Torino is under snow, ..its all white..boy, the view is splendid!.

Life lessons…

Life lessons, do they stop? no they keep coming every single day of our lives…what am doing now is just making sure nothing passes by me….jotting down every detail i learn each day..This is a way to make reflections in future. This will not only help me think of the great story am writing but will stand as an evidence i really went through this situations. As my personality evolves with realities of the day, i try to make sure my life is well spent in this young years am living in foreign lands..i chose this idea of studying and living away from home because i realized how adventurous i am and risk taker…so whichever comes my way i should learn to deal with it and move on with life..i believe nothing can stop me from reaching my target or realize my dream, i rather use the word possibilities than impossibilities..each day as i live through..depends how it looks like… some days are really tough, some are easy…those tough days, usually come in unexpected yet i make through them…the reason why i say tough..is the fact, some actions made by people living around me, affect me. trust me, the idea of going to a different place, different culture, everything different. You have to think very critically because its not so easy as many may put it…wait till you do it then you realize its a tough task..think of this. when you were born, you had to learn everything, including, how to hold a spoon. so this is exactly how i think about life lessons…just like how you learned to ride a bike and fell several times..then you ended up
good at it..thats exactly what will happen when you emerse yourself to any kind of society.So it depends the place you find yourself in or the place, you want to work on this idea of adapting. Now back to the idea of culture mix up and shocks. Not so many as i mentioned above can manage this, why? real talk, you are a left handed person but instead you are forced to be right handed…its not that its a bad thing, because in the end you have double ability. buuut, its going to be uncomfortable to learn how to use this hand plus it may annoy you at times since you dont have the patience to see this ability come to life. So, using this illustration you can picture what am trying to say..those who really stay in this new invironment and adapt fully choose to stick to three main character traits: patience, courage and full focus., there are many character traits that can describe this kind of people but those three speak more volume. and the world keeps spinning….
