9 People Share 'Pearls Of Wisdom' That Will Remain Stuck With Them For Life, So Listen In

What is wisdom you ask? Wisdom is an amalgamation of experience, unbiased judgment, compassion, self-knowledge or non-attachment, and virtues such as ethics and benevolence.

It is not something any of us can achieve over night because such is life. It teaches us things at every step, in every new phase we enter and experience.

However, do millennials really have the time to take a break from paying rents, partying, worrying about the bills that they have?

We need a moment of mental peace to grab that wisdom. It is our parents who are the first people we receive wisdom from. And eventually, words of wisdom can be found anywhere.?

It could be a friend, a mentor, a coworker or your boss. You just need to have an ear for it. So we asked a few people about the 'peals of wisdom' they received that stuck with them, and there's plenty of reason why you should listen in and take note:

1. 'Never be at war with yourself.? '

My mother's friends once saw me yelling at my mom for no good reason. She came up to me and said? 'peace begins within, never be at war with yourself.'

She understood that there is something troubling me which I refused to say out loud because of whatever reason. I couldn't say a word after that and apologised to my mom.

2. 'If you are your job, then thrive in it.'

It was my mom who said this to me when I just couldn't stop cribbing about the job I was at for three long years. I realised how I hadn't done anything to change my situation. It was then my mom held me said these words.

It simply meant that if you do not have a choice and you refuse to change it, be excellent at what you are doing.

3. 'Beautiful things don't ask for attention.'

I was at a conference once where one of the speakers uttered these words. He, very subtly, made me understand that it is of least importance how the world sees you. But how you see yourself makes all the difference.

4. 'Nothing can go wrong if you communicate.'

A completely random stranger who was sitting right next to me noticed me talking over the phone and figured how I didn't say a few words I wanted to.

I immediately called my boyfriend back and expressed everything I wanted to. These words a great nudge given to me when I least expected.?

5. 'Why can't you keep things simple?'

These words were not just words but a bunch of realisations that I received from my best friend early one fine morning.?

Life will eventually turn out to be the way you want it to. Finding complexities and problems has become easier for us now. Why not, for once, keeps things simple?

6. 'Going against your values will always leave you with regret.'

What you are made of? You values. Period.

You always know what is right what is wrong, and this hit me when I heard two people talking on my floor in office.?

7. 'Koi bhi cheez ki itni aadat mat daalo ki vo choddni pad jaye.'

Be it smoking or alcohol, everything done in moderation that can be accepted by you and your body is how one should live. Why get involved in something that drains everything out of you.

My colleague generally told this to me while I was on a smoke break at work.

8. 'Have only one fear: the fear of losing someone who loves you.'

These were my ex-girlfriend's last words before she left me after I cheated on her. I've always been a fearless person all my life and she knew that. But, when she said those words with tears in her eyes, it was pain that I'll fail to pen down.?

9. 'Always ask yourself if the people you are stressing over are worth it or not.'

My grandmother casually asked me this when I was expressing how my boss and my colleagues are the worst people I've seen in all my life.?
