2009 has passed. But this year
has given me many things and taught me some of the toughest lessons of my life.
Following are the 12 most important things I learnt in my previous year:
1) Nothing lasts forever. Say it
happiness, grief, anxiety or excitement. Everything, every feeling, every
sentiment and every thought will change sometime. So better enjoy the moment
you are happy.
2) Some wounds never heal.
Similarly there are few people in your life who come and go leaving their
footprints in your mind, heart and soul, and you are never ever the same.
3) There are some moments in
your life when you are busy and start neglecting your friends, your relatives
and yourselves. This can be the best time of your life for a moment, but later
everyone regrets these moments. So better live in a controlled way, balancing
your relations with your work.
4) There are times when you need
to make decisions based on priorities. At those times use your brain rather
than heart because you may miss some opportunities that are meant to come only
once in a lifetime. So never take decisions emotionally.
5) There are few people who are
meant to be part of your life, no matter how strong you try to push them away.
Some relations are completely controlled by destiny, and you don’t have your
say in these matter. So accept such people without giving much thought to
it.
6) If people misunderstand you,
it’s their problem, not yours. You can try to make them believe in you, you can
beg, plead, struggle to explain them but you will never succeed. So better give
up already.
7) There is never the last time.
NEVER. Mr. Late is always far better than Mr. Never.
8) Chocolate is always the
solution for every problem. So eat lot of chocolates.
9) Being innocent never works.
You can have a girl who loves your innocent character but life will suck you to
the core. So you better be cunning, as well.
10) When it comes to my parents,
I will sell my soul and principles, if I have to.
11) To stay in a sound happy
relationship, not being loved is the least of your worries. For maintaining a
healthy working relationship, there are lot of other things like acceptability,
character, mutual understanding, nature and compatibility. Then only a relation
can work.
Corollary:I am a big flirt. I can't be loyal to
any single girl.
12) Proroguing any event is the
worst thing that can happen to your work.
PS: Though I have no resolutions
for New Year this time, I will try not to repeat the mistakes I committed in
2009, and learn something from the lessons of 2009.
PS: Some things are better
plain, simple and straight, like this post. Writing every post in italics
wasn't a good idea.
PS: Year 2010 can be fun.
