Experiences are the best way to learn. They are the best teachers for us when learning our life lessons. Every person has their own way of learning through challenges, setbacks and failures. A person should observe things, being observant about the things happening around you and the changes going on within you and outside helps in many different ways. Our students who are studying abroad and some of them, who have returned after completing their studies abroad, have shared their amazing life experiences. The few important life lessons which they have acquired from their academic experiences are shared below.
Moving abroad is not an easy task, leaving behind everything; family, friends, life but all this is for a person’s own better life. Leaving behind everything and moving to a new place sometimes makes it difficult for you to enjoy a lot of your tasks that you have to do. You might not like to do few things but still you do it because you do not have any other option. This move of yours will make you understand that how you can still survive with few things which you do not want to do. This quality of every person helps them in future as they can represent themselves to others that how they survived even after being at a peak to give up or slow down. Hence, you should keep your dislikes aside and give your best shot as this gives you experience and makes you learn even if you do a mistake.
Living abroad does not mean everything is perfect since the day once. When you are travelling and moving to a new place everything matters. You do not get everything in your hand whether you are living in your own country or you are living abroad. This is the reason that one of the most important thing to do when you move abroad is to find a perfect work environment. It will not be easy for anyone to find the place best for them to work but while socializing it gets easier for the students to learn about different working environment.
Growth is an important part of life, at its every stage. It is very important for you to examine the work environment you are in or even the friends you are socializing with. This will help you evaluate your own growth and let you grow personally as well as professionally. Your work is not just important for your growth but it also helps you support your living abroad. Hence, you should keep reflecting and decide what step you need to take, should you be friends with the people you are socializing with, whether you should stay where you are working or should you leave. We all live in a life which is moving fast and with time things are changing and transforming. We do not even realize and in no time our lives changes. Hence, in this fast moving life we need to learn how to settle down and especially when living abroad where things change daily we need to keep our pace fast to move with the people of the country we are living in. The most important rule for this challenge is that you should keep your mind open and have curiosity to learn new things to adapt with change and transforming environment.
