For me, being a Student of Life is a thousand steps further than just being a typical student that has to attend his classes and do his homework. Being its student does not only revolve around learning how to read, or how to solve complex mathematical problems, or how to write a 500-word essay. It's not just about learning from books, or from the stories we hear or see. For me, it is about learning on your own, experiencing life itself and finding the beauty behind it. I gotta say, life is often harsh. Sometimes it laughs in our faces when we trip and stumble. It even kicks us when we're down. Sometimes I even think that life is a huge joke. But, maybe that's just how it is supposed to be. Maybe we are just too hard-headed that we need to get hurt and be miserable before we even realize what living is really about. Maybe our eyes are shut too tight that it needs force just to open. One of my mentors once said that we should not let the day end without learning something new. I held on to that. And, guess what? It's pretty overwhelming to end a day with a prayer thanking the Lord for every single thing that I learn from that day onwards. I guess being a Student of Life is about being fearless and not being held back by our uncertainties. It is about finding the good in every person you meet. It is about radiating happiness. It is about learning continually—that after you learn something new, you'll find out that a whole lot more is waiting for you to learn. And we should never stop... because life does not retire as a teacher, and we can never drop out of its class. #ABCMagPromo #ABCGiveaways
