While Growing Up, What was the very FIRST LESSON you learned?

Question

was it from a good or bad experience?

Answer 1

The first lesson I remember learning was learning how to remember.

It was from a bad experience - I was 1 1/2 or 2 years old and my mom and brother and I had to move away from my father who I adored (long story, and was not either of their faults). I remember my grandmother telling my mom not to worry about me, that I'd forget my father eventually. It made me mad so I resolved to remember everything I could, especially my father.

Answer 2

I learned that an apology was somehow better received when there is real remorse . Although , at the time , I didn't know what "remorse" was . For me , it was a bad experience ..to break a vase - when a nun sent me to get a book ; the vase fell out and broke . Mortified ..as only a child can be ..I cried - but to my surprise , I was told that it was more important - not to just say the words : "I'm sorry"..but if you truly mean it - all will be forgiven .

Answer 3

The first lesson I recall was learning geography from a huge map mural on the landing of my grandmother's staircase. I recall being about 2 and being able to identify places like "Constantinople and Shrinigar and Siam" - all of which are called something else now. I remember it as a wonderful experience. Pax - C.

Answer 4

That I would get in deep trouble if I proved my parents weren't keeping an eye on me when I was young. I waliked to the store by way of a 4 lane road to buy a pack of gum they didn't know I was gone until they got a phone call from the store owner. The only thing i remember about the house I lived in at that time is what the back of my bedroom door looked like.....

Answer 5

That I am a one of a kind and unique person, my mother's "miracle". I am deserving and capable of loving others and being loved unconditionally in return. I would say that that is the best lesson I could've learned and it was from life in general...not one experience or another...it was just how my mother interacted with me on a daily basis and repeated it to me often.
