Father to Son

LETTER WRITTEN BY A FATHER TO HIS SON!

Following is aletter to his son from a renowned Hong Kong TV broadcaster cum ChildPsychologist. The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old,children or parents. This applies to daughters too.

Dear Son,
I am writing this to you because of 3reasons
a.     Life, fortuneand mishaps are unpredictable; nobody knows how long he lives. Some words arebetter said early
b.     I am yourfather, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will
c.      What is writtenis my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessaryheartaches

Remember the following as you go through life-

1.     Do not be argrudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I. To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because,everyone has a motive for every move. When a            person is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be careful; don't hastily regard him as areal friend.
2.     No one is indispensable, nothing in the world that you must possess. Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose what/whom you love most.
3.     Life is short.When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life.
4.     Love is but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and with one's mood.If your so called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love.
5.     A lot of successful people did not receive a good education that does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life. One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags!
6.     I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither would I financially support your whole life. My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up. After that, you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, weather rich or poor.
7.     You honor your words, but don't expect others to be so. You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles.
8.     I have bought lotteries for umpteen years, but I never struck any prize. That shows if you want to be rich, you have to work hard! There is no free lunch!
9.     No matter how much time I have with you, let's treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life.

Madam it is alright

My Archive - 07 - 07 - 2018 My recent visit to Kanpur, was huge eye opener to me. I have been living away from home town for a very long time. This was a privileged visit with Taxi door to door. I found changes and I found same things as well. And honestly ate just way too much good food, specially sweets & Chat.. Yumm...(Flavours still crackling in my mouth) ;) I met quite a few locals, from different walk in life. The most interesting part of with a cab driver. He was dropping me to Airport early in morning. In those 2 hours I had huge realization. the most shocking was belief of a man who is representing not only an income group but also an educated community. So the conversation was about perception of govt. According to a well read person, who is graduate, driving a good car making at least 15,000/- for his profits alone. Having ideas of what are next development in the city and so forth, was very impressive to me. So I initiated the conversation on his view on curr

Gender Equality in our society? A fad or reality - WOMAN

My Archive- 31/05/2015 In our society in general woman has to prove her self every single step of her life. As a daughter more responsible than son. As a wife more hard working than the men. As a parent more responsible than father. Isn't it funny and weird that Men takes a shot always, overpower woman most of the time???  I support woman who scarifies so much to have a career where also Men superpower. I don't think a single working or non working woman would have not felt the same. Being lost undervalued and suffocated. Time and again proving your self to be equal? Why mom is suppose to cook and dad is suppose to chill????? WHY not work of house is split equally?? Why is it that bread earner is superior than home maker????  I don't need special favours of quotas but I do want for right of speech and giving equal value to woman's thought and decisions.  #Mychoice  #Myvoice #equality #genderequality #malechauvinism #expectionsarealwaysthere  #ourhome #
