There are many life lessons in Naruto...

The lessons given in Naruto aren't shared to everyone in the world. The show should be shared as a topic, since it is enjoying as well as educational. I'm not talking math educational, but thorough and meaningful lessons. In this document I will show different lessons, and important life lessons that taught people all around the world, in Naruto.

Never, ever give up!

Somebody told me I'm a failure. I'll prove them wrong. BELIEVE IT!!! - Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto, as said before, was born with the fox “Kurama” in him, with no consent. He had to grow up with people neglecting and judging him, acting like he was the beast Kurama itself..
He had no home to return to, as his parents died as soon as he was born. Even through all of this Naruto kept his self motivated to become hokage, (highest and strongest ninja in Konoha village).
After hard work, and believing in himself he accomplished his goal, proving everyone who thought it was impossible wrong.
There is no doubt that you will encounter obstacles in your life that will challenge you. You have to make the decision to face them head on and work hard to overcome them or let them consume you and take you down.
Success is only earned through hard work, and never losing focus on what really matters. Failure is a part of life, you can't win all the time, but what you can do is learn from your mistakes and keep trying.
Sometimes you can be closer to success than you really think, and pain and struggle will all be temporary, but if you quit at something it'll last forever.

Friendship Is More Important Than We Think

"Those in the ninja world who break the rules are scum, that's true...but those who abandon their friends...are lower than scum." — Sensei Kakashi Hatake

The friends you make and the people you meet in your life will always create a huge impact on your character. Friendships may come and go, but the memories will always remain. It's the certain connections with these people that teach you a lot about yourself. Friends have a weird way of healing that hole in your heart forged by loneliness.

We are all strong and unique people with more potential than we think

"If you don't like your destiny, don't accept it. Instead, have the courage to change it the way you want it to be." — Naruto Uzumaki

At the end of the day, the only person you can count on is yourself.
Your hard work, determination, willpower, attitude, etc. are all based on what you do with the 24 hours of each day. If you truly believe in yourself then your dreams can become a reality, no matter how big or small (as long as they're plausible and respect the laws of physics).
You can control your own fate by the choices you make today. You don't need to fit the model that society or other people want you to fit, you can break out if you want to, it may be hard for some, but when there's a will there is a way.

Iruka Sensei taught me not to judge people by their appearances.

I hate the fox, but the boy - I don't hate the boy. -Iruka Sensei

Naruto (the boy) had a powerful and evil monster, “Kurama” (The fox) stored in him at birth.
This was done so that the fox Kurama could not cast anymore damage onto their village.
Kurama had killed many of the civilians in the village, including Iruka Sensei’s parents.
Everyone looked at Naruto as a monster for this, but Iruka Sensei chose not to judge Naruto for what he couldn't control. He got to know Naruto better, instead of turning his back on Naruto, like the rest of the village.
If it weren't for Iruka Sensei, Naruto would have most likely gone emo and unleashed the beast stored within him. This is how Iruka Sensei taught me not to judge people by their appearances.

Haku taught me that there is no good or evil when you're protecting the ones you love.

Zabuza wanted to overthrow the government of the Land of Water, but he needed more firepower first. Soon he just happened to come across Haku, an orphan with a bloodline trait.
Zabuza promised to take care of the boy and train him if he vowed to serve his every command.
Haku was overjoyed at having someone who didn’t just not fear him, but actually wanted his unique power, so he agreed in an instant.
Haku did everything, even sacrifice his moral code of non-violence, just for Zabuza.
Meanwhile, even though he didn’t realize it, Zabuza grew to love him as a son, even facing certain death to avenge him and make amends for using him as a tool.
Haku did everything for Zabuza not caring what it was as long as he was protecting his loved one. It got to the point where he even died for him...

Obito taught me that even though others may consider you foolish for trying to fulfill your dreams, it’s always worth fighting till the end

Obito was constantly put down on his aspirations and dreams, but he pushed through all the hate and did what he believed was right. Eventually he accomplished his goals.

Neji taught me that if you leave your pride or ego behind you can change your destiny

Neji father (Hizashi) had a twin brother, technically Neji's uncle. Neji and his father was placed in the lower branch while the other twin and his daughter was placed in the main branch.
Neji and his father was branded with a seal mark which bounded them to the family, technically making them slaves.
On top of this, Hinata (Neji's cousin) was kidnapped from the village. To save Hinata, Hizashi (Nejis dad) destroyed the lighting village.
The leader wanted a death in return and Hizashi decided to give up his life. He did this due to the love and feeling of protection for his twin brother.
After the death of his father, Neji ( the son of Hizashi ) had strong hatred toward the main family. This hatred was destroying his life.
During a battle between him and Hinata, Neji gets shocked by her persistence and questioned her as why she kept fighting, even knowing that destiny can never be changed due to the mark which was branded on him.
He was able to discover the truth of the his father's letter and decisions once he put his pride behind him and realized that he chooses his own destiny.
He choose to support his clan and Hinata just like his father did, but do it his own way.

Nagato taught me that if you don't share someone's pain, you cannot understand their pain.

"Do you understand pain a little now? If you don't share someone's pain, you can never understand them. But just because you understand them doesn't mean you can come to an agreement. That's the truth"- Nagato Uzumaki

This quote tells me that you never really understand what is going on in a person's head or what their going through. Even if you come to understand them doesn't mean that you can just come to an agreement with that individual.

Conclusion...

“Naruto” taught me lessons that school wouldn't bother discussing. Naruto made me a better person and I believe that it should serve as a topic, in order for the valuable lessons to be shared throughout our school. A common stereotype that people hold is that anime is a bunch of nonsense that kids watch. This is not true at all, as animes such as Naruto teach very meaningful lessons. It is because of these lessons that over 3 billion people watch anime. This is the evidence behind why Naruto is efficient and has effective many peoples everyday life.
