Chapter 1: The School of Life
Each day presents a fresh opportunity to learn, much like a classroom without walls. The wisdom we gain often stems from the tiniest moments—a friendly smile from a passerby, a courteous driver allowing you to merge, or an engaging chat with a stranger while waiting in line. By being mindful of these experiences, we can uncover lessons that enrich our lives.
“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt
