The sense of loss has not yet gone. Others who have had similar experience insist it takes a while before it does. In one instant the feeling of having lost the roof over your head is not easy to get over. The last few days I was thinking of the lessons that Baba tried to impart to me, sometimes successfully and sometimes not so successfully.
- Take care of your health
- Save money. You never know when you will need it.
- Spend as much time as possible with your family. Very little else matters.
- Be a good father to your son. Always be there beside him when he needs you.
- Take life as it comes. With all its ups and downs.
- Perception matters. It is important to not only be good but also to look good.
- Work might take to some foreign land, but that is not your home. Home is where you were born.
- Be particular about your work.
- Always maintain a checklist of things. He used to maintain a small notebook with him where he noted down things that he had to do.
- Don't procrastinate. Do things as they appear. Don't wait for tomorrow. You never know what tomorrow brings.
- Be independent.
- Make as many friends as possible. A lot of them will drop out along the way.
- Don't take unnecessary risks in life. They are usually not worth it.
- Be content with what you have. Have no regrets in life.
