Life sometimes teaches more effectively than a lecturer or professor in the classroom.
<p>One of the seldom striking facts about life is that it sometimes teaches more effectively than a lecturer or professor in the classroom. The first time I heard this idea was from a song by the artist Zinoleesky, titled “Many Things.” In the song, he says: “Life go teach you pass professor on the road, so don’t ask me where I learn from.” Ever since I heard this powerful and beautiful lyric, I have been deeply concerned with understanding its true meaning. Eventually, I came to understand what it truly means yesterday on campus.</p><p><br/></p><p>After our last afternoon class, I prepared to go home with my friends as usual. Along the way, a car passed by us. Suddenly, the car stopped at the front and reversed back to where we were standing.</p><p><br/></p><p>To my surprise, the driver shouted my name. He turned out to be one of my former colleagues from Arabic secondary school. We lived together in the school hostel and shared a good relationship. Although, at times, we had disagreements and quarrels as is natural among humans who are shaped by diverse thoughts and ideologies.</p><p><br/></p><p>We exchanged greetings, engaged in conversations, joked with one another, and even called ourselves the nicknames we used back in school. He then offered us a ride to our hostel.</p><p><br/></p><p>After getting home, I reflected deeply on everything that happened and realized that human beings are like water. whatever we do whether good or bad will eventually flows and comes back to us and may even pass on to future generations. If we had treated each other badly in the past or maintained a hostile relationship, he would never have stopped to greet his old friends. <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://friends.instead" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instead </a>, he might have driven past without regard.</p><p><br/></p><p>Although I am not justifying his source of income,but I truly appreciated his generosity and kindness toward me. This experience reinforced the truth that life lessons are sometimes more profound, unique, and impactful than those taught in classrooms.</p><p><br/></p><p>Do good always.</p><p>Be kind and generous.</p><p>Never underestimate anyone.</p><p>I’m I making any sense ???</p>
