What I have learnt so Far

1. Time never turns back.
2. I am what I am, I cannot pretend to be someone I am not.
3. I believe what I believe. I am ready to change if what I believe is wrong. If what I believe is wrong, prove it.
4. In real life, there are just two shades - black and white. There is nothing in between, however much we try and paint things differently.
5. When I am happy, I am not overwhelmed. When I am sad I am not overwhelmed.
6. What could have been done differently should have been done differently in the first place. You cannot undo what's done, and there's no point languishing over it. Better do what you will in a way it should be done and re-build.
7. Speaking with friends really helps.
8. Respect people who are older and wiser than you.
9. Be very honest.
10. Hiding behind books and blogs is a respite, suited only for early mornings and nights on weekdays. Better go to the theatre to watch a nice movie and have dinner at a good restaurant over the weekends.
11. Driving with sane music is good for the nerves. Don't overdo it, you wouldn't want to contribute to global warming.
12. In the evenings, driving with the car AC turned off and windows rolled down is "very" good for the nerves.
13. Going to a friend's place when you anticipate a nightmare is better than watching "Chicken Little" over and over again.
14. Most Disney movies are good and can be watched more than 4 times.
15. When everything is a mess, just chuck it out of the window and go out for a stroll.
16. When you don't want to do something just be brave and admit you don't want to do it.
17. When you can't do something, be humble and brave and admit you can't do it.
18. When you can do something and yet don't do it, you are wasting your as well as others' time. Just admit you are lazy and let someone more capable get the work done.
19. When you listen to someone, don't listen just for the heck of it. Empathise.
20. Be reasonable. The second person is also a human and trying real hard.
21. If you can neither empathise, nor be reasonable, don't expect the same next time you stand the test.
22. Respect people for what they have achieved. They worked hard for it.
23. When you don't want to cook keep instant noodle handy. They fill you up pretty well.
24. When you have finished your stock of noodles, buy a bigger stock. They don't hurt you.
25. Different people are different, there's no reason they should be expected to behave in a manner similar to yours.
26. You should be tolerant and patient towards those who behave differently than you do.
27. What is unethical is nothing but unethical. You must not put up with it.
28. When you sit over your electricity bill until the due date, you cannot pray for their office to be open on a Sunday. You will have to wait till Monday to pay it.
29. Don't let someone else's indifference hurt you. You can do better than that for yourself. Even if you are hurt don't show it, they will hurt you more.
30. Don't waste tears over people who don't realise their worth. Never attempt it to their face. Do it when alone. It cleanses your eyes.
31. Try not to cry when you have a cold. If you do, keep tissues handy.
32. If there are three roads and two sets of people expect you to move with them, their way, just dig your heels down and turn the third way. You will reach where you want to go, without getting lost, even if you walk alone.
33. When you want to eat a muffin or a chocolate insist on having it. Don't always expect people you went to have coffee with, to appreciate your idea and wait for their approval.
34. What has to happen will happen, don't tear out whatever little hair is left on your scalp in frustration.
35. When you wake up suddenly at night, turn on the lights and write something, or watch Tom and Jerry.
36. Don't change until you are convinced you are changing for the better. When you are convinced, don't be lazy.
37. When you know you are right and just, don't care for what people say. When you are wrong and unjust, just move back to the right track.
38. Don't ever hold a grudge. Forget. It makes you happy.
39. Education is very important and adds to your self worth.
40. Money is not everything in life, actually it is nothing. It leaves behind a bitter taste.
41. Never get too busy for the people who really matter.
42. Dance till you are too tired to stand. It really helps.
43. It is OK if you forget to brush your teeth twice once in a while.
44. Don't ever forget to switch off the lights and never waste water. Dont be selfish. People after us will need them as much as we do.
44. Don't hurt anyone.
45. Don't give up on someone, just because people tell you too. Hold on yet give them space.
46. Don't give up on love for anything in the world. It is what helps to re-build what's lost.
47. If you have something to tell me, I will listen without any biases.
48. Don't listen to people who try to push you back.
49. Don't lose your temper if two people push their way into the queue before you. Lose your temper when 3 do. Yet tell them politely that they should wait their turn.
50. Don't go where you feel you are not wanted. Don't waste your life.
51. Don't let people trample over you.
52. You don't have to live in a grand palace to be somebody.
53. Let go.
54. Don't keep putting off what should be said and done. You don't want to be late beyond help. Life is short and time is running out.
