"My best learning from kids - They do only stuff which has joy & fun element. Even the work," shared a third user. 

"That is so true! Having a child around you teaches you how life is meant to be lived and as adults we just come up with ways to mess it up more and more," wrote a fourth. 

"You missed the most important!! We learn from children that we should give 100% effort to achieve our goals, just like they do when they want a toy," commented one X user. 

Ms Alagh is an avid social media user. Earlier, she shared five qualities that separate top one per cent individuals from the rest. "5 habits that separate the top 1% of people from the rest. 1. They're consistent with their habits and promises. 2. They keep quality people around. 3. They do more and speak less. 4. They read and invest in gaining more knowledge. 5. They plan their days, weeks, and months ahead of time," she wrote.
