Big 20

I will be turning 20 next month.

These are 20 Things Life has Taught me.

You see, everything about this life is personal.
Even the children you will give birth to,after training them,they will get to live their own lives.
You will get to continue yours too.

It's just like I am now,I do not stay with my parents.
I have my own life to live.
I do not stay with them because i can't be coming to school from home, which is a long distance.

I've had moments in my life where I have cried.
I've had moments in my life where I've doubted myself.

1. You can't truly know someone, until you have lived with them:
   Sad but very true. I'm saying this out of experience. This is the exact reason why someone who's your friend does not necessarily have to be your life partner or someone you should live with.
   Marry Someone who shares the same value as you do, someone who believes what you believe in and someone who's always ready to support you and see that you succeed.

2. Nobody Loves you Unconditionally: People will always have something to love you for. That's a conditional love.

3. What you are always thinking of, would one day be your reality. Even the scripture says that "as a man thinketh in his heart,so is he".

4. Nobody is coming to save you: Try as much as possible to develop yourself.

5)You truly don't have any excuse:

6)If you compare yourself with others, it will only lead to frustration: Everyone's path is different. It's just like the fish swimming and the bird flying. The fish will die if it decides to start flying, because it wasn't programmed to fly.
Fish is fish.
Bird is bird.

1. You will be shocked to get so much assistance and support from strangers: It's not just your friends that will support you.

2. Getting Validation from people will frustrate you: Some people are suffering from low self esteem,if those kind of people talk to you,you might be frustrated.

3. Don't just strive to be intelligent,strive to get Wisdom.

Wisdom is very different from intelligence.
Wisdom will make you rich.
Intelligence will not.

10:Do not Underestimate People
11: Relationship is a Currency: Apart from money, it's good to build relationships. You never can tell where you will meet people. Treat people kindly.
12)There are many good people: Yes,there are. Many people thinks that the world is full of bad people only. No!
There are good people.

13)Try to connect with people ,try approaching them,not everytime waiting for them to approach you first.

1. Smiling will always attract people to you.

15)As a lady, you're not doing your parents any favour by living this life carefully.
You don't have to relate with everyone. Always discern.
To avoid people that wants to make your life miserable.

16)As a guy,

1. Education is an Eye Opener.

2. Your background cannot stop you from being successful.
   There are many successful people in life who were not born rich. You can still make the most out of this life.

3. You cannot give what you don't have: Whatever you've not received before,you can not give.
   It is only what you have that you can give.

Hello everyone, my name is Chinenye Miracle.
I'm 19 years old. I will be 20 years old by next month.

I want you to know about the 19 things that life has taught me as a 19 years old woman.

My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs.
But in everything,God has been faithful.
I overcame many of my challenges.(I will be writing on the challenges of teenage-hood;challenges i faced as a teenager)
But for now, lets talk about my life lessons.

You see, everything about this life is personal.
Even the children you will give birth to,after training them,they will get to live their own lives.
You will get to continue yours too.

It's just like I am now,I do not stay with my parents.
I have my own life to live.
I do not stay with them because I can't be coming to school from home, because of the far-distance factor.

Here are the lessons:

1. You can't truly know someone, until you have lived with them:
   Sad but very true. I'm saying this out of experience. This is the exact reason why someone who's your friend does not necessarily have to be your life partner or someone you should live with.

6)If you compare yourself with others, it will only lead to frustration: Everyone's path is different. It's just like the fish swimming and the bird flying. The fish will die if it decides to start flying, because it wasn't programmed to fly.
Fish is fish.
Bird is bird.
