FATHERS TEACHINGS

My father once told me that – YOUTHS GATHER FIREWOOD THAT COOK THEIR FOOD AT OLD AGE! AND THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS TO AVOID BEEN OLD AND MISERABLE.

He often reminded me that-. ANYONE THAT CHALLENGES A LION IN A FIGHT BEARS REMARKABLE WOUNDS

More often than non, he cautioned me saying – NEVER THROW STONE IN THE MARKET BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WEATHER IT WILL HIT YOUR OWN MOTHER AND NEVER BITE THE FINGER THAT FEEDS YOU.

He strongly believed that- THE WALLET OF A THIEF CAN NEVER BE FOUND IN THE BAG OF A PICK-POCKET

He lived long enough to know that- THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS HIDDEN UNDER THE SUN, IF THE WIND FAILS TO EXPOSE IT, THE RAIN WILL AND WHEN THE RAIN DOESN'T THE EARTH WILL THROW IT FORTH.

Out of life's experience he had realized  that- A PERSON WHO HAS MET DARKNESS WOULD NEVER HURT THE MOON AND AGAIN THAT ONE HONOURS AN INVITATION SENT BY HUNGER BEFORE THAT OF A KING.

HE always urged me to believe in my dreams and abilities to accomplish them despite of the huddles because he knew that – A JOURNEY OF 1000 KILOMETER BEGINS WITH A STEP.

He encouraged me to be prudent because he long realized that – NOT WHAT WE EARN BUT THAT WHICH WE HAVE SAVED MAKES US RICH AND TO ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF A COIN BECAUSE WITHOUT ONE COIN, THERE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER

He warned me never to believe anything without evidence because experience had taught him that- RUMOURS ARE CARRIED BY ENEMIES, SPREAD BY IGNORANTS AND ACCEPTED BY FOOLS ALSO THAT ENEMIES OFTEN OPEN HOLES IN ONES REPUTATION AND STAND ASIDE FOR PUBLIC OPINION TO HANG THEM.

He urged me to always access every situation objectively before making any commitment to avoid wrong choices because he believed that- WHEN WE ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE, OUR RIGHT PLACE IS EMPTY AND WILL BE OCCUPIED BY SOMEONE ELSE IF WE FAIL TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE ON TIME .

Finally, reality Had showed him that- NO MATTER HOW FAR A THROW IS , THE HAND MUST RETURN TO THE OWNER AND THAT WE ARE ALL GUESTS IN THIS WORLD AND WILL GO BACK TO OUR CREATOR WHEN OUR TIME IS UP.
