Honesty and fairness in dealing with others in all matters at all levels.
Honesty and fairness in dealing with others in all matters at all levels.
Dear @Vilemar, I think that the big lesson in life can not be known during life; however, a good lesson is to being fair and kind with the others.
Don't give up hope, at all, even if there are immense obstructions from a variety of adversaries.
Though its too early to answer... however, till now, its making the best of available resources and learning to fight the roadblocks with patience, perseverance and wits.
Big lesson #1: IT'S GOOD TO BE A LIFELONG LEARNER! IN THIS CENTURY, A VUCA (volatile, uncertain,complex, ambiguous) AGE, IT'S LIFELONG LEARNERS WHO INHERIT THE EARTH.
Lesson #2: TEACHERS WITH PASSION CHANGE THEIR STUDENTS, AND COLLEGES, FOR THE BETTER!
Dear Vilermar,
If someone were to learn anything from my story it would be how to get back on your feet., dust yourself off, eat a little crow, and look at ones self, eye to eye, and begin again. This history has allowed me to relate to and be in the presence of many, many beautiful yet very troubled adolescents and walk with them into adulthood and beyond. I hope whomever learns from my story it is never/never give advise to anybody always give your experience, your time, strength, hope, and love because that is really all we have to give that is truly ours when all is said and done is a little piece of me to you.
Douglas
Dear Vilemar,
In my opinion Douglas has explained it so well that I cannot add anything else otherwise I may ruin his statement.
Regards
Carmen Camilleri
Dear Carmen
I agree with you that Douglas how to communicate his thoughts very well. But your experience or lesson you are able to take or others are from you life is unique. Even big Douglas wants to learn from you.
I may say it is hard work, commitment to science and higher education as well as to my family and friends! Dear @Vilemar, I think that You have mentioned something about me a while ago!
Dear Vilemar,
Of course you are right! I would love to hear and gain access into Carmen's life story so we all could learn. Yet, even though I believe my thirst may be greater for Carmen's life story after those beautifully kind and most gracious post. Yet I also respect Carmen's words and the lesson they conveyed.
I am very honored, humbled. and tonight a blessed man.
Thank you Carmen
Douglas
Dear Douglas,
On the other hand, I feel honoured by your respect.
Regards
Carmen

Dear Ljubomir,
I say things about you here and among my friends and family all the time. I believe that the biggest lesson I learned from you is that you grow in life helping others to grow. Every time I am discussing about characteristics a good teacher should have I say that one needs to do like you that let people around you shine. You always come to the battle adequately armed, that is, you bring links, quotation, etc And I have never seen anyone here hurt with your statements and the list goes on and on. That is, we have to ljubomir at all times, to grow as a spring to elevate others and let the others elevate us instead if they feel like it.
I value every action I am able to do and the living beings in all its forms. To kill any forms of life I have to find a big reason for it. Studying biology I learn what it takes for the bugs, salamenders, birds, ants to grow and how important they are for their ecosystem. Concerning humans, I try to live with all kinds of personalities. I usually say that there is noone so good who is unable to do bad things, and there is noone so bad who can not do good things. So, we have to learn how to roll with the punches.
Dear Vilemar, you are very right about Prof Ljubomir. He was a Fulbright scholar, and he's a great leader, concerned about our growth. It's the same with Profs Kamal, Mahfuz and some other RG leaders. They are our power rangers, remember the cartoon? I attach a pic to express what we wish to say :)
@Miranda thanks for adding those great names.
@Eraldo. We have to learn so much from Helen Keller. If the world knew it too, we would be teaching about her in our schools. And many people told her oarents that it would be better if she were killed. She was not considered as human being by some people. This is one of the reasons I am pro life. I have never seen anyone with more adverse conditions and a few who were so apt for life like Helen Keller.
Dear Shaban,
I agree with you that we have to look for to be self suffient, but the impression I have taken from my life, I am not saying that this is a universal rule, is that the more I grow the more depended I became on others. The more I grew, the lesser I was able to determine what the things would be like. And my biggest dream today is to become a guest in my own house. I want to say thanks to people, go the beach and leave the house with the owner. If I could, I would the same at work. Then I would research absolutely what I want, when I wanted it. Lower level people go home at the end of the day and they have no worries. We have to find solutions 24h a day, money to support our work. The funds are needed before the project is finished. I do things today that I can be paid for in two or more years from now.
Again, this is my personal point of view, it is good to depend on others. I usually say that we have to work as if we were a soccer team, a basket ball team. One has to pass the ball for you in order to score the goals. If the team members play alone, this is not much of team.
I depend on my wife totally. This is like poeple say, she is the other half, literally.
Dear @Vilemar and dear @Miranda, I fully agree with your views on dear @Ljubomir. Because his all the answers (and questions), without a single exception, are quite detailed and informative and I think his overall contribution to ResearchGate is just matchless.
When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time." -by Unknown Author.
1. Bury the negative and Be Positive
2. Enjoy the life in a righteous manner with your beliefs
3. Help the needy in your own way
Do not criticise your co-workers. Be cooperative, make friends, and work hard, without paying attention of "this and that".
. Study hard to overcome poverty.
.Try to know and understand people from other countries, culture, and social classes to always learn about their values.
Sorry, this is Not-Available (NA) for my case! :)
( I am not so old to be a paradigm...)
Lesson #3: Always be prepared for change, accept change as part of life. Throw away my cares, cast all my cares upon God who cares for me.
Dear Vilemar,
Another lesson apart from the previous ones mentioned is that in life we have two options in facing stressful situations: either to keep calm or to become angry. Anger induces more stress and so it is better to keep calm.

