While replacing my diary to 2018, I  went through all the pages of my last year diary. It is probably the best year of mine which started with a solo trip, followed by leaving the college with truck load of memories, bunchful of awesome friends, and immeasurable lessons learnt. And, then followed the most beautiful part of emotions.

Whatever it is and however it all happened, I am grateful for everything. I don’t see it as failures or successes. I see it as just experiences which made me what I am today. Irrespective of how many TED talks we watch, how many podcasts we listen to and how many quorans advise we follow, it is our own experience which teach us life’s valuable lessons.

Here are some invaluable lessons which I learnt in past 365 days of my existence:

1. Witness life as it unfolds and don’t skip present.
2. Travel really makes one modest.
3. We are beautiful creations and don’t let that spark die by any means.
4. Life has its own way of teaching things.
5. Survival of the fittest. The idea of Nice people is good but, you cannot survive.
6. All Love is transactional.
7. Be true and honest to that few people we adore and love.
8. True friends do exist. Find yours and don’t take them for granted.
9. Maturity doesn’t necessarily comes only with age.
10. Looks matters and conversations the most.

Rise higher with every fall
