18 things I've learnt in 18 Years of life

From learning to crawl, to dance competitions and high school graduation; I have realized a lot. These 18 years has taught me a lot and I am still learning. I just recalled my experiences and thought why not to share with the world. So here I am writing today’s blog on “18 things I have learnt till 18.” I will be sharing my 18 years of life.  Things I’ve learned and realized in these 18 years is what I am sharing today. People often do this in 00’ years but I’ll be doing in number 18 because I am 18 now; why not do different? Now let’s start my 18 years of life.

Heart over appearance

Beauty is important; you should definitely look good from the outside. What about your heart?  Do not just ever look at a person’s appearance and start judging them. Check their heart. There are times when we make decisions about a person by their physical look, color, and caste. Do not get fooled by appearance. You never know whether they are wrapped up by evil the inside.  

You don’t always have to be perfect

You are the best when you are weird and random. Have you realized that random things go best? We often get tensed by how people will react on us. Well, this is the thing I have realized the most. People will judge you but be the real you. You shouldn’t change yourself for anyone. Live life as you wish because this is your life. Don’t let other control you.

Teamwork

Things go the best when you’re on a team. When you’re on a team, you get comparatively better results than when you’re just an individual. Teamwork also promotes better understanding and friendship. I remember my school projects going best when I am on a team. I have got more appreciations on team projects than the individual one.

Every problem in the World has a solution

Every problem has solution if you make efforts. You cannot just sit and cry for the solution. In that way you’ll definitely not get the solution. When you’re in a problem go deep and start discovering. You’ll definitely get a clue.

Be curious

You you’re curious about every thing in the world, you are closer to opportunities. Ask questions on things you’re confused. I regret not asking questions to people in past. If I had maybe I had gained more knowledge. Get excited to learn everything. Learning is never a waste I just realized.

A good music is the best thing

Doesn’t matter what is my mood, but a good playlist makes my day 100x better. Music is very powerful thing as it represents different emotions with no limitations. When you’re having mixed emotions, I strongly recommend you listen your type of music and boom!! Your day gets better.

Take risks

Everyone wants to stay in their comfort zone especially in teenagers. But that is the time when you take risks. Suppose you’re a good singer but you’re shy. So you don’t sing; this way you leave a coming opportunity. You can win that competition if you get out of your zone. Don’t miss the chance or else you’ll not succeed in life.

Silence would be a better option

This maybe weird but sometimes it is okay to shut up. Arguing leads to negative impact every time.  Listen to understand not to reply.  Don’t say anything and just do it. Even when you’re doing 99% of your best there’ll be people who will interrupt on that 1%.

Appreciate yourself

We are so busy in our life, that we forget appreciating our work. Be kind to yourself.  Remember times when you gave efforts to make things better. Don’t wait for other to appreciate you. No one will. When things don’t turn out the best don’t just blame yourself. Say “THANK YOU” to yourself for all the things you’ve done to make others happy.

Try to say “NO”

Why to give efforts always to make someone happy when you’re not happy with it. If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to do it. No one can force you to say yes.

Find happiness in small things

Small things may look nothing but it gives great joys. Sudden holidays are the best things right? Surprises and unexpected gifts from meeting your kindergarten friend suddenly; there are my type of happiness. Let me know about your small joys in comment.

Accept people for who they are

I believe that every person has their own personality and the right to be whoever you are. No one should change for anyone. If someone wants to change , only then they can do it. There are elements that help you to be you and you shouldn’t change that. Be the real you.

Helping others

I have realized that helping others make you feel better. I have a great feeling towards impoverished people. I get overwhelmed when I see people especially children begging on the street. I am thinking to help anyone in every way from now onwards.

Worry less

Worrying is obvious. But what are meant to happen will happen; you can’t change it. Worrying causes anxiety and drains your energy. Worry less and there are things you can’t change but you can certainly prepare for it.

Be a believer

Believe in yourself. We often doubt ourselves and that lead to something bad. When you believe in yourself, your goals are gonna get accomplished. Believing in you brings that positive energy. When you expect for the best, believe me you will start things happening as your wish.

Be your own

It is good to be the real you over faking it right? Achievers struggled and made it; they did not copy anyone. So if you want to step up, do things on your own.  Show your real worth to the world.

Age is just a number

You can achieve your dream at any age. The world has categorized different ages to do different things; age to graduate, age to get married, age to give birth and so own. That’s overrated now. Do things whenever you feel to do is right I guess.

Social media isn’t real

Whenever we check Social  Medias, we see glamourous peoples, everybody posting help posts, and stuff like that. We should realize that the perfect people on Instagram have personal trainers and planned diets and most pictures are photoshopped. If you want to help someone go help in real. I can tell people who compare themselves from Instagram people, whatever you see on pictures is not the true presentation of the people.

These were the 18 things I learnt in 18 years. Please do share your life learnings with me on the comments.

Have a wonderful day!!
