The past few weeks I have been tweeting on the 10 main lessons I learnt in 2018. I decided to bring these tweets together in one blog post. Hope you find them helpful.
Lesson 1: Friends of yesterday should not be surprised when they see their children grow up and marry each other.
Lesson 2: Handing over a daughter to marriage is not an easy task. It is very emotional and yet a very necessary task in one's life. Parents are but stewards of the children that God gives us.
Lesson 3: Turning 50 gives one a sense of joy and gratitude to God, family, friends and others who have been part of your life. But it's also humbling to realise you could just be in the last miles of your life.
Lesson 4: It is always sad to lose a relative through death but much sadder when someone takes their own life!
Lesson 5: For a daughter to turn 20 (no longer a teen) and another turn 18 (adulthood) gives a parent a great sense of joy and gratitude and yet also a reminder that these children will soon leave your home to live their own lives!
Lesson 6: It is such a sense of joy and pride for a parent when their daughter gets married properly.
Lesson 7: It is such a sense of joy and gratitude for a parent when their daughter graduates after completing their studies.
Lesson 8: When you visit a country or town for the first time, learn, observe, interact and explore as much of it as you can in the given time. It could be the first and only time you visit the place.
Lesson 9: Funding challenges in an organisation should spur our creativity and innovation.
Lesson 10: Not getting the promotion one anticipated at the workplace does not mean one is not doing valuable work.
