The way our lives are meant to teach us, is something different from the methods of our schools. It's beyond that. <ul><li>Life doesn't teaches in lectures: Right? Life won't lecture us to make us understand what to do and what not to do!</li><li>Life will push: Our life doesn't talk to us. Or does it? It rather pushes us, punches us in the face, to make us learn something.</li><li>The loop: If we learn what life's trying to say, we'd grow. If not, life will somehow put us again in the same condition. Rethink!</li></ul>

The Way Life Teaches

Although we have been successful in our careers, they have not turned out quite as we expected. We both have changed positions several times-for all the right reasons-but there are no pension plans vesting on our behalf. Our retirement funds are growing only through our individual contributions. Michael and I have a wonderful marriage with three great children. As I write this, two are in college and one is just beginning high school. We have spent a fortune making sure our children have received the best education available. One day in 1996, one of my children came home disillusioned with school. He was bored and tired of studying. “Why should I put time into studying subjects I will never use in real life?” he protested. Without thinking, I responded, “Because if you don't get good grades, you won't get into college.” “Regardless of whether I go to college,” he replied, “I'm going to be rich.”
