I hardly get inspired by such things but I once came upon one of those motivational posters and it made me scratch my head. It was titled 'I've Learned' and the person goes on writing all the different things he/she's learned at various ages during their lifetime. After some googling, I stumbled upon this website and thought it would be a nice idea for all of us here in the sajha community to share what we've learned.

So, the way it works is you will have to write what you have learned so far in your life, within a sentence or two and the age next to it. Check out the link for examples. I know we've got a very unique Nepali community here in sajha, with people from all over the world, of all ages, and experiences. I also know each one of you have something unique you can share. It could be something personal, impersonal, life-changing, amusing, funny, even generic, whatever you've learned. But I ask you to be honest, please.

If you want to see what other people have said, check this link out -->Linkhere.

I will start with mine:

I've learned that when you put boiling water on your head, your hair falls off. -- Age 5

I've learned that Nepal bandhs were only fun when you were a kid. -- Age 18

I've learned that people who matter the most are the ones who believe in you more than you believe in yourself. -- Age 22

Shantii dear,

Yes so true.... i have been in a situation like that when i was young and naive. But proud to say I started getting my eyesight back bit by bit and seeing him for what he really was.. now he is out of my life. Now i have perfect vision and waiting for my hero. Oh Romeo, where art thou baby?

I've learned to keep my door locked or get robbed at gunpoint in my own apartment!Age- 18, Houston, TX. (thanks god I wasn't ass raped!)

I know that was not your fault!

But it was a life long lesson for that fool talking to his gf outside!

Tamang,

Good to see u are seeing the positive in the negative things...nice!

I've learnt always look for the good things in any sh*t situations - 20

Below are some of the things that I have learned/realized over my lifetime. Since all of them are not objective things, I believe I learned them as a process and realized them at a certain point. Thoughts got mixed with facts and then rationalizing them worked up to create yet another thought.

Learning is a gradual process just like life as a journey, although the realization/revelation is like getting the solution from the equation. It's the process that is vital, although solution is what counts in the end.

When you have learned something well, it's really hard to unlearn that.

You can make philosophy out of life, but to make life out of a philosophy is an absurd decision.

When randomness becomes a rule, systematic rules make little or no sense.

It's not true because somebody said so, but it's the corollary: somebody said so because it was/is true.

When you are working and you are thinking, which is pertinent to your work, it's single tasking; when you are doing something and thinking entirely different, it's multitasking- like when you are dish-washing and thinking.

Why try to remember something, when you want to forget it?! It's pointless.

Obviously, it's better to be simply late than really late. You might be considered for being late but hardly you would be considered for being really late.

Don't try to be like others, as someone said "Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you do." If you try to be like others, you wouldn't be YOU. However, it doesn't provide you an excuse to be a jackass : )

I've learnt that, life is tough, love is tougher.

lol..
