Lesson Learned #3

Have low expectations for people

Do not have much dependency on many people. Not everyone that we think we could "trust" will always be there. Every single person on this entire planet has their own life to take care of. People have their own problems, their own life, their own troubles. I hate to add more onto people's shoulder's with my problems. Even if it is the person I thought I could depend my whole life on, everyone doesn't have the time to 'always' be there. No one. will be able to do that. If it is a lesson learned, I know that it's better to rely more on myself than anyone else. There may be a selected few, but you never know who to trust and rely on these days.

Lesson Learned #2

 Follow your heart. Do whatever makes you happy.

Would you rather walk the path of a nurse or a doctor, just how your parents want you to do? Or would you rather do what makes you happy?

Your voice matters the most when it comes to your own life. Try not to do whatever everyone else tells you to do, because in the ed, you have to do things the way you want it. It's not always about others, but yourself . It's your life.


"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." - Steve Jobs

It is acceptable and considerate to take the opinions of others, but what you think is the most important of all. It wasn't that long ago where I was dependent of other people. Whenever I had a problem or had something to do, I would ask my friends, "What do I do?" "What do I say?" "Should I do this, or do that?" I never trusted my own instincts no matter what. I always believed that whatever I would think, was wrong. Just like Steve Jobs said, don't let what others say bring your 'voice' down. Everyone has the ability to go for what they want, and what they are capable of. 

It wasn't until I realized that I am my own person. No one controls my life or know me better than myself. I have the capability to follow my heart and what I do. 

Lesson Learned #1

Think, before you act.

Nothing is worse than making the wrong decisions. Although some people learn from their mistakes, they tend to make those decisions spontaneously, or under pressure. You have to think. Just think; who will it affect? What will happen next? What is the probability of things going right, or even wrong? Sure, there is the fun of doing things out of the blue, but sometimes, just sometimes you have to think carefully on certain decisions. 

I remember all these countless of times I would ditch classes in high school. I would miss a couple of classes because I felt lazy, or because my friends and I wanted to go somewhere. Skipping out on class seemed like a lot of fun before, until you end up falling behind on class. Even though I ended up passing that class with a C, I know I could have done so much better, or even receive an A. It'll all better now, I just learn from my mistakes.


Decisions for far beyond that missing a class. People tend to do stupid things in their life without making the smallest effort in thinking about what they're doing. Whether it's from buying something with money they don't even have, to drunk driving. It is inevitable for people to sometimes not think about what they do. Just remember that you have the ability to control your thoughts and actions. Go ahead and make some stupid choices sometimes, but know your limits. When you think before you act, you get a feel of who you are, and what you reveal about yourself to others. Make choices that benefit you and bring you up. You are who you make of yourself.
