My Life Hearing The Same Clich

When we are born we are taught many things. We are taught not to touch the stove, because it’s hot. We are taught not to hit others, because it’s wrong. We are taught in order to get good grades we must study. One thing we are not taught is that in life we will carry a load. The distance between failure and success is short. It is the load we carry that makes the walk difficult to get to the finish line. We plan and strategize but we do not include the radical variables that can be a factor in achieving out goal. On my path to my Bachelor degree I had a difficult load to carry. It is one that I will never forget because it has taught me the best life lesson yet.

At the beginning of this journey, I was forced to take on responsibilities that were alien to me, and to succeed in unfamiliar situations. Similarly, college taught me the importance of balance and a routine in life, and how it can ultimately lead to future success. I also learned that life is oftentimes unpredictable, and that the way I handle these uncertainties determines my capabilities as a person. Even though it may seem that there is no room for error in life, in reality, failure is a major part of life, whether we chose to admit it or not. In reality, mistakes are inseparable parts of the human experience, as well as sources both of learning and enlightenment. As a whole, my first year of college has taught me that as difficult as life may be, with perseverance, I am able to accomplish more than I ever thought was

I need to learn lessons that I can carry on for the rest of my life. I do not

Throughout my life I have learned from my father how to communicate effectively with others and how words can effect another. This has been an going learning experience with the new cultures I have come in contact with. Further, I was taught that education important to broaden my knowledge, thus I continued my education once I graduated high school. Conversely, I do not believe that all knowledge is learned from a book. Rather, a vast majority is learned through experience. For instance, once my mom passed away I had to take on that role for my siblings. Thus, I learned skills like cooking, cleaning, and supervising. I believe that through experiences like this I have gained the most intellect. I continue to be open to new learning opportunities or ideas that potentially can allow me to further my knowledge in any aspect of my

No one is born knowing how to do everything but we can all be taught. Sometimes, there are circumstances in life where factors out of our control can change who we are. Every challenge we face has the ability to teach us a variety of lessons; we just have to be willing to

He went on to tell me that in his experience, education never ends. “Even if you go to college and get a PhD, you still learn new things every day.” After he went to all of his formal education, he got a job, got married, and had a kid. Then, the recession hit. In a way that made him seem distant, he said, “I was 49 years old, unemployed for the first time in my life, and had a kid to raise.” During this time, he learned more about the world than he ever did in

The inspirational author of The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch, once said, “Experience is what we get when we don’t get what we want.” Not only can one receive experience from not receiving what one wants, but, one can obtain experience from his/her mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, it is a part of learning; one simply needs to allow oneself to pick up from that point on. The motto, “In order to go up, you must go down,” should be followed. This motto should be followed because it improves optimism, it is relevant to many people’s life, and it can be followed by anyone.

Across the years my grades were always great but then came a specific class in highschool. The class was “ History of the U.S”. I was never a big fan of History so i never bothered learning it or putting in the interest. During class we were assigned simple assignments such as map colorings and small multiple choice quizzes. When the day of the first exam came, everything went south. I assumed it would be easy just like the quizzes but it wasn’t. I ended up failing the exam. What was the first thing I did? I blamed my teacher. I blamed him for not giving us a study guide, for not explaining what would be on the test, and for many others things. The only person to blame was myself. I didn’t put the effort to study my “study guide” which were my notes. I learned from this mistake at took it as an opportunity to grow, which I did. On the next tests, I aced all of them with the preparation, the studying and the interest on the subject. This is something that never crossed my mind until now. Reading this verse really opened my mind to know that I am someone who is capable of learning from my mistakes and improving who i am. It concludes that i am someone that not only can learn from my mistakes but also turn them to the best chance of growth that i can

Over the course of these past four years, I’ve learned and figured out that much of what we are being taught will have no use for me in the future. I’ve even had teachers who have told me that. For example, I still have no clue how insurance for your home or car works but I do know how to find the first and second derivative of any given function and give

My parents encouraged me to learn on my own, which enabled me to develop into my own person. The only life lesson stated numerous times to me by my parents is, "respect is something that can take a lifetime to build, and can be lost in a second." The first time I heard this saying it went in one ear and right out the other, but after each repetition I began to understand the importance of respect. Now I feel respect it defines my character, and will define my legacy.

All my life, I have grown up with a family around me whose furthest level of education was minuscule. They have all tried to encourage me to focus on school so I had options, unlike them. It had never crossed my mind that I had the chance to become what I wanted despite my background until I spoke to my cousin in Mexico. She had just graduated from medical school and had become a cardiologist. She became the first doctor in our family and it was such a rare thing for me. I had always tried my best in school but it was not until that moment that I felt a drive and desire to succeed. Since then I have persevered and pushed myself to continue to learn each and everyday.

“Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.”. Everyone takes a certain attitude toward earning expertise or mastery in their chosen field of employment. Individuals are experts because of persistency , tenaciousness, and ignorance to negativity.

Even though the path of improvement is not effortless, it is a path I enjoy greatly. I don't know much, but I embrace every learning experience that allow me to grow as a person. The reminder of all the teachings received in the past from children, parents, colleges , bosses, clients and strangers is a formidable way to live the present moment enjoying the learning received and conversely passing on your experiences to others. The learning path continues, yet, being able to enjoy every step of the way has made me the person I aspire to be.

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” - Hellen Keller. I agree with what this quote is saying. An example of this quote in my life i can agree to is when i had previously taken English 105 and failed. This educational experience helped mold the person i am today and helped me understand my weaknesses. The whole reason i failed was simply, bad time management. A mixture of bad time management and being too immature to realize the opportunity handed to me. Although, something i can take from that experience is that is finding out what i need to take on longer essays.

Some aphorisms make a profound impact on our entity and in my context, the idiom that I’ve been inspired by is, “He who is ashamed to ask is ashamed of learning”. I’ve always been an inquisitive boy intending to learn something new with a vision to transmute society for I believe that life is a continuous learning process. In a quickly changing world, greater freedom to learn and to try new innovative things inspires and challenges people to set clear goals and values. Since my childhood, I’d always be enthusiastic to learn with a great conflagration, either it be from my family members or from outsiders. My inclination towards learning has been greatly inspired by my grandfather. I still remember our small ice-cream factory named after our family name “Sitaula’s Ice-cream” which was pretty famous in the town. However, the factory closed as a result of a lack of human resource management. But with passing years, my family realized that they were not the only one challenged by human resource management issues. In a developing country like ours, human resource management has only been an academic affair but lacked implementation. Hence, I have a set a limpid goal of
