Lessons I have learnt Part 1

These are some of the things I have learnt over the years:

Ø Every action in itself is not bad or good, it is its aftermaths that decide whether it was good or not.

Ø One pays for one’s own deeds.

Ø God believes in keeping balance sheets in perfect order. He rewards you when you make him happy and punishes you when you make him unhappy; and the punishment comes when you expect it the least.

Ø All good things must come to an end. Ditto with all bad things as well, though somehow good things do not last that long, or so it seems to us.

Ø Believe it or not, somehow somewhere you end up taking shit from someone or the other and most of the times that person is not worth taking shit from.

Ø At the end of the day, you are all alone to face the world and you have to do what you have to.

Ø Quest for knowledge is an essential part of life, be it from personal experiences, books, television, films or travel.

Ø Everything is subjective to one’s perspective. Objectivity is a farce, an ideal not worth even trying for.

Ø There are always two facets of a story, if not many. One must choose which one we want to believe and it is these choices in life that make us what we are.

Ø Never expect anything from anyone. Trust me, it hurts when you are let down.

Ø Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.

Ø Accept change as a part of life. It is the only truth worth accepting. Nothing comes closer to it, not even God and not even love.

Ø Everyone is eccentric in his/her way.

Ø And lastly, even if you hate being yourself, don’t force yourself to change if your heart does not allow it. Change yourself, only if it makes you happy. Do not be concerned about what others think of you.

Hopefully, there will be further additions to this list.
