Lead by example

The day after the presentation. It was wonderful and sad all in one go. While the presentations went well, we went out for drinks after, and we all got along splendidly it's sad to think that we connected like this on the last possible day.

But nonetheless it was all worth it. As a summation of the past four years, two years in my major, I learned a lot of lessons that are not only valuable to me as a student, but also as a person. One of the major lessons I have learned has to do with acceptance. While we all think we are tolerant and accepting, are we really? Do we really forgive and pass no judgment on others? Do we really live in a world where we feel nothing matters but we think? I think, and learned, over time that there is no escaping the judgment of others and the only real step to take is to learn and teach others about the power of acceptance. 

With just some simple thoughts shared by those aware of the need or lack of acceptance and tolerance we can at least strive to provide for others the world that we all want to have. If you can't live your life without judgment then why do you expect others to do the same. Like a lesson learned as a child and as a student, and now as an adult: Live by example.
