Attention

In school teachers consistently demanded that we pay attention to the lesson or information been taught. It was a request that automatically waranted a punishment if you were non-compliant. Whether such lesson or information would offer advantages for a better life such attention was still demanded. As time passed and the transition from the school system into the world of adolescense and responsibilities took place. Our attention is now a request from life. However life doesnt make a demand to pay attention. One has to bring themselves to pay attention to lifes lessons or inenvitably face the consequences of negligence. Such consequences are not used by life as an imminent threat to anyone. But such consequences will be as a result of continued unpaid dues to lifes lessons.

As we grow older we must put in to practice that which our parents tried to instill in us for 18 or more years. They are lifelong lessons which will prove effective and beneficial if we applied our knowledge of them. Yet our response is to rebel for now that we have reached the chronological age of an adult we interpret our parents actions as confining and somewhat foolish. We think we were imprisoned having to follow rules, curfew, regulated relationships and the mandate of church attendance which included sunday school and all youth related activities.

Lifes classrooms are vastly more larger and your classmates are of varied ethnicities. Its lessons are old as nature and so are the teachers. We are all enrolled in thee institution of life until death. We cant get out of it alive. We can prematurely leave or be lazy and drag ourselves through the cirruculum. Either way life moves us through the different courses whether we choose to or not. It is best to pay attention and make the best of every lesson.
