Students of Learning

We are all students of learning and sometimes we have to listen to the teachers of wisdom. Who are these teachers of wisdom?

We are all teachers of wisdom.

They say we come into this world with nothing, and when we leave, we will leave with nothing.  Yet I dispute this.

I know that I came into this world with nothing, but I also I know I will leave with something. Something that I didn’t come in to this world with.

I know that I will leave with a lifetimes worth of knowledge, something that I didn’t come into this world with. And yet no one can take this from us even in death.  This is ours to take with us on our final journey.

Throughout our lives we are all on a journey of learning.  Each and every day we will learn something new.  Be that from your friends, relations, or through other means.

We all live through the history and controversies of our times, and we will see many changes throughout our lives.  Some of this information we shall pass onto the people that we meet and come across as we journey though our lives.  Some of it we will keep to ourselves.

So, the next time that someone tells you that you came into this world with nothing and that you will leave with nothing, you can dispute this in all certainty  by saying.   

“I came into this world with nothing but I am leaving with something”.  “I will be leaving with a lifetimes worth of knowledge”.  “Something that no one can ever take from you”. “This is yours to take with you wherever you go”.
