Teachings outside the classroom

Life is a great teacher whom we never pay heed to. Every step that you take, every word that you utter is just like another learning. And, smart are those who recognize this fact and learn from all those lessons. And, then there are those fools who never learn - the ones who just keep on repeating one mistake after another , getting one setback after another.


Life gives you signals, there is one in everything you do. But, it takes a vigilant mind to take all those cues and to incorporate them in your next action. And, for the unobservant, doom can be the only outcome.


I am one of those blockheads who have chosen to ignore these signals. I was lucky at few occasions but luck is a game of probability. And, hence you cannot rely on luck all the time. So, there are times when you are not so lucky and it is then that life teaches you those tough lessons. You do not have an alternative to escape these setbacks - they have been decided by "factors beyond control" for you. The only thing in your control is to learn from these setbacks and not to repeat the same mistakes. If you do this, you successfully tilt the luck probability factor in your favor. This learning is the sole journey of life.
