During our lifetime, some unwanted events occur that make us blame ourselves. But these events leave some important lessons for us.

The incident

The event occurred during the pandemic COVID-19. Our final exam was almost over. But few exams were not finished yet and the result was hanging because of those unfinished exams. 

After about 9 months under the pandemic, the students of our department agreed to come to Dhaka to finish those exams. I didn't oppose the decision at first too much. 

Then one day I talked with my aunty from Belgium and my opposition started to strengthen. I had almost forgotten the pandemic. But eventually, I started googling about the pandemic and found some horrible news:

1.The situation in Europe is still not good.

2. Scientists are suspecting another wave of that pandemic which has been named as 'the winter wave.' The wave has already started to hit.

3. The situation in India, our neighboring country, is the worst in the whole world right now and it's worsening day by day.

4. Youths are getting affected more and more. I had two neighbors in our locality who were corona patients; they were also young (both around 30 years old).

I opposed the decision but got poor support. I was criticized harshly. 

Some emotional responses made me weak. One of our classmates commented: "Although my father died of the corona, I am ready for the exam." 

Another person commented: "Bros! I'm totally ready for the exam and I don't fear death. My marriage is halted because of my result, Please bros! I want to finish the exam."

The 3 lessons I've learned

1. Don't go for personal benefits only. Always express your opinion based on communal benefits.

2. Explain before you express your opinion. Don't just throw your opinion into a public place and become a controversial person.

3. Try to make a supporter group before you express your opinion. This will help your opinion to win over other opinions.


There is a saying: "You learn every day." I've learned a lot from that event. Now, tell me about one of your embarrassing events and what you've learned from that.

By
  Image source: The Financial Express The whole world is under threat of the coronavirus. The virus has reached the best of nations, to the most advanced of all the advanceds. But have we thought of any positive effect of this pandemic? Probably most will answer no. I will talk about one particular positive effect of the pandemic. The virus has spread a disease, the disease has caused a lockdown, and the lockdown has given us a long time with our family, at our home. In my country, Bangladesh, the people live outside their hometown fall into either of these groups: Students studying in colleges or universities, Workers of industries and garments, Employees of public and private organizations, Other people working outside their homes Among all these people, the people of groups 1,2 & 4 are most likely enjoying their time at home. The reason behind this is that they usually stay out of their home for their jobs or education, often leaving all their family members at home. In...
