Hi and assalammualaikum 💕💕💕💕

That was it.  Simple, to the point, and very clear on what he meant.

He was teaching us that sometimes the most important lessons we learn are the ones we never expect.  If we don’t take the time to soak in everything, take advantage of every opportunity, like a sponge, we may end up missing the most important lessons of our lives.

5 “Life Lessons” Every Student Should Learn

1. Be a Sponge

“Soak” in every thing you can while in class and outside of class. Take advantage of your education and your opportunities in life. Knowledge comes in many forms and if you don’t pay close attention, you may just miss out in the end.

2. Success Requires Hard Work

If you want to be successful you will have to work… hard.  Just because life doesn’t seem fair, it doesn’t mean you quit.  If youpersevere and work hard you can accomplish things you never thought possible.

3. Kindness and Respect can go a long way

When you are kind and respectful you are remembered.  Little acts of kindness for people less fortunate than you will pay dividends in more ways than you think. Showing respect to people will not only help you earn respect yourself, but will also help lead you on the path to success.

4. It’s not all about you

There is nothing more annoying than hearing someone talk about themselves and their accomplishments endlessly. Remember that you are not the epicenter of the universe. Take time to care about other people.  Learn to listen more than you speak and it will help you to keep things in perspective.

5. Your words matter    

Consider your words carefully. Use them for good rather than harm. It is very difficult to take back the things you say to people.  Be wise in what you say and take the time to think before you speak, especially when you are frustrated or angry.  Saying the wrong thing without thinking can bring about unwanted consequences.
