Position:Home>Philosophy> What is the wisest thing you ever learned in life ?


Question:To date it is probably that when you feel frustrated, or let down, there is quite often a good side to this which you are not focusing on.

It is wise because it teaches you to look for the positive in any situation, rather than dwell on what you cannot do and cannot have.

Think of life like a maze, in which you come across many dead ends. Do you feel sad and angry when you come to a dead end, or do you record its location in your memory and seek another route to the middle?

Each dead end is a learning opportunity, which helps you by guiding you in the right direction. A dead end is a lucky break, as it moves you closer to middle.

My dad always told me to be myself and that is the best advice I have ever gotten. I am not like most people.
