Hedley Lewis: Lessons from Life’s Journey
Hedley Lewis, CEO of CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“After formal education ends, the real journey begins — Welcome to the University of Life. This is where lessons don’t come from textbooks but from experience. Where growth is earned, not graded.
Resilience
I’ve learned that setbacks aren’t failures — they’re shaping tools. They carve out who we are, lesson by lesson, challenge by challenge.
Emotional Intelligence
Regulating emotions, staying focused, and learning to respond instead of react — these are skills I continue to refine. It’s not about ignoring feelings, but understanding and managing them.
Flexibility and Fluidity
No day is quite like the one before. Life keeps us on our toes, pushing us to adapt. That’s where growth lives — in the unexpected.
Perspective
Not everything deserves your energy. Often, what feels overwhelming in the moment is, on reflection, just a small ripple in the larger tide of life.
Street Smarts
Intuition counts. While data and knowledge guide us, it’s often that quiet inner voice — shaped by experience — that knows the way.
Humility
No matter how far we go, life finds a way to bring us back to earth. Staying grounded isn’t a weakness — it’s wisdom.
Gratitude
This one’s my anchor. The most powerful growth often comes dressed as hardship. Gratitude helps me see the purpose in it all.”
