Learning Experience


Life Management Skill lesson was a good journey for me. I learned through experiences both projects and lessons. I had fun working in groups working through differences whether shooting fir video or just discussing. I learned the to give and take above the life lessons or topic taught like fear, anger management and even self-motivation. I'll never forget this journey, learned a lot and hope this would help me in times to come.

Negative emotions

I was once a fat guy. Someone who had very low self-confidence and self-esteem. I did not like how I look and how I behaved at times. Most of all, I can be easily bothered by what others think of me. I hated myself. I just needed a change so badly.I just needed to gain my self-esteem back. Therefore, set out to change. With myself as the only motivation and the goal in mind I worked hard dieting and exercising. It was hell as I needed discipline to continue on even when I was tired and all to keep on with my progress. Soon, I regained my figure and my confidence back. This enables to do a lot of things in my life. Things that i would not even think of when I am fat. This taught me a very important lesson in life. It is that is to believe in yourself and have confidence in oneself; for what u think of yourself is the only thing that matters.

SUCCESS!!!!

Success in life is different for everyone. It is defined as having achieve a goal or something in life. Therefore, this makes success different for everyone. Some may say success in life being the richest guy on earth or the hottest or even simply an achieved individual. However, i am a simple guy. In my point of view, true success in life is simply having true happy. Happiness may be a simple emotion that people say can be easily attain in everyday life. However, they can never say they have true happiness. True happiness to me is finally being satisfied of life and just enjoy living day to day. It is achieved when i finally am happy with myself, have all my loved ones by my side and am just happy to be living. This is my definition of success. It may be cheesy and all but sometimes the simplest thing in life is the hardest to get.

FEAR?????

It is true that fear is a natural feeling, something that cannot be helped or controlled. It is positive as it set boundaries to what people might do and make sure they do not do crazy irrational stuff. However, it is a negative feeling as it sets constraints for oneself and makes us be cautious and not just believe in ourselves. Therefore, being a normal human being, I did have my fears. One of them was being judge by others. I had always feared what others might think of me. What they would say to me, whether I was liked or not or whether I am being remembered and such was always a concern for me. As a result, I am always concerned of what I wear, how I behave and such. This therefore was a constraint for me. It deters me from being myself and doing what I always wanted. I have to constantly put up an act just to please others and to make sure I was being like. This was very wrong. I was being a fake. I was not myself: the real Ruslan. Luckily for me, this fear of mine never lasted long. As I grew up and matured, I gain more self-confidence and self-respect and I no longer was bothered of what others might think. I was more concerned for what I think and what I believe in. This therefore led to a saying I truly believe in that is what I think of myself is much more important than what others think.
