Dear son

Dear son ,

I am writing this to you because of 3 reasons

1. Life, fortune and mishaps are unpredictable, nobody knows how long he lives. Some words are better said early.

2. I am your father, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will.

3. What is written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches. Remember the following as you go through life

1. Do not bear grudge 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 a real friend.

2. No one is indispensable, nothing is 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/who you love the 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, whether rich or poor.

7. You honour 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 could never strike 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.

                 Your Dad

Strong determination

A long time ago in a pond many frogs lived  . The King of that city built a metal pillar at the centre of Lake. The pillar was quite high and its surface was also very smooth.One day all frogs decided to compete with each other in a race. In that race all had to climb the pillar and the winner would be declared on the basis that whosoever reach the top of the pillar will be the first. On the race day all frogs gathered. All were excited to win. The race began. But when the frogs saw the pillar closely, they found that it was impossible for them to climb. Various kinds of remarks and rumours were floating in the air.
"Oh this is too hard"

"no one could  even complete the race  "

"The pole is too slipry to climb"

Two or three frogs did try their luck. But the discouraging remarks of others made them to abandon their attempt to climb the pole. But there was one frog who was still continuing his race despite many falls and finally he reached the top of the pole. All rest of his mates were amazed, They were too curious to know his secret of success.Then came a voice from behind ... "Hey, what do you ask him, he's deaf".
Generally, we all have capability to achieve the goal, but due to presence of negative energies around us, we underestimate and live the entire life without fulfilling our dreams.It is important that we should become deaf towards all those voices which makes us weak so that  no one could stop us from reaching the pinnacle of success.
