If you are above 30 years, tell me what life has taught you?

Answer 1

Life was good when you were young.... you just don't know it until it's gone.

Answer 2

.Life is very short and passes by very quickly. I am 52 and my youth seems like it was only yesterday. Will Rogers asked this question. "Why do people work so hard to make money to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like?" I wish I would have read that at a younger age. Educate yourself specifically when you are done with your schooling. To many people stop reading books when their schooling is done. One gets more joy from reading when you are not studying to pass an exam. There is so much to learn and so little time to live. Don't live to make more money and take a day off once in a while and smell the roses. Don't live in front of a television set or a computer. Don't fall into the trap of seeking virtual reality go out breathe the air, feel the sun and the rain. Enjoy yourself and help others when you can. Don't seek rewards for doing something good just help others because you can never be to nice. That does not mean be naive for there are many bad people and sometimes that friend you thought was the greatest person in the world turns out to be the opposite of everything you admired about them. Watch your back but don't become paranoid. We all make mistakes they are just part of being human so don't fret for ever on something that happened a long time ago. You cannot change what happened but you can always learn a lesson from your blunders. Enjoy life with all its ups and downs.

Answer 3

I'm 42, here's my thoughts, for what it's worth.

Circumstances of life have taught me that life itself is really pointless. Not necessarily because it ends, but because no matter what anyone does, nobody else really cares.

There are a lot of innovations we humans come up with that make life better or more enjoyable. An example is an amusement park. Nothing beats riding a roller coaster and pulling 3-4gs, other than flying a fighter jet, I suppose. More examples could include indoor plumbing, production and use of electricity, rockets and space travel/exploration, a simple fork we eat with, cars and trucks, etc.

If you really think about it, though, what is the point? Many technologies just make us lazier and require less intelligence for performing tasks, like building cars, destroy our earth, and will eventually destroy ourselves, anyway.

Humans are evil by nature. But, you can't have evil without good. So there is a lot of love around the world. The biggest problem is there is no common love, no common purpose or goals. You can't even get 3 people in one room to agree on much of anything.

Another problem is too many secrets, especially in regard to our governments and government funded agencies (tax payer funded I should say). Shared knowledge is more powerful than nondisclosed knowledge. After all the government was originally founded by people, for the people. So why are they treating us like slaves to them? Because there is not enough common interest and goals among the people to keep the government in line. They are supposed to be working for us, not the other way around.

So if I had to sum up what I learned in life, I would say never trust anyone, not even yourself. Tell nobody anything about you or your thoughts. Isolate yourself as soon in life as possible, do not write a diary unless you can encrypt it (it's the first thing curious people will grab). This will allow you to find higher enlightenment, even knowledge nobody else has. Share only with those whom you believe will use your knowledge in a mutually beneficial endeavor.

My advice is to enjoy yourself and do whatever is necessary to get that enjoyment and the hell with everyone else.

Answer 4

Life has taught me
1. Your 20's frame your destiny (so maximize your risk)
2. Your sex life is private (the less u talk, the more u get)
3. Save Money (always live BELOW your means)
4. Books cannot contain God (experiencing him is the only true joy)
5. Never change who you are to attract a woman (Make sure they love everything that is wrong with you, too)
6. Always keep a few dollars in your pocket for homeless/beggars (God sees your compassion and rewards u)
7. Never work for anyone but yourself and you will always get paid what you are worth.

Answer 5

So far I have learned that the people in my life are the most important to me, above all material possesions. Too enjoy every moment because life is way to short for some, and too long for others.

I am still learning to let go. Not to take life too serious. And to Keep a sense of humor no matter what happens.

Answer 7

I'm 32. Life is short, but can be sweet. Live for yourself and the ones you love. Remember to stop and smell the roses. (Don't be a workaholic.) You deserve good things in life. Remind yourself and your loved ones of that fact. Live by the Golden Rule. Never stop learning and growing. Take time out for yourself when possible. Keep a positive outlook. Remember, you are stronger and more capable than you ever thought you could be. You will survive --- and THRIVE!

Answer 8

I am 36 and I recently came to the realization that I needed to stop wishing I could go back in time to change things. For a while, I was thinking that if I could just go back to a certain point in my life, knowing what I know now, I could zig instead of zag. It didn't even matter to me that two of my children would not have been born to me, I just wanted to make 10 years of my life never happen. I was shocked to realize that in a weird, convoluted way, if I changed things (even being aware of how things turned out), I wouldn't end up the happy person I am today because I would never have experienced the parts of my life that made me glad I'm happy now. Make sense? I've learned that in our life, regardless of age, we ALL have to go through some rough times in order to better appreciate the gifts we're given. Even if we wish we had been given them sooner.

Answer 9

Well. first to stop trying to change things you really can't and don't let it ruin your day,stop taking your problems out on everyone else.
Your family is the only people you can ever truly count on when you need help, besides yourself.
Children, animals and old folks are magical and see more than we do so treat em good.
Take time to just be...look at wildlife, take a long bath, drink your coffee on your back porch.
Share what you know to be true.
Don't retaliate so quick on others...think..then speak if you still think you have something to say.
Most artists, writers, and musicians are terribly interesting people who just might have a mental disorder according to a docter.hmmm..........
YOUR NEVER TOO OLD FOR ROCK AND ROLL!
MUSIC OF ALL KINDS IS UNIVERSAL AND NEVER ENDING.

Answer 10

Never to pay attention to people that 1000% sure of anything. No one is that all-knowing. Everything has a grey area.

Follow the golden rule in all things, including business - treat others as you would like to be treated, with fairness and justice.

Karma works. See previous lesson.

Stay friends with your exes. It's a lot less painful and takes a lot less energy than carrying a grudge.

Have a sense of humor in all things. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself.

Hope this helps!

Answer 11

Patience and tolerance. Life has also taught me that it is going to knock me down once in awhile but that it is better to get back up, brush myself off and contiue the journey rather than sit on the ground feeling sorry for myself and watching the world pass me by.
