I learnt a lesson yesterday which I would love to share with you all. One thing about we humans is that we tend to underestimate situation of things and thereby assume it is easy before even making a try. Yeah, I know it is great to be optimist and not always give that bad vibes at things but best not make conclusions without having an idea of the difficulty of things.

There are different lessons to grab from this statement, which the first is: Do not assume, just do it: This got me yesterday when I saw a coding challenge that looked so beginner and easy to do right away that I almost skipped through it until a feeling said I should give it a try since at all it looks so simple to be done.

I didn't have my system with me so i decided to code with my phone. While doing it, I noticed an hour had gone and I was not done yet, two hours went by, then 3 hours, then 4 hours still on what I assumed to be simple until I tried it out.

I finished it after the 12th hour, because I had to take some break and I was already burned out. Even with my finishing, it is not even yet 100% accurate and I called it simple at first site. No wonder they say this statement:

I simply did that, I judged it by mere looking at it. Another lesson on can learn from it is: Don't be quick to judge others until you are in the same situation with them: There is one thing about we humans, we are quick to judge even though we may have never experienced such a situation before. We tend no to place ourselves in the situation of others and be quick to make assumptions. That is why taking a break to put yourself in the same situation is necessary before laying decisions.

Just like I almost failed to try a challenge, the lesson here is: Always try challenges when you see them, they yield growth. One thing about challenges is life is that there is always a lesson to learn from them. You only need a listening hear, curious mindset, and an attentive hear to find those lessons. Then you would see how much you have learned or grown in the period of the challenge.

I talked about listening hear and attentive mindset in the last paragraph; it doesn't just help us to find life lessons but it also help us not to be quick to making assumptions. It help us listen to the challenges of others, how they may be in need, know the source of their challenge and how they can be assisted. This way, we would not be too quick to blame others.
