that if I will not do that he will not promote me. He kept on telling me about my promotion. Certainly, he is the only key for my career growth before. However, worst comes to worst the things that he asked me to do had leakage. My boss being the number one liar in the world just told everyone it was my fault. Luckily, no one believed him.

Well there have been quite a few incidents for me because i am a master procrastinator and i always tend to do things at the last minute. I wish i had been more better and more serious in life but i can never seem to be so and i don't know that myself. I keep on doing things and waiting for something although i know that nothing is coming my way. Being a lazy dude, there had been times when i have been set back from others because of my unwillingness to do any sort of work immediately. So from them i have learnt a valuable lesson. Never to let things take time. Do as fast and as well as you can else they will sum up like a giant snowball and might even kill you one day! Cheers!
