I feel very lazy today, can't wait to kick off the weekend, so i'm going to leave you guys with a piece I wrote way back. Pardon any grammatical errors, i'm too lazy to edit.
I wrote this piece a couple of years ago when Nigeria was better (The topic of Nigeria is one that wrenches the heart but i'm even too lazy to write about it now). So please enjoy this piece and do have a lovely weekend!!!
The life we live daily is a lesson
life in itself is a teacher
A teacher with an exception
One with not enough patience for correction
One who doesn't teach without flogging
Everyone says experience is the best teacher
But no one says it's the best way to learn
Then why do we regard it as the best
Its reasons are quite simple
The effects, outcomes and lessons of experience
are embedded in our souls like a tattoo
Hence, making the same mistake becomes more like a tabboo
You have learnt it the hard way
Just then you promise never again to go astray
My school of thought says experience is only a teacher to fools
The wise learn from examples
The wise will learn before life teaches
People often say life is unfair
But we easily forget that for the air we breath, we pay no fare
That we reap what we sow even in multiple fold
That to me is the definition of fair
Things could be easier for us, 'cos with Christ, nothing shall you fear
He is the best tutor through life
So everyday we live, let's thrive
Every second, lets ask ourselves "what have I learnt today?"
Even in every piece we read, there must be a lesson
And this piece shouldn't be an exception
So lets turn a new page of our lives, ready to learn...
LESSON #1: Never take anyone/anything for granted
Lest you wake up one morning and realise that they are gone
Not because they wanted to, but they couldnt take it anymore
Just then will you realize how empty your life is without them
LESSON #2:Take home assignment..............
