Life as we all know is full of lessons and learning, lessons that comes through experiences. As they say that experience is the best teacher which is obviously true because when you have a personal experience or encounter, you happen to have a vibrant ideas and knowledge over what you have experiences. But what i always pray is for God not to make me experience what I will live to regret.

Learning never ends indeed, this is a popular saying that we keep learning as long as we do breathe and we are alive. Here on this article I want to highlight some of the great lessons life has thought me so far.

TO NEVER GIVE UP

"Never give up" is one popular saying that is always rendered to people in a difficult situation and I have also been given this words to be encouraged which has really shaped my life so far.
In school i did go through a lot of challenges, at some point my academics were not really sailing as it should because of financial setbacks and some other factors.
Sometimes I do wonder and question myself if I was really going to make through till the end of graduation in school. That was the point where a friend of mine told me that in life, people do not achieve what they desire because they always give up on it.

This is where i picked up courage and painted boldness to myself, having a fixed agreement in my mind that I will never give up and indeed, I made it through to the end. It wasn't by my strength, but by the grace of God.
Another big lesson i've learnt is one that says,

PRACTICE MAKE PERFECT

There is no other road to perfection than to keep practicing, I have tried my best to acquire certain skills in life, some come in handy while some just don't get along but with a right amount of practice, you keep getting a step closer to perfection.
A typical example is when i started a dance class with a dance team back in 2020, we always go for dance rehearsals in preparation for some events and occasions.

It wasn't really easy to learn certain dance moves, but as one kept practice a particular dance step, so did we become perfect on our dance routine.
One final lesson life has thought me is,

TO ALWAYS BE YOURSELF

That is your originality and uniqueness, being yourself makes you different and personal. I see people who always try to be like other people maybe because they are influencial, or sometimes because they possess certain characters that some people admire.

I do not think it is a right thing to tune yourself into other people's shadows trying to be like them. All fingers are not equal and so, all humans are not the same.
We were all created uniquely from others so leaving your own uniqueness to follow that of other people is like trying to put on a shoe that is not of your size or probably not meant for you. Thank you so much for reading through this article and it is my entry for the #hiveghana weekly contest thank you for your time.
