Life's Lessons

Just read this excerpt from the Slice of Life. Quite meaningful:

"The family is the nucleus and the foundation of life. It provides you with love and care, support and confidence. Family members have to look after one another. You must enjoy a happy family life before you can concentrate and do well in your work. Everyone must play a part to have a happy family. Then you can help your friends, society and country.

You must be resilient. The real mark of character comes not from how you react to your successes, but how you deal with your failures. Acknowledge your mistake and learn from it. Every failure is a chance from which to draw valuable lessons. Pick yourself up and move on.

Build your life on integrity. Live by the simple dictum that honesty is the best policy. Be natural, be true to yourself and do not pretend to be what you are not.

A good attitude, whether socially or at work is important. In addition to your own work and responsibilities, you must also help others. Do not be calculative or watch the clock and do only the work assigned to you and no more. Help is mutual. You help others and others will help you when you need it. Similarly, if you are nice to people, people will be nice to you.

You must look beyond your immediate surroundings and take an interest in matters not directly related to your work. This is so you will gain a wider horizon, broader knowledge and outlook."
