Life’s experiences are the greatest teacher

“A teacher is never a giver of truth – he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merely a catalyst.”- Bruce Lee

An experienced teacher enlarges you in all sorts of ways besides just his/her subject matter. A good teacher is like a candle. It consumes itself to light the way for others.

The most valuable skills that I have acquired and have had the largest impact in my life, both personally and professionally, and have improved quality of my existence are the following:

Ability to adapt, improvise and overcome obstacles

This skill allows you to keep moving forward and survive the hard times you’re going to face in your journey. In the words of Mike Tyson, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth!” Life is complex, your dedication to keep moving on is what allows you to win.

Ability to sell and negotiate

Everything you do is a sale or a negotiation process. If you want a girlfriend or boyfriend, you need to sell them on the idea of you being the right person for them. You also need to sell to yourself the idea that you can be better than you’re doing today.

Ability to self-motivate and discipline

There will always be days when you don’t feel like getting out of bed. Those are the days that make the difference between those who are going to make it and those who will find excuses for their failures.

Whenever you see someone succeed, don’t be so quick to say they are lucky until you know the price they have paid for that achievement.

Your dreams are calling you, pick up and answer the call!
