I have mentioned some lessons learned from my maternal grandfather in a number of posts and also in my book, “Healing Your Life Through Activity – An Occupational Therapist’s Story“. I learned a lot from my maternal grandmother too. My grandmother, loved to share poems and songs.
An example of a poem my grandmother loved
“I shall pass by this way but once
Therefore any goodness that I can doOr any kindness that I can show
Let me do it now.
For I shall not walk this way again” ~ Anonymous
What have you learned from your parents and grandparents?
What kind of lessons have you learned from your parents and grandparents? Do you try to use them in a positive way in order to increase goodness and kindness in the world? Do they give you motivation to strive to fulfill your potential?
The above poem has given me insight and direction. I’d love to hear what your favourite life lesson is or poem. Do share how it has shaped your thinking or outlook in life.
