The Best Teacher

Two Saturdays ago my boyfriend was interviewed for a project of his friend’s friend. Since it was a Saturday, which is our day together I tagged along in meeting his friend and his friend’s friend :P I was with them during the interview and one of the questions was “What advice could you give to the graduating students?”

If I was asked my advice would be: “Experience is the best teacher.” I know it doesn’t sound like an advice but with my situation right now this is what/how I relate best with. It may sound so cliché, but I do believe that experience is the best teacher. Every time we wake up to a new morning also comes new experiences. And each experience(s) will make us a better person. We might not realize it but our everyday experiences made us to who we are and where we are right now. We’re growing up into the kind of person we want to be because of our everyday experiences.

Each experience(s), whether good or bad teaches us a lot of things. We learn from our bad experiences or past mistakes. Trials make us stronger, tougher and wiser. We realize that the easiest solutions may not always be the best. And this helps us to grow and if we are faced with another trial we would know how to handle them already. If we do the same mistakes again, then it just shows that we have not learned from those mistakes.

A person can know a lot of things, be obsessed in getting high grades, be a perfectionist but can’t pass the lessons in life or be a fool when it comes to dealing with his/her life. Life is not perfect; life is not about getting high grades. The best lessons are those not found in textbooks. :)
