What's the biggest lesson that life has taught you?

When I was 14, liked a boy a lot because of his character, good behavior and I respect him a lot. He is my senior. While having a conversation with him once he funnily said “ sunaina, if you reduce your weight a bit you will look more gorgeous”. But I took it seriously, without thinking about what is right or wrong I blindly fixed to lose weight for him and I don't know ways to how to lose weight except avoiding food.



I can somehow manage eating food when I was outside but what about at home? When my mother cooked chapati, bread, or whatever food for me without knowing to my parents I used to roll and hide that food in paper and while going to school I used to throw it on the roadside dustbin and this continued for 1 month.


One day my mother prepare lunch for me and kept it in a box to take to school. I thought if food is present with me I will somehow tempt to eat so what I did while leaving my home I went to my apartment cellar and threw the food in Dustbin, watchmen observed this and said to my parents.

In the evening, when I came home from school I somehow came to know that my parents got to know about food matter. My mother said, “If you didn't like the food you should have to tell me so that I will cook the food that you like and unnecessary don't waste the food”. My father made fun of what I did but never questioned me.


These situations made me realize how much my parents are understanding me, loving me, caring for me and I've decided not to do such stupid things because someone else and understands how much parents are working hard for their children and I should not misuse this freedom. I regret myself and from then I stopped throwing food and I came to know the value of food

From this incident, I learned

I might like a person but that doesn't mean to follow blindly whatever he said and I came to know what is right and wrong and never misuse the freedom given by my parents and don't let them down because of my stupid things.

THE LEARNING HUB: 6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money. Here are a few: -Experiences -Genuine connections -A feeling of purpose -Genuine concern for helping others -Eddie says, “there are many things in this world that no amount of money will buy you, and some things are priceless beyond measure.” 2. Weakness can be turned into hatred Weak people lack the ability to maintain any level of emotional intelligence. People who lack emotional intelligence and a strong sense of self are easily influenced to hate. Their values and convictions are not b...

THE LEARNING HUB: When you wake up in the morning...

When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural. ~Marcus Aurelius Book: Meditations https://amzn.to/3qjadxq (Art: Painting by Maximilien Luce)

By Bill Gates | June 25, 2024 The problems caused by climate change are often in the headlines. It’s less often that we hear about the progress being made in the fight against it. But through my investments and work with Breakthrough Energy, I’m lucky to have insight into a lot of the most exciting innovations—and the companies bringing them to life. At this year’s Breakthrough Energy Summit in London, over 100 of them have gathered to share the solutions they’ve been working on that are ready to get to work and tackle climate change today. They include: Window glass so energy efficient that it performs like a see-throug...
