Lessons for Life At Any Age

LESSONS FOR LIFE AT ANY AGE

Since I am a recent education college graduate, I think that there are many things that have affected the teacher I want to be for my students.  And I think that Mr. Feeny was a huge influence on that.

Growing up watching Boy Meets World, Mr. Feeny was always the neighbor and teacher that we all wanted.  He was supportive, encouraging, and reliable.  I found the 8 Lessons Mr. Feeny taught us all throughout the show and I thought I would expand them some because I agree with them 100%.  They were awesome lessons for children, but I think they are applicable to anyone at any age!

8. Random, CHAOTIC universe

Everyday life is a crazy thing in the world today.  Things happen that we don't play or don't expect to happen.  So sometimes you have to roll with the punches and deal with things in the moment.

7. SURE thing don't mean the BEST thing

There are things in life that we know will happen or we can do, but just because we can, doesn't mean we should.  We need to look at everything to make sure it is what is the best thing for us and not just the obvious or easy thing in life.

6. A REAL HERO does the RIGHT thing no matter what!

A lot of things in life are not easy and it takes those that are willing to go against the norm at times to show others the right thing to do.

5. LOVE is sometimes hard to find, but when you find someone that loves you for you, you need to appreciate them.

Friends that love each other even for all the weird reasons are the ones that are the truly lifelong friends that you should keep around.

4. We tend to complain about the things and people we care about the most

We need to remember this and that when we complain that means we care.  We complain and critique something because we want to make things better.

3. You need to remember that everyone is unique and has their own ways of doing things.

We don't all like the same things and we shouldn't try to make anyone else change anything about themselves because we think they're different.  They are themselves and that is all they can be to become the person they are meant to be.

2. SOCIETY tries to tell us what we should be living a certain way

We see so many celebrities on TV and in magazines doing and saying things and living their  lives a certain way that they have chosen for themselves.  Just because we see others doing certain things that society tries to feed to us as being what we should do does not mean we should follow along and be like everyone else.  We have to be ourselves by doing things and looking like ourselves and no one else!

1. Believe in yourselves DREAM, TRY, DO GOOD

No matter what we need to believe in ourselves and know that we can do and be anything we want.  Dream for the stars and do the best you can with everything in life.
