School of Life

Some things happen for no apparent purpose until you look back one day and realize that if it didn't happen as it did, your whole life would've been completely different.

Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's a bad thing, but you wouldn't really know until some time has passed. You really just have to make do with what happens the best you can. It may be an awkward moment, a crucial turning point, an important decision, a stressful experience, a tearful night - even just a daily occurrence that happened a bit differently. Most people take everyday stuff for granted. Or even normal things. Additional work might not mean much now, but might be what determines how responsible you become in the future. A simple conversation with an acquaintance might lead to doors opening in the future. The thing with life is that it isn't predictable. But at the same time, it doesn't leave us to fend for ourselves without some "training." Although some are trained more than others. Daily experiences train us on how to respond and react to what happens around us. How we respond to small challenges determine what we do when big ones arrive. There is a precursor to everything.

I guess all I'm really trying to say is that, we should try to learn as much as we can. And not to take anything for granted. Who knows, what we pass off as useless stuff now may one day prove to be quite invaluable.

Life constantly gives us lessons. Some are easy, some are difficult. It's up to us to learn as much from them to make the succeeding ones a bit easier. Because no one knows just when an exam might suddenly pop up.
