LIFE'S LESSONS FOR THE YOUNG
Sometimes life throws us bouncers, sometimes a curve ball while sometimes its a straight googly! What is interesting for us though is, how we deal with it- take it on the chin, on the shoulders or on our head, ugh.....it hurt. What does all this leads us to? taste of reality with a jhatka of real life or a test of our inner strength; how mentally and physically strong we are?
The way we have been born and brought up matters a lot.The early experiences,the teenage associations,the adulthood interactions all add up to what we become later. Out of all this, i believe, our childhood experiences leave the deepest and most profound impact. Our sub-conscious mind keeps on registering the events,incidents,the snatches of conversation,even the nuances of all that was good and not so good,which had happened,in our early years and like a film it rewinds when we enter into adulthood. The more we move towards middle age, the more we start viewing happenings,people,etc differently.Past life keeps on playing in our minds eye like a film, a movie in retrospect.
Memories are good and we need to invest in making of good memories. Ex-President Abdul Kalam said once that "you will never remember how many classes you attended in college, but you will certainly remember how you bunked classes for a movie" Memories keep us warm on a rainy day and therefore i talked of 'investing' in it. Similar is the case with happiness, you need to work on it!
Coming back to life's googlies, i would say that memories of our childhood and early teen years, definitely are the investments we fall back on to meet them, at these times.
What do you think,readers?
