Life is a Teacher by Tim Connor You would be amazed at how many people want more or better in life - more income, better health, more respect, better lifestyle, more friends, etc. They think they can achieve these by just getting up every morning and living the same old, same old. If you want better, you must keep getting better. Let me ask you, do you spend several hours each day eating, driving, watching TV, on your cell phone, and you can't find 15 minutes a day to learn and grow in some area of your life? One of the common traits of successful people (and I'm not talking here about wealthy people) is they learn something new every day which applies to some important area of life so they can stay relevant and current in the world. The truth is, if you are not getting better every day in some way, you will never have or be better. Invest in yourself - it is the best investment you can ever make for a better future. Before this day ends, I guarantee life will give you the opportunity to learn some- thing about yourself. A comment I often hear from a wide variety of people is, "If I just learn one thing from this [person, seminar, or life experience], it will be worth- while.” Life is an interesting and fascinating series of events, processes, and growth opportunities. It is what happens to us as we plan the outcomes of our life’s exis- tence. Life is truly a classroom. In a sense, class begins the day we are born and ends the day we pass from this world to the next. There are no vacations, recesses, and you never graduate. There is no final exam and there is no pass or fail. You can, however, repeat a grade again and again until you learn the necessary skills or attitudes the teachers in this class are trying to help you learn.
