What Abroad Teaches!

Most of us think that studying abroad will be a change for us. Sometimes we wonder after all What abroad teaches ? We will get to meet new people, learn about new culture and do this and then that. Although everybody has plans and too an extent this is exactly what happens when you study abroad. But there is more to it.

The most important thing is that you start respecting people. It is when you get out of your comfort zone you realize what wonders people around the world are doing. Some are inventing new things, others are writing great, some are fantastic artist and some so nice human beings. The experience teaches you that no matter how much you have achieved, there is always going to be someone who has done something more, or may be something in a better way. It makes you more humble.

Your horizons are broadened. This is one of those things that studying in abroad actually helps you in. you start looking at things from different points of view and hence help you to making better decisions. Rather being judgmental you become more of patient with people. You start understanding people.

More importantly you understand that life is meant to be lived. You are not here to compete with anybody but rather make your own space. And this you don’t do by competing. Just like flowers, they never compete with the other flower, they just blossom.

Well there could be many for an individual but some of the most general tips to ensure safety are-:

  1. Learn the emergency contact numbers of the country you will be living. You could even save it on your phone. But it is better you learn them.
  2. Health is important. Make sure before you leave for the country, visit a travel clinic, 2-3 months before you leave.
  3. There are things you are never certain of. Have a emergency evacuation insurance done. So that if there is a war or a calamity in the country and you need to evacuate, you are saved from the financial losses.

Danger is everywhere. you can never be sure of your safety. But make sure to make attempts, such that if the danger arrives you are prepared to deal with it.
