Life is all about learning. Some people learn fast, others are slow-learners. But everyone learns.
Sometimes you have to learn how to unlearn and relearn. Sometimes things that you think you know may have been true and appropriate at the time of you receiving this information, but as time passes by, the data changes and things you think you know are no longer true. That is why you should never stop learning. If you learn something new that contradicts with your old belief, just unlearn and relearn.
I learnt a new thing about friendship today. I’ve always thought that a friend was supposed to be someone who accepts who I am.
This is no longer true.
A friend is someone who expects the best of you. They expect you to do what you say you’d do; hold you accountable, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally; expecting you to perform the best and provide the best. A friend expects you to challenge them with your example.
Somebody whom accepts you as you are doesn’t really care about you.
There are people out there that you know, who’d call you in the middle of the night and you’d be able to help them with whatever they need, and vice versa, and yet these same people will not give two hoots about the things you’re excited about. This is when you know you need new friends.
We act like the people we hang around with. We tend to do the same things, eat the same things and believe in the same things.
Friends are the most influential individuals to you.
I learnt that I have to make the right choice in making friends, because what I’m actually doing is choosing the person I want to become.