Difficult question dear Vilemar ! one should have lived many experiences for a long life, and at its twilight, one could make a synthesis of what was successful and what wasn't, and may be one could get a lesson for others. As we haven't attain this age yet, we are still learners. However the life is full of lessons for the self first; lessons of the life depend on many factors from the destiny, the will, the personality, the available tools, the intelligence, the education, the society, etc...
May be the best advice is to focus to be positive, constructive, thinker, learner and fair, with a high dose of self esteem and self confidence, and trust in God.
"It is not a question of two hundred or three hundred years, for even after a million years life will still be exactly the same as it was before. Life does not change, it remains constant, following its own particular laws, laws which are outside your scope or, at the very least, laws which you will never know. Migratory birds, cranes for example, keep on flying and flying, and no matter what thoughts wander into their heads, whether they are sublime or petty it is no matter, they will still keep on flying and not know why they are flying or where they are flying to. They fly and will keep on flying whatever philosophers might be born amongst them; and let them philosophise, as much as they wish, as long as they keep on flying…"
(Three Sisters, Anton P. Chekhov )
Dear Ali,
Thanks for the link, but what would be the lesson one can take from your life? Is there any among those from the link that is more related to you?
Exactly, Prof Eraldo, “Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.” And I like this pic. (My time on RG QA seems to shrink as my commitments increase, please forgive me.)
I like to teach from Nikola Tesla, learn and apply! He is wonderful! His life lessons are very inspirative! When someone tells you it can’t be done, do it anyway: Take risks. They always make you stronger; Learn from failure. Success will follow; Don’t stop. Use past achievement to propel future progress...!

Great link Ljubomir. I have sent the link to some friends too. Thanks.
No great success was ever achieved without failure!

In science, an open mind is crucial. Naïvety is okay but ignorance is not!
Yes, there are many that we learn ourselves and other can painlessly learn from us.

As days pass, we keep covering some milestones, aiming towards destination, with many detours.

Self-criticism and righteousness, fighting spirit...willingness to help young people all the time!
Probably no huge lessons, --- but a lot of smaller things that every one can learn from each other.
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." - Albert Einstein
Dear Sudeep,
Thanks for your your contribution. Albert Einstein is completely right about his life vision.
Dear George,
The person who said she if could not be an example, she would rather become a terrible warning was Catherine Aird. This is very much true.
Which big lessons can people learn from your life?
Passion & Perseverance.
First lesson:
"Kind words may be short and easy to speak, but their echos are truly ENDLESS"
Mother Teressa.
Be frank before yourself,
which means - concerning the Big Lesson my answer is: NONE
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe
The ones who learn how to face his end will surely also know the key to a happy and sucessful life. That is probably the biggest lesson one can give to the world.
Whatever lesson one has learned from one's life, stay assured - it is not the last one.
Never be shy to ask a question - uncertainty and ambiguity will kill any endeavor.
Sure Dear Lan, why not asking when one does not know the answers? That saves times and can help writing a whole different and positive story.
Dear Ljubomir,
Listening to what others may say is actually a sign of respect. This is definetely a characteristic we can see in your contributions here.
The pursuit of wisdom and happiness is complicated by the fact that we don't quite know how to think of them in useful ways. For further cogitations, see:
Article The wise stance in human geography
Article Learning Wisdom Through Geographical Dislocations
Article On time, place and happiness
1-Stay strong through hardships, since as the good times pass, this will pass too.
2-Be sorrounded by smart and educated people all the time, they change the way you will view life.
3-Take care of your health, since it is the most important asset you have.
Unless you've read at least one book on every subject - never discuss history, politics, health, and religion.
Yes,, dear Len we need to live what we preach and know of it before expressing any idea of a certain subject. Very much true.
Different persons bring very different life experiences. Sometimes, we do serve as a role models to our children and our students. People recognize the real values...
I agree with Prof. Ljubomir that every one can have differernt experience.
but , I think the most common lesson that all can learn that every thing has an end and we should be ready for that end .
regards
Yes, dear friends,
We are like rivers, the water which runs now, even though may look like the same, it is never the same water.
Do not expect that all will go smooth and easy. Change is the name of the game. Sometimes you have to ask what did not go wrong. Play the loosing card, and somewhere there is a suitable exit.
Dear Khodir Addam,
You might be living a good life. When you have an easy life, you can not tell the time. A class which is not well planned may take forever, a good class you may be surprised at how fast it ends.
It depends on the teacher first and second on the student. It is difficult to forget a good teacher for the whole life, even sometimes he leaves a print in your character and making decision.
