If You Could Teach the Next Generation One Lesson About Life, What Would It Be?

[Veronika_p]

The older I get, the more I realize that some of the most important lessons in life aren't taught in classrooms.

Nobody really teaches you how to deal with heartbreak. 💔
How to choose your friends.
How to handle failure.
How to recognize a person who genuinely cares about you.
How to walk away from something that is hurting you.
Or how to appreciate the ordinary moments that you once thought didn't matter.

We spend years learning mathematics, science, history and countless other things, but some of life's hardest lessons only come through experience.

So if you could sit down with the next generation and give them one piece of advice about life, something you genuinely wish someone had told you when you were younger…

What would you tell them? ❤️

And maybe more importantly:

What lesson did life teach you the hard way that you wish you had learned sooner?

I would teach one of the first things we do we learn is the guide line for life

We are born we have all the knowledge in the world within us and depending how much love we get who our parents are little by little that knowledge gets taken away

By the way we are treated the things we go through every day from the first day we are born some of us hold on to it some of us understand it and many don't

But the greatest thing is when we stand up and we want to be like everybody else and we learn how to walk and we fall down and we get back up and we fall down and we get back up and we don't stop until we walk

The greatest thing you can remember in life is never give up if you want something go get it stand up and do it you're going to fall down that's okay brush yourself off but don't sit there stand back up and walk

That is your guideline for the rest of your life no matter what you go through don't sit there stand up and walk

The worst mistake a parent can say to a child is no you can't do that no you're not good enough no no no

You never put a child down you've raised them up you back there play you help them succeed

Not by making it all about you the parent

You make it all about them You let them fall And you watch them get back up

You don't take from them putting them in time out for discipline hitting and yelling screaming

You give them more responsibility You allow them to see the light

You raise them to become 10 times better than you by making them independent by making them strong by making them want to be the best they can possibly be

You do not verbally destroy them mentally destroy them you do not hit them you teach them they are the only ones in the world that they have when it comes down to it they have to make the right choices they can only be as good as they want to be and you instill that into them so they someday can change the world

Life Lessons I’d teach the next generations,

No one can control or tell you what is worth believing or doing, that is something you figure out on your own. If you have a dream or a desire, chase it especially when it is positive for you and keeps you going. And don’t do things for others’ approval, do them because it gives you motivation to continue also pushes you to overcome obstacles to strengthen you at your core. You only get one life so, make it worthwhile and magical.

Just because something is legal or illegal doesn’t make it morally correct or morally wrong, that is up for you to decide and you are allowed to speak against injustices of this cruel world for the better of it, especially to question leadership that led to the injustices in the first place and don’t correct the wrongs of the past.

Your privacy, your rights, your freedoms matter, don’t take them for granted.
Gain knowledge and combat the binds that hold you down and forces working to keep your fellow people down. If you want to be free then you have a God given right to be free.

Always question authority and ask if this is really the best we can do and demand more. Always demand more.

[MisterWack]

They are not clay to be molded, they are the artists chiseling their own destiny, beliefs, how they interact with the world so, I would want them to embrace that and forge their own self, own path, share their own discoveries. That is what its all about in these lessons.

#1. Octopuses die upon procreation. Their entire lifecycle is best described as a dangerous mental illness. That's an example of how Mother Nature is not our friend. Our instincts and impulses may well be her untrustworthy whisperings. Cultural norms may be her mad, flailing seizures so they shouldn't be trusted either.

The hope of life and source of goodness relies in the consciences and reasoning capacity of sapient beings, so thinking outside the box can often be a good idea.

One of my favorite outside-the-box-thinkers, for example, is David Benatar, who believes that human procreation is morally wrong. He's not necessarily right, but I think that's okay. He's got an arguably sensible thought process he thought up using his own reasoning, and I think that alone is quite admirable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#2. I think we are born to be incredibly biased. I therefore recommend practicing wanting to be wrong, in the context of thinking about moral conundrums. Obviously in your general life being wrong is a bad thing and we should strive not to be wrong, but when dealing with abstract moral conundrums I think taking the long way around, and striving to train oneself to eagerly crave to be wrong will lead to the least amount of bias.

Strive to perceive being wrong in the above context (and in the above context alone - that of contemplating moral conundrums) not as a failure, but moreso similar to opening a Christmas gift - something fun. The gift you will receive from being wrong is the gift of both fascinating new knowledge, and the gift of a potential new friend with something to teach you, or perhaps a worthy new adversary for you to compete with so that you both may grow... and that mentality, I think, is the best way to remove bias from ourselves.

you're becoming my 2nd favorite gagger with all yoru reflecting thoughtful questions.

you are correct! The answer is..."seek the truth and ask good questions"

Lessons: get to know yourself, heal your inner child and build your strenght. Not everyone else is like you or thinks like you, some will hurt you and think they are right.

Life will change every 10 years. Plan on that, the one thing you'll have is change.

Learn to laugh and think for yourself.

A brokers job is to make you more broke.

Take in other viewpoints but make your own decision.

School is very over rated... beneficial, if you pay attention and can ask good questions as you have.

Check out Christ's offer, it's the best there is. Being reborn to be saved, makes sense... now, didn't when I was your age.

I don't know why schools don't have classes taught by life coaches to teach them about the things that you mentioned and more.

I think that it would have to be about God and Jesus Christ and how much we are loved and never alone when we decide to invite Jesus Christ into our lives and become one of God's children and have all of our sins forgiven and go to heaven when we die.

Of course there is a lot more to this, but this would be what I would teach them.

Suck it up buttercup. No one is coming to save you. Everyone else is in more or less the same situation as you. Force them to choose and they will choose themselves every time. Why wouldn't they?

Learn to embrace the chaos and take some risks. Make decisions. Live with the results. Learn from your failures. And savor your victories.

[Anonymous]

To savor the moment. Not to channel dead poet's society here. But suck the marrow out of life. Odds are against you EVER getting ahead regardless of what you do. Life is designed to keep you on the treadmill and working till you're all used up. So do what you HAVE TO DO, and nothing more. F*** the boomers that say you're just not giving enough. The coutry has never been richer (country, not gov't). How bout you? How bout your parents? How bout your peers? Exactly!

[FreyaRed]

Don't trust anyone who tries to say you what you have to do or to think.

[strateguy632]

finally a real society question! so from your suggestions best is How to choose your friends.

[duntoldya]

There is no group or system oppressing you. If your life is shitty it's because you suck at decision making. No one is coming to save you. So you'll have to figure things out yourself. No one owes you anything. The people in the world are largely indifferent to you, they're too focused on their own lives. Never mistake incompetence for malice.

I would teach men and boys to never get married until the courts start treating men with the same respect and deference that they treat women with.

[Shiprex]

Join the army. It's paid fun and frolics. You'll get to do stuff normally you couldn't afford and make lifetime friends.

[TonyMetal___1986]

Love, marriage and family are the most important!

[loveslongnails]

"Always follow the money" when you want to know who is behind whatever you looking for.

[exitseven]

There are no shortcuts in life and hookups will not make you happy

[jahaims]

Classrooms don't teach shit. Learn how to have honest introspection. Learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy validation.

[Jersey2]

Socialism and Communism don’t work. You will hate it.

[Staximus]

The world has never been a fair place, get used to it
