What has life taught you?     Will you be willing to share this with others?

I’m doing a bit of a research project and I need your help.

What are the things that would have helped you, if you had learnt about them earlier (in school for instance?)

I had to learn a lot of life’s lessons the hard way… and I believe that we should share our lessons learnt with each other more frequently.

It might just be that there are too few mentors out there sharing their experiences, but then again their might also be too few students, willing to learn…willing to bump their own head…

Here are some of the things (I could think of) that I would have loved to learn at a much earlier stage in my life:

• How to work with money effectively
• How to manage my emotions and thoughts
• The value of healthy habits and routines
• How to handle conflict
• How to deal with difficult people
• The importance of believing in yourself and your abilities
• Getting over myself…realising that the world does not revolve around me :-)
• The value of letting some time pass, before making critical decisions
• Confronting interpersonal issues as soon as possible
• Not to take life too seriously – it’s okay to have fun once in a while…

What have you personally learnt with regard to these lessons?

What other subjects would you include in a list like this? And what have you learnt on that subject?
