Just because we graduate from school with a good grade doesn't make us too smart to learn anymore. We can still learn many things from books, other people and experience. There are infinite topics that we can study about. For example, geography, physics, biology, astronomy, art, gardening, cooking, nursing, singing, cleaning, etc. We continue to learn as we progress through our lives. It's an inevitable process. Here are some of the important things that we have to learn from:
1. Learn from our mistakes
Making a mistake doesn't mean it's too late to fix it. By making a mistake, we must learn what caused it to avoid doing it again in the future. There is no such thing as a perfect human, everybody makes mistakes. It's how we learn from it that matters.
2. Balance between studying and relaxing
A mother once complained about her son to a friend, "My son never wants to relax. All he ever does is study inside his room. Once he got home from school, he'll just study until late at night. He never goes out to play with his friends. He has excellent grades but he just studies too much."
Her friend answered, "At least your son is diligent enough to study. My son is unable to manage time. All he ever does is play, eat, and sleep. He always hang out with friends and never has the time to study. He has bad grades and he's too lazy to study."
What can we learn from this example?
The first mother has a son that always stays in his room studying, he'll learn many things taught at school. while the second mother has a son that always go out, he'll learn to socialize better. It's not wrong to study, but hanging out isn't wrong either. If we can manage a balanced schedule between them, we'll actually have more to learn.
3. You can never learn too much
Can we actually learn too much? No, the things we learn can be useful at certain times. For example, we learn about how to take care of plants, soon we'll be able to do gardening.
Let's Think Positive
It's actually not different than believing in hope. It means that we believe something good will come if we have faith in it. People define positive thinking as a successful result from our actions on the situation we're in. Positive thinking can be the greatest key to success.
But of course, not everyone believes in positive thinking. Some people just consider it nonsense or a superstition. When people tell them to think positive, they don't take it seriously. These are the negative thinkers.
Negative thinking means that we would expect a horrible result from our actions. This way of thinking limits our true potential. For example, Z believes he wouldn't get a good result on his exam. So he didn't study and prepare himself enough for the exam. He earned a C and thought to himself, "I could've gotten a better grade!" This kind of thinking can only get us so far, even though we could've actually gotten further.
How can we be happy if we have negative thinking? A negative mind brings us sadness and anxiousness. What benefit is there from believing misfortune will come? To be honest, A positive mind doesn't always bring us good result. Maybe our actions were wrong, or we didn't do well enough. But having a positive mind will bring us happiness in the process, and motivates us to do better. That's surely better than believing we're going to fail or end badly. So convert our ways of thinking into something more positive and motivating.
It takes process for us to convert a negative mind into a positive mind. We can start by placing positive or supportive thoughts in our head. Imagine the benefits of our actions and motivate ourselves. Throw away all our desires to give up and quit. Then our minds will slowly change into a positive thinker.
Just look at how much we'll be able to achieve from a positive mind!

Welcome Everyone!
Hi, everyone!
This is a blog where we can help each other to build a better tomorrow for you and myself.
I'm not talking about using money or luxury, those won't bring us happiness in the long term.
I'm talking about ideas, motivation, and compassion toward others. These are the keys to bringing us the true happiness.
I know I'm new and young, and still have a lot to learn about the world around me.
That's the main reason I wanted to create this blog. So I can learn. So you can learn with me. So we can learn together.
I hope for all of your support from now on! Thank you, everyone!
