A Lesson Life Taught Me

Life can sometimes brings joy, sometimes pain, sometimes moment or problems that show us lessons. For me, I have realize that the most valuable lesson don't always comes from the classroom, it comes from how we face life daily. Therefore , the lessons can truly teaches us patience, endurance, and wisdom.

However, with my experience the simple lesson is that patience always save a person's life. If you rush too much, you might put yourself in problems that you'll later regret. But if you calm down, reason well, wait small, you will the advantage of you waiting. It's patience that makes me not to fall inside trap which looks sweet but there's danger inside.

I learned this lesson through one real experience. Some months ago while on hustling mode, one of my friend introduced me to a business. I trust him very well , he approach me and told me to give him some money to invest in one new online business. That he will be returning interest every week till six months then he'll return back the full money. Truly I say, I was really desperate to give him that money because I didn't want him to feel bad or see me as a wicked person. My mind push me to rush and give him the money. But my mind also said something inside me , “Calm down, think it very well.” I told him to give me two days I'll think about it. He wasn't happy,but he left.

Just a day later, I hear that this person has borrow from many people and didn't return it. Some people even cry because it's their last cash that they gave him. And he has been playing hide and seek with his lenders. That day I really thank God that i put patience into practice. If I rush to give him, I would have lose my small savings. That experience open my eye very well. I learn that patience can protect someone from bad decision.

Since I learn this patience lesson, my life has change. Before, I do rush in decision making. But now, I am calm, reason very well before I act. Also If someone provoke me, I don't jump to answer the person with anger again. What I'll do is to breathe, wait small and think very well before speaking or doing anything at the moment.

Also if I want to buy something, I won't rush to buy it because I need it ,to avoid spending money anyhow. Instead I'll wait, compare the price at different places, check their quality. Sometimes I'll even wait till the market is calm before I buy. Doing this, I'll be able to avoid any regrets.

Try to learn patience in this life and put into practice. No matter how you want to hustle, no matter how you are pressurized, patience is really important. If you rush, you might fall inside trap. But if you calm down, you will see the clear road and knows the right thing to do.

From my experience;

• Patience can save someone from scam, from regret and from mistake.

• Patience can help someone to build better a better relationship.

• Patience can give someone wisdom to choose and do the right thing.

So let's calm down, reason very well, wait small, let patience guide us. With this, life will be much easier, our decisions will be better, and future will shine brighter.
