University of Life

Life is a university with the highest failure rate in the world. Very few people actually graduate from this institution. Many of us are busy repeating the same classes we have failed the previous years. We keep moving from one blunder to another, from one relationship to another, from one job to another and from one credit card to another without, neither seeing, nor making progress.

Our lives are more like that of a toddler playing in a mud. We expect different results while doing the same things. We cry and complain about the fruits we are getting without taking the effort to change the tree. We continue pointing an accusing finger at others without taking the responsibility to clean our mess. What we refuse to learn come back to haunt us. Life is a university.

Learn from all the text books (experiences) given for the courses you are offered, do all your assignments (take full responsibility) and attend all the classes. Develop a sense of discipline, decisiveness and focus. Do an introspection, embrace change, check whether there is progress or stagnancy and decide on the courses you need to take to turn your life around. And before you know it you will end up being a graduate. I am currently taking my lessons seriously.
