At age 5:
The glass of milk stares vindictively down to me. I wanted to get rid of it, but how do I do it right under my mothers nose ? My sister always gets to know when her glass gets refilled. The sink or the potted plants gave away the secrets everytime. Nobody pitied me I had to gulp it down.
Life taught me "There was no escape from Milk or Mother "
At age 10:
" I want that toy now " I shouted at the top of my voice and left no stone unturned in showing the tricks and tantrums I could to get that toy. All the while my mother looked at me with those sharp eyes saying nothing.
I realized after a while when my throat parched that I had enough toys and was being unreasonable.
Life taught me "Unreasonable wants are never meant to be fulfilled "
At age 15 :
I was a teen and had a rush of thoughts in my head. My friends made a movie plan and I wanted to go. But, I was skeptical about my parents letting me go. So, I whispered to my friend on phone " Don't tell your parents about the movie I am not telling mine either ". " No "comes the spurt reply from the other end of the line and then "I never hide anything from my parents and I think so should you ".
I did accordingly and my parents even dropped us to the theater and bought us tickets too.
Life taught me " Good Friends are like god sent and reasonable wants are always fulfilled"
At age 21:
I was almost done with my Engineering and wanted to pursue the Masters from USA (Due to the mass phenomenon). My Father sat down for weeks to explain me that this is not what u have to do right now, you need to have a plan for everything. I dropped the idea and stayed back and then Oracle came my way. I am more than happy because MBA is what I was born to do and time made me realize it.
Life taught me " To always listen and respect experienced people "
I have a long way to go and wish to write about every mile stone I reach in life. I am sure many's life is more or less the same with different examples where in life teaches them how it has to be treated .
