John-Roger, Peter McWilliams
Life - is a classroom.
You must agree that if we believe that life is for learning, then the process of life, we should provide classroom. But this is not a boring class room in which you sit,-even-rows-and-listen-boring professor. This (as we are sure you have noticed) - an experimental class. In this sense, life is more like a workshop.
It gives us pleasure to think that this class is for life seminar is designed so that we can learn what we need to learn in this way, and how should learn what you need.
Not adopted the word "want" and "need."
We do not always learn what we want to learn, when we really want to learn. In the course of biology in the tenth grade, we were interested in only one way of breeding animals, but we had to start with the division of amoebas.
We could only thank the heavens for "Playboy" and "Cosmopolitan."
I was a biology lesson plan, do not coincide with ours. It seems that in life too.
Lessons in life come to us in all shapes and sizes. As in school, the most important lessons sometimes come in informal, not similar to the lesson situations. On some days during the five-minute change between lessons you probably learned more than during the forty-five minutes of formal training.
Sometimes what we need to know, we know the formal means, such as reading a book or sitting in class. Sometimes we learn in an informal, seemingly random process: from the announcement, delivered over our heads when we went to the subway escalator from passing remarks thrown friend or a song, flowing from the receiver to the passer-hand ("Don't worry , be happy "- Do not worry, be happy.)
We are pleased to assume that there are no coincidences.
Positive lessons are not always positive knowledge. Blowout (it hardly can be considered a positive case, unless it is someone else's blowout or you are not the owner of the store tire) can teach you a lot of lessons: the willingness to accept whatever fate sent down, the value of planning, patience, and joy to be of service (if the puncture The tire was the other), thanks for the service (if you help), and so on.
We can also use the same punctured tire to pass (or repeated, or retries) lessons that do not cause anything other than depression: in this life, all arranged dishonestly; nothing can be trusted, and if something bad can happen, it will happen in the the worst possible time, a life - it's a pain, and then you die, nobody loves me, etc.
You begin to understand their role in all this? Class life is not like a third class, where each object and what you'll be learning every day, carefully thought out and planned, including errors and failures. You choose what you will learn from the many lessons taught to you, and that of your choice will depend on what did you actually learn.
Lessons can be any - and takes you up and down - we can learn from each life experience.
Experience, as they say, the best teacher - provided that we have the best students.
But who, in fact, a teacher?
