"Dont count what you lost. Just see what you have now as past never comes back but sometimes future can give you all those things which were lost in the past and more".
this is what my sister tells me when i run into some trouble ............
"turn what you may think of as a negative experience into a positive one because you cant change what you have already done..... so think of it as a lesson well learned, move on and dont repeat the same mistake again."
1. when the going gets tough , the tough gets going
2. stay positive , think positive despite of all sort of negativity around
3. value time , as u value money
Picking a fight on an internet forum is like running in the Special Olympics , win or lose , U're still retarded ....
Doing nothing is very hard to do.... You never know when you're finished... .......Come & visit me sometime..........
By Al Asr, Verily (all) the humans are in a great loss except those who believe and undertake pious deeds, and encourage one another to the Truth and encourage one another to patience

That is so true and inspiring, thanks for sharing!
Hmm, theres just SO many lessons I have learnt so far, but I don't have the energy to go through them ALL right now but the main ones for me are.. to maintain strong faith in Allah (swt) always because you ARE always being watched over.. Also, the fact that everything does happen for a reason.. AND that in life, you have got to make whatever you want, happen.. because no one else will do it for you
Nice thread. JazakAllah khair everyone for some beautiful sharing. It is always nice to learn from people's experiences in life.
Do whatever good is in your control, don't get bothered about the things in your life that are not in your control. Pray to Allah (s.w.t), hope for the best and expect the worst. Be positive, you can't change the past, but you can easily ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
And no matter wherever you are, remember! Allah is watching over you
Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. Inhale positive, exhale negative
many lessons.
one of which is not to trust anyone on face value, but be optimistic and persevere in instilling trustworthiness in people. it requres being truthful and honest, so that others can see that truth an honesty does exist in the world & that they may try to adopt these qualities.
Be open to new experiences because sometimes, reason is beyond comprehension.
Hope for the best; Prepare for the worst.
Be steadfast and never give up hope, have faith and know everything that happens, happens for a reason. Be so positive that it reflects and shoots out like a bursting mirror onto others. Always be happy, make others laugh and so happy that when you're not around they weep for your absence.
Just a short lesson of this rapidly decreasing lifespan......one of many lessons indeed!

I've learnt never get back at anyone using such harsh words that you hesitate to make eye contact with them for the rest of your life. It's hard but it IS better to stay silent.
i totally agree with maverick123 that when a person is angry we should keep our mouths shut rather than using harsh, rude words. this is a small world so when the person meets us somewhere again we will be able to make eye contact with them without feeling embarrassed and ashamed of our behavior. Staying silent is the best option.
from my mom: jo kaam shuroo hota hai, woh kaam khatam bhi ho jata hai
this has gotten me thru numerous situations- from peeling onions to writing exams to being in emotionally distressing situations- basically any commitments i've made
it sounds obvious but having it as a mantra to repeat in not-so-good times is priceless. and i always hear my mom saying it and it calms me down and makes me feel like yes, i can and i will get thru this.

Nice, thought provoking topic . I think life is the best teacher and it teaches you so much which might not look pleasant but is good to be learned for future safety.
1) Independence- One must not reply too much on anyone and must be prepared to be able to take care of themself on their own. Hence Education is a must for each and everyone of us which can ensure that we can live independently.
2) Be Firm with you Decisions- I personally have had lots of trouble making decisions in my life but whenever i have made a decision i have stayed firm on it and that has always helped me become succesful in my work.
3) Don't Run Away from Problems- Yes, no normal human being likes getting in trouble or facing any kind of problem, hinderance in their life but ignoring them is no way of dealing with them. IT's better to face the problem and do something about it as soon as possible than to linger it on and later create a bigger problem as a result of it.
4) Don't Waste your life Waiting- Work towards better in life but also make the best of what you have right now. Don't just waste your time day dreaming and not enjoying what you already have. I believe there is something special in everyone's life one just have to make an effort and realize the special in them or in their life.
I bet there is alot more that life has taught me, us so wl add on as i remember .
