Lessons Learnt

33 years of life has taught me a bunch of things. Nevertheless, I am still learning because life is like a big university which you cannot graduate. There's always some things to discover, to learn and to experience. Everyday is an examination but you won't be graded. Your reward is happiness and satisfaction. Your gratitude is only to Allah swt. That's what I think.

These are some of things I've learnt, through my own experience and also through what I've seen other people has gone through:-

1. Don't give your love 100% to others, save some for yourself.
2. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Words said cannot be unsaid.
3. No matter how much you hate a person, don't treat him/her badly because what goes around comes around. Just avoid them.
4. Don't make promises you can't keep. Be careful when you make promises because people hopes and expects.
5. You must be honest in every thing you do, especially when you messed something up. If you are dishonest as to why you messed up, you are heading for doom.
6. Be a good daughter/son. You life is blessed if you make your parents happy.
7. You can have as many friends as you like but you can only have a few people to call bestfriends. Friendship is not defined by how often you keep in touch or how many treats you get/give. Bestfriend is someone who needs you when he/she is down and whom you need when you are down.
8. Loyalty and trust are the most important things in a relationship. You can have love but you can't have a happy love without these two.
9. It's hard to say I'm sorry but it is easy to forget after you apologise. Sometimes it is easy to forgive but it is always hard to forget even after you let off.
10. Secrets are always meant to be kept because the truth always hurt.
11. Don't judge or even pretend to understand other people unless you have lived his/her life.
12. It is easy to criticise but it is always hard to accept one.
13. Don't let your heart rule your head. Never let your lust rule your head!
14. Probably an advice is only meant to be sought and given because people don't always follow when you give one.
15. If you are not happy with something, why go through with it? Don't unnecessarily put yourself in an unhappy situation. Don't unnecessarily complicate your life!
16. You can't help it if other people hate you but always try to give a good impression.

Those are some of the things I've learnt so far, but subject to revision based on what I will go through or discover in the future. Did we learnt the same things? Feel free to compare notes with me.
