Life is a journey and as we pass by being spectators to all little things around us, in a jiffy we find out that life has in fact passed us by and those sweet old school days are just a vivid memory of us molding into different characters.If i could write myself a letter to my young self being in school i would have so much to say.Though It is because of all different events that we become who we truly are.School teaches us a lot about values, education ,being friends and generally growing up.However when you get out into the real world its a whole different ball game .The things that school don't teach us.These are my list of what i learned.I know every one has their one different things and might not agree with me but i am sure some of us have learned that :
Hard work beats Talent any day.
Remember the kid who always stood first in class,or the guy who did exceptionally well in sports.How they would always do well as if god had selected his favorite few and was blessing upon them.I am sure the topper wasn't playing police and chor with you after school or watching television after dinner like he said he was.
I have always had a low self esteem and would always beat my self up comparing to them.I am sure the kid who stood first had spend hours reading books and studying ,the kid who who did well in sports wouldn't be good if he spend all day playing contra( video games), now would he?
.
There is always a limit to how much far talent can take you but if you do not put in the hard work, its a waste of the gift you have upon you.
If you have a dream ,if you want it bad,then you gotta put everything on the line and go for it day in and out..Then you can be the next Lyonchen.
PS: Never let your self believe the teachers who tell you that you are smart; it just makes you think you will do well in exam and you manage to get an average grade
Friends come and go.
The special bond that happens as a kid school is genuine i believe.We make friends not based on any judgements but it just happens.You meet someone and ask wanna play? and there you become friends.
The very special people who used to be the most important ones for you ,the ones whose judgement you trusted the most, the ones you always hung out with eventually fades, anyways most of them do.
You are friends and before you know it life happens.You go to different colleges , meet every now and then soon you find that you have nothing in common.Your priorities change your timings change and you lose them and that is OK .
They were placed as special moment there to touch your life for a moment and go.Only for a special few ones that teach you about real friendship most just pass by.
Don't beat yourself up too much.You are unique like every one else.
Being in school is tough. Its a place where you have thousands of students to compare with who are always on their toes being judgmental about how you walk, talk and act.At one point it feels like school is the whole world.
Those years are so hard ,no wonder all lots of young people commit suicide.Those hard moments feels like its the end of the world.
Don't beat yourself up too much.You eventually learn that all of it doesnt really matter and what makes you happy is the most important thing.
As you grow older it just doesn't matter if you don't have a branded shirt.If your lover finds you sexiest in a torn worn out shirt then that's it.
It would be just hard to walk around being a price tag, trying to keep up every time.
It just wont matter that you do not have friends at some point, you realize you are strong enough by your self.
It doesn't matter that you are not good in sports or in fact not good at anything .Celebrating the fact that you are healthy and you have food on your table is a reason enough to celebrate.
All that you ever dreamed of might never come true but just know,Sports is for fun, guitar is for singing , books are for losing yourself in them , friends are for celebrating the joy of companionship and it goes on , its in the little things you find your joy.
It doesnt matter that you have the prettiest girl in school firstly you must love yourself enough then you are bound to find some one that loves you.
At the end you find out that you tire yourself out by trying to impress people and do thingsto get a friend of be cool.
Its hard to keep up with the latest fashion and sometimes you just gotta let it go and walk around in ur bata chapal around town.Things get easier.
Your mom was always nice.
Remember the days in school where you used to think how your parents were the most stupid people and do not know anything. Those rebellious days.
I have learned how hard it can get in life.How they sacrifice their dreams for their children.
You put yourself in their shoes and find out in fact they have the biggest heart that always glow for you no matter how mean you were to them.
I want it now.
Being a kid you have all that energy and you want it all now.Well it never works that way and when you grow up you find out that you just lose yourself trying to do a million things and you don't get a single thing done.You realize that patience is a virtue and realize pacing yourself is best before you start a journey.
Habit makes a man.
Thoughts becomes action ,which in turn becomes habit and then becomes your character.
All the little habits you pick up in school tend to stick with you for most of your life.So if you think you are strong enough to smoke one cigarette a day to be cool in front of people,trust me it will be a stick that sticks with you.It would just be hard to give up
Developing good habits from childhood is important.If you are grow up being happy as a kid then you grow up to be a happy adult.
Depressed and low self esteem sticks with you for most of your life.Though it can be helped later on but it takes a lot of effort cause you are built that way.
My teachers should have taught me how to come to school early or how to talk to people rather than what southwind comes from the pi chart to the hydrogen in nuclear s law?Not saying that these aren't important it makes you know about how everything works but developing a character is as important as that.
Next Lyonchen??
It is good to have ambition or a direction in your life , but always know that things may take a side turn and you may be just a chef in lyonchens house,How ever take pleasure in it and you can at least decide on how lyonchen would be eating his next meal.
Morning people tend to more happier than night owls so get your sleep.
You are never to old to play games.
Every one grows up but maturity level depends on the person i am talking to.
You are only as happy or as sad as you let your self be.
Life is not always fair ,not always rainbows and butterflies and not always "ha ha he he" but its worth living every second of it. Look at the little things
