14 Lessons from Naruto that may change your life

1-             Never leave your comrades behind.


Through your life, you’ll meet a lot of challenges and you’ll be required to take serious decisions. It’s very important that you put your comrades into your calculations because at the end of the road they are the only people who are going to take care of you. Comrades in life are your colleagues, your family and your friends.

2-             Those that break the rules are deemed as trash but those that would disregard their comrades so easily are even worse than trash.

This quote was once said by Uchiha Obito and memorized by Hatake Kakashi who was once Naruto’s sensei. It’s very important to play the game while respecting the rules of the game. Then let it one rule above all the rules, don’t disregard your comrades just for the sake of the rules.

3-             Everybody can change.


It’s not as simple as it’s written. Yes, of course, it needs incredible effort yet it’s not impossible. So don’t lose hope on people, don’t lose hope on evil because maybe one day they’ll be changed by you.

4-             Enrich your life with challenges.


A great quote was said in general “A Smooth Sea Never Made a Skillful Sailor” so your skills won’t be enriched except through tough experiences. That’s the way to get tougher, faster, sharper and wiser.

5-             Respect your promises and don't let your words down.


Great men value their words and make them as precise as possible. You can work on just binding yourself with promises that you can keep, but you also need to challenge yourself even in your promises to increase the range of promises that you can keep.

6-             Hatred may be a source of strength, but not as love.


People can be driven by one of those two drivers; hatred, or love. Both are drivers, both can make you achieve to a certain limit. But only one of them will eat you up and day by day will control your thoughts, personality, decisions, actions and all your life.

7-             If your power will hurt yourself or your comrades then it’s forbidden.



Uncontrolled strength is called weakness because firstly it will hurt the ones you care about.

8-             Always have a sensei.


Self-study is just one of many tools used by your teacher. In order to learn something in the most accurate way, as fast as possible and with the least effort you need to get it from someone who has both knowledge and experience that can help you become better.

9-             Always have subordinates.



This is the way to payback what you learnt from your sensei. One day, you’ll become experienced and skilled that you will be a sensei to others. Without subordinates, your dreams, values, knowledge and skills will just die with you and become history.

10-      Intelligence overcomes strength.



Don’t be fooled if your strength was in your muscles only because it’s weak in front of intelligence.

11-      Everyone has a different style of strength.



Even strength itself is colorful that anybody has his/her own strength that can be used to compete between others. Not because you’re not good at math that means you’re a failure, it only means that you’re good at something else and you’ll need to search for it.

12-      A subordinate should one day surpass his sensei.



This was one of Nagato’s puppets that Naruto killed in one punch. Naruto destroyed all Nagato’s puppets which were the same puppets that killed Jiraiya his sensei. If the sensei and the student are working hard enough to enrich the teaching process, then this relationship will end one day by the student surpassing his sensei. And it’s not something the sensei should be ashamed of, but in contrary it’s a source of pride that you succeeded in teaching and raising a new successful leader with your life experience in his mind.

13-      No human is pure of flaws.



Even the sensei himself has his own weaknesses. It was deliberately shown every time that most of the sensei’s were having some sort of weakness, it was variating from Tsunaude’s gambling to Jiraya’s perverseness to Kakashi’s being late. So not because you’ve bad habits that means you can’t be something good. It’s just a part of your nature as a human being.

14-      Memorize your dream.



Memorize your dream; say it out loud every time you feel that life is preventing you from achieving your dream. People are going to watch you achieve it.
