From childhood reading of the holy book, the words and stories of the apostles, I read the teaching of God 

and i just asked wisdom. We are the reflection of those we wanted to sow , we are what we want to be.

Sure we learn from our experiences from past mistakes.

Depends on the character of each man, the type, the capacity of. We are born with a certain personality, some learn to meditate, to be more tolerant, to empathize, others are born with these gifts from God. 

To give a real life example: Are people who have wrong by stealing, even if they were arrested for this,  then have returned all the stolen. Do you think they learned anything?

Great question...I've learned a lot of valuable things from my younger age. At my younger age I've learned to value education because it's the only thing that I could achieve facing the fact that I am just a poor guy born in this world without money and wealth. So, I promise to myself that I will finish my studies whatever happened. Education, sacrife & perseverance brought me where I am today.

Oh what a nice question!

From my young self I really need to learn to stop taking every little things by heart, be less serious, sleep like a lion, move around merrily and live with excitement, love and positivity.

Wonderful question, indeed! My younger self would have remided me of doing the following:

 

  1. Do not try to control life, you are too young to, live it while dreaming it.
  2. Ask tough questions to wise people, listen carefully to the answers of "less wise" people!
  3. Kick a ball (as in football, not in...)
  4. Break a leg (not literally off course, but more like... go for it and don't think a lot)
  5. Love every person who comes to your path and treat him/her as a friend.

Very good question Badar,

There is no limit for learning and there is no shortage of stuffs to learn, learning is the process which should be kept on going all long the way.

The best thing what I keep learning is to learn the past of myself because it makes me aware of the mistakes done by me and hence prevent me from financial losses, mental stress and my professionalism.

1- Laughing even at tough times

2- Persistence  and insistence to figure things out and do what you seemingly can't do 

3- Honesty and always saying the truth even if it will hurt you

4- Enthusiasm and moving forward with whatever you want to do

5- Eagerness to learn and asking a lot of questions

6- Always having my mother and father as role models and looking up to be like them

7- Not being afraid of getting my hands dirty

8- Having a forgiving nature so one minute you are fighting with your friend and the next you are the best of friends and playing together

9- Moving a lot to keep fit and healthy. Children never sit stil, they are always jumping, running, ....doing something, we all need to exercise  to keep healthy

There are two aspects to this question : First what should one learn when they are young : Knowledge is key to success and information is raw material for knowledge. As a young child I learned how to convert information to knowledge and use it as and when required. During that age you are curious, enthusiastic and receptive to gain whatever comes to you.

Now the second aspect is what we can learn from our younger ones : They have a lot to teach us. In this technology age where things are moving so fast that it becomes difficult to keep pace and track of every change happening around us we can learn many new tricks from our younger ones . Young generation is more smart and have better expouser to many a things that we were not having during our days, so we have plent of scope to learn these things from our younger ones.
