37 Things Worth Experiencing At Least Once In Your Life

This isn't true. Sadly a lot of people who were (or even currently ARE) service workers treat workers horrifically. It's not about the experience it's about the person. A nasty selfish person will thrill in having "their chance" to be the master berating the servants. A empathic person will treat service workers like they want to be treated.

This should be a requirement for college entry. To get into universities or community college, you can do customer service. Customer service is community service. 6 months in a restaurant or 6 months in retail. And yes, you have to survive off what they pay you. That way, you understand how it feels when you hustle your a*s off and get nothing for it.

I enjoy the company of others in small doses. I cherish every moment I have with my wife but I have no problem with being by myself. I find alone time to be very therapeutic.

Yeah, I did that in college when my roommate moved out. I discovered that I need another person around as motivation to hold myself accountable for putting things away. Being able to pace around muttering like a crazy person all night was nice when I had to memorize a speech from Hamlet for class, though.

It feels so good.

.... or the love of a cat - or any pet !

Rescuing a pet is a rewarding thing for you and your pet!

Lol. I moved about 12 times and lived in 8 different towns. Am currently in West Africa. Yes, it's really good for you. Makes you resilient and broadens the mind.

I think traveling and spending time elsewhere is important. But I also feel that we have separated too much as families and society and it hurts us overall

I have been saying this forever. All those college graduates with no actual retail experience making decisions for the employees should be a no-go. To understand your company you need to have the employees experience of it.

I worked for a printing company that had any new managers, administration, client services/sales spend the first couple of weeks of orientation working every position in the production line. That gave them a better understanding of the process, work environment and got along better with the workers. The company at the time was employee owned, so they had a strong motivation to make sure the new people knew what they were doing and they were a good fit for the company. And then, they became a corporation and stopped doing that. They don't exist anymore.

I don't even know why, people don't count that there are many CEO who started from the bottom position and reached there, and many at the bottom position today will be the future CEO's, sitting in the lowest position is not always the answer.

During a power cut in Naini Tal, 5000' up in the Himalayas. The day I forget that, you can bury me

Haven't yet, because of so much light pollution where I live.Would love to !

I so want to do this. I want to go somewhere where there is no civilization per se and just look at the sky. My ideal location would be Montana or Idaho.

I can imagine not ever having seen it.

Saw killer N lights last week. They were glorious.

I had the chance to see it and I missed it.

Oh, definitely not, because I'll tarnish my name and get fired for fighting some àsshole customer. I respect customer service people a lot, because I'd never have this much patience with such people

I agree. Traveling is amazing and you learn so much about other cultures and the people

I lived abroad and am glad that I journaled (something I didn’t do at home) all the details of my day, each night. Now I can read it all, these years later! I would have never been able to remember it all, if I hadn’t done that. It’s worth it!

I am crazy a**l about telling my (now adult) children that I am proud of them, regardless of how they feel.

Meanwhie every European knowing 3 languages before age of 10.

"If you speak several languages, you're multilingual. If you speak two languages, you're bilingual. If you speak one language, you're American." (Old US language teacher's joke.)

It's difficult to learn another language when I'm literally surrounded by other English speakers. I can literally drive for a week and still be in my own country, surrounded by other people who also speak English. I think the only way I could learn another language is total immersion, but unless I move to a non-English speaking country (which just isn't an option), I'm probably not going to have much luck. And some languages aren't even used anymore, like Latin. My consolation prize is to try to learn my own language as best I can.

Yes, you learn a lot when you're poor.

Done!!

We will soon have the experience worldwide

I live in England swimming in freezing cold water is an experience as well.

Parents need to be reminded of this. Some spend their child's whole life shielding them from failure, fixing everything for them, then wonder why they have no resilience.

Check.

That's what hugs, kisses, and sympathy are for. No excuses though, they're going through enough.

I think I could give lectures on that. Have the training 🤣

Reminder that love doesn't need to be romantic. Show all ur loved ones that u love em <3

Been there, done that. Not doing it again unless dueling pistols are involved.

This I have. Peace that surpasses all understanding. 🙏

Where can I get it?
