Matshona DhliwayoIn my youth I had three teachers: friends, enemies, and books. In my adulthood I had three professors: God, nature, and life.
About This Quote
This quote is a classic. At the beginning of life, you are taught by your friends, later your enemies, and then by books. Yet at the end of life, you are taught by God, nature, and life. As you get older, you get wiser.
You realize that all three of these things are important. Friends are important because they show you what not to do. Enemies are important because they show you what to avoid doing.
Nature shows you how to enjoy everything in life no matter if it is good or bad. Life teaches you how to be happy no matter what happens in your life.
