From childhood to now, I've studied hundreds of subjects, including Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Chemistry, Physics, and so on; during my schooling, I studied 35 subjects during my Computer Science Engineering, 48 subjects in my MBA Program, and hundreds of courses and certification programs during my corporate journey, which is still ongoing. I concluded that my favorite subject, which has given me so much in my life and continues, I had to narrow it down to one, which is the title of the article, so it is my responsibility to discuss that subject as well. Here, I do not deny the importance of all other subjects, but I am talking about the most favorite.
But before I reveal the name of that subject and why it was my favorite, I'd like to say that the lessons I learned from it are still relevant and will be for many years. The knowledge I gained from that subject has greatly aided me in becoming the person I am today.
?Without further ado, I'd like to reveal the SUBJECT's name, "MORAL SCIENCE." I was fortunate that this was one of the subjects that were part of my curriculum from first to third grade. I not only studied this subject theoretically in school but also had the opportunity to practice it in my daily life through various stories and act plays which helped me to understand its true meaning.
What I learned in those three years of studying this subject has greatly aided me in many areas, including professional and personal development and positively influencing others. In this article, I'd like to highlight the top five learnings that may be useful for understanding and applying to you as well.
1. First, Deserve, then Desire - Most of my success, both small and large, has come from this early lesson in Moral Science. Many people fail in their ambitions and aspirations because they do the opposite: they desire and want to achieve it without deserving it first.
2. Honesty is the best policy - You may have heard about this many times from books, elders, and others. Still, I would like to clarify one thing: honesty is not cheap, which is why many people cannot afford it, and those who understand it and live their lives accordingly always benefit in the long run, if not in the short term.

?3. Help others in need if you can - These are important lessons I learned during those days, and I always put them into practice in my life. Helping others has become a habit for me over the years, giving me inner satisfaction and pride at the end of the day.
?4. Admit your mistakes if you are at fault- It is not always easy to admit our fault when we believe we have done something wrong, made an error, or caused harm to someone, but believe me when I say that realizing your fault/mistakes will make you superior in the eyes of others and give you enough courage, pride, and satisfaction.
?5. Express Your Appreciation When Someone Assists/Helps You - Being thankful and expressing gratitude are two essential qualities to possess. Unfortunately, I've noticed that this is lacking in most people these days, and instead, people forget and sometimes cheat the same person who helped them. (Surprising?)
?I wanted to share some of my favorite lessons about "MORAL SCIENCE." Still, I believe five are sufficient for the time being, and I think these are lessons that people have known for ages and have heard from their parents, relatives, schools, and well-wishers, as there is nothing particularly new. Still, the critical point is this: Are we implementing it correctly?
?I'd love to hear about your favorite subjects, any great learnings associated with them, and how they're assisting you in some ways.
