It is difficult to let go of the past, isn't it? However, we still try to move on in life.
In this series, let's see how it feels to be acquainted with a society which has already predetermined your destiny. So, let's get started.
We have heard people go on about how life gets not very satisfying in the long run. Yes, nothing comes free everything has its equal share of responsibilities and contributions we got to give. Now, you tell me, the whole process is confusing to you in the first place, then how will the 'kids' feel comfortable going through it. Meanwhile, these 'kids' are being compared from day one!!! Couldn't be more surprised to see that trend still going on.
Then, "the doors and the windows". Reference to many doors and windows is a cliche in every kid's life. It's true, thankfully unlike our parents or grandparents, we are privileged to have plenty of options to choose from and are also blessed with more amenities, technology and services. What people don't understand is that 'to choose from' is difficult. The child must have a fair share of the decisions.
Haven't you heard that failure is the stepping stone to success? You only learn through failed attempts; no lessons or lectures can give the 'reality'; it's only through different experiences you gain confidence. No 'superhuman' is born in this world without the taste of, what failure is. (Here, superhuman means successful people)
Understand, even the 'average' can eventually overpass the 'brilliant'! Comparison terms like these happened to be strong barriers to young minds. Please don't put them in the notion that they are already labelled for what they will end up to. There is nothing they can't do if they start realising their original potential. Never hurry, give them time. They'll eventually fall in place, just like a butterfly ready for its flight.
The first attempt need not be the 'perfect shot'. You'll be criticized throughout for not giving your best but hey! listen, take them positively and move on. Contemplating is no good. A gentle reminder to those who are planning to criticize, don't overestimate or underestimate things and most importantly your way is not their way, it's different.
No pain, no gain. If you think it's risky but it's worth the shot, go for it. Life choices aren't very comfortable always. You need to set your priorities. But, not at the cost of anybody's expense. Think wisely before any action. Selfishness can create an unkind nature in the long run. Don't lose the gentleness in the long run. (Humility is overpriced)
Communicate things clearly. It's important to talk it all out, don't keep it inside. It's better to have a clear mind than clog them up. A fresh mind tends to look for splendid ideas! Self-care is important too. Don't you worry a lot about what others think? then why not about yourself? Self-esteem building is a necessity, not an option. And, please... do not spread hatred. People tend to judge before they are even acquainted with the other person. Don't you wish people treated you for who you are and not for something you are not?
Gratitude is something that's extensively powerful in this world. Be thankful for everything and anything that you have achieved. Nobody achieves it alone it's always a collective effort. No doubt.
'Guruthuwam', I couldn't find a stronger word than this to show the gravity it holds. It ain't about the amount of shouting, and scolding you got as you grew up it is about the blessing you receive once you finish 'the vidya'.
Don't cheat!!! This is never taking you anywhere. Trust is something that bridges you with the other person, once you fail to it pays the price of a lifetime to gain it.
As a matter of fact, a lot of parents and children are keeping it slow and steady and not going with the 'rat race' trend. Happy to see such a world. I mean, did not its sublimity overpass a little bound of the ridiculous?
