Hello Hivers! I am here again with another episode in this contest. This is all about what you have learnt from different posts this week and I am here to tell you 5 posts I read and I learnt something from them again. Check this post out if you want to participate
LEARNANDEARN
Since the last contest, I have been looking for posts and to say the truth, this has made me keep engaging myself on posts and learning from them.
Learning is a continuous thing and we keep learning every moment of the day. We can't be an island of knowledge. So far, we have got to read people's stories, experiences etc so as to learn from them. Also, we pick one or two things from them and put into practice in our lives.
Now, follow me as I bring out the 5 posts I have read and learn from them.
1 A RANT ON PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH CONDITIONING by @Josediccus

So many people have lived their lives trying to depend on others and at the end, they are disappointed. We tend to discuss our pains and troubles to our next neighbor but do we know what they are thinking about you? Because they feel you have depended on them so much, they would take you for granted and make you see life as unfair.
I have learnt not to disclose anything about me to some people who I know are not willing to help but trying to mock or disappoint me.
This doesn't mean you will then stay calm and keep everything to yourself, there are few people out there who still have human feelings and are ready to help you instead of sharing your problems to backbiters who will fail you in the end.
Know who you talk to. Not everyone would act nice to you.

In this post, I learnt three most important things we need to look out for in our ideal partner which are;
- Honesty
- Good communication
- Commitment
These are very crucial to look for in a man or woman who you are intending to get married to or have a relationship with. Though no one is perfect, but these three would make a lasting relationship.
3 ONLY IF THEY WOULD LISTEN by @golden06

Let me make this clear, Parents should not compare their kids to other children, it is very bad and can discourage a child especially in education aspect. I remembered when my Dad was always comparing my little sister to other children, I immediately told him it is very bad to compare children and ever since then, he stopped.
Then, in the aspect of choosing course of study as a parent is good because you are guiding such child but it is totally wrong when you are forcing them to do what is against their dream. Some Parents are so demanding that they forcefully choose a course for their wards and not minding what they are good at. This only saddens the child and this is why you see most children not excelling in such area because they aren't passionate about the study they were given.
Parents ought to guide and not instill in the area of education. I learnt something in this post which I believe as a parent in the future, I would be careful not to allow my selfish interest damage my children's career.

We all think living in luxury means a meaningful life. We think it is only when we are wealthy or have enough properties, we consider ourselves living a meaningful life. But no! When I read this post, it inspires me and I couldn't doubt such truth. Tips to live a meaningful life according to her are;
- Think beyond self
- Be passionate about whatever you do
- Confronting the opposite truths
- Living with values and ethics
I will also add this too which is very important - Living a life to glorify God.

Having to live with someone who can't control himself or herself is something difficult and can destroy relationship if care isn't taken. Many of us, I am not excluded, when we are passing through any challenges, we tend to be peevish and act weird to people around us.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to cope and control yourself with your emotions and to relate with others in a kind manner. When we can deal with our emotions and understand how we feel and how to cope with our situations, then it means we are emotionally intelligent.
I have come to the end of this week's learn and earn. I hope you learn something from this post? Kindly visit them and leave your comments too. Thanks for reading.
