LIFE ITSELF IS A SCHOOL....
LIFE ITSELF IS A SCHOOL
Many things I know today was not taught in school. Life is a teacher on his own that it shapes you the way you might not even imagine of. We were told about many things in behavioral science and social studies then in school but there after School we get to see another part of life that was not taught or talk about in school. However get to realize that this is the reality we are talking about. You know, it is very easy to learn theories crame them in your head and pour them out in examination hall. But when you get to practical you do them with your hands and exercise them while talking or as the process is going on.
That's just life for us, when we were in school it was very easy, do this do that you make it in life but then we have come to the confirmation that you can still do this and do that without making it in life or without being successful in life. That's the painful part of it when you get to realize that that which you know is not the truth, you have to disconnect from that formal information to align with the current information, however here it is not just an information it is the reality of life.
This is actually common to everyone, I know many persons who will comfortably tell you that what they know today in life, was not even taught in school or told to them by anyone. It is what I call "life experience teacher". For me, while growing up I believe that everything I need in life I can actually call on someone and get it. Just because during our days in secondary school primary school everything we needed will call mom, dad and they will always provide it for us.
You get to your point then I have to realize that I have to let go of this spirit of entitlement, I realize I'm becoming a man and there are some responsibilities I need to take on my own, Some personal things or need I have to provide for myself. Many people today always think that people sweet are automatically their own inheritance or they have a share in it. Anyways, it is an African mentality.

Another thing I've learned in life that was not taught in school is that "things don't always work the way you imagine them. I always have it in mind that if I should imagine of something or think of getting something if I should do it, then I will get it. Not untill I sat for my first preliminary training session examination then I didn't make it, that was when I realized that you can actually imagine of something and it will not come to pass if you don't work towards achieve in it and sometimes you can actually work towards achieve it and nature or life has a way of not letting it come to pass at that point.
Life has taught me a lot of lessons more bigger than what was taught in school. The behavior was an attitude I inculcate or exhibit today, isn't what was being taught in class or school. The way I see life is totally different from where I used to see it before and I know many persons has a lot of stories about their experiences that are different from what was taught in school and the current life they are living. Life itself is a school.
Thanks for reading my blog and dropping a thoughtful reply.
What we learnt in school is indeed different when we come out to the real world. good lesson to understand that entitlement is wrong and that life plays differently from how you what it.
Life is a great school, and on this path that is life we have so many lessons to learn, and this should always be our spirit, always open to learning, with good things and others not so good, but everything has its message for us to learn.
Learning never stops, if we stop learning we stop growing, ignorance is expensive but knowledge is empowering, it doesn't matter where we are as far as we are better than the way we were yesterday
I have someone who always reminds me that things won’t always go the way I want them to go. It is annoying anytime he says it but that also makes me know that he is saying the truth.
Life indeed in itself is a school.
