SELFLESSNE­SS

I’ve learnt how the world feels more connected and more meaningful. So many people are imparting knowledge selflessly so everyone benefits. Selflessne­ss is on the rise. Hope we continue this trait forever.

HEALTH FIRST

I have learned how important our health is, as well as that of our loved ones.

INSIGNIFIC­ANCE

One thing I learnt was how insignific­ant we humans are in the grand scheme of things. I hope we all learn to be better versions of ourselves.
