ADVICE FROM OLD PEOPLE // advice from young ones GRIN AND BEAR IT READERS’ DIGEST
1 The most important person in your life is the person who agreed to share their life with you. Treat them as such. KR CONTRACT? 2 You might live a long life, or you might live a short one — who knows. But either way, trust me when I say that you’re going to wish you took better care of yourself in your youth. KR BUT NEVER ATTENDED IN ENFORCING THAT DISCIPLINE? 3 Stuff is just stuff. Don’t hold onto material objects, hold onto time and experiences instead. KR SO DON’T BUY ANYTHING? 4 Jealousy destroys relationships. Trust your significant other, because who else are you supposed to trust? KR only one to trust and rest do not trust? 5 People always say, “Make sure you get a job doing what you love!” But that isn’t the best advice. The right job is the job you love some days, can tolerate most days, and still pays the bills. Almost nobody has a job they love every day. KR Somebody stole my quote; my father gave; written many a times here; there are no phases; just love the job you do or quit boldly 6 If you’re getting overwhelmed by life, just return to the immediate present moment and savour all that is beautiful and comforting. Take a deep breath, relax. KR Already breathing or else would have been dead 7 Years go by in the blink of an eye. Don’t marry young. Live your life. Go places. Do things. If you have the means or not. Pack a bag and go wherever you can afford to go. While you have no dependents, don’t buy stuff. Any stuff. See the world. Look through travel magazines and pick a spot. GO! KR The older who advised said,” you take the back-pack and I shall give you a lot of money to see places? 8 Don’t take life so seriously. Even if things seem dark and hopeless, try to laugh at how ridiculous life is. KR What shall I do; When I get a job yo say something; now you say the opposite; your advice is o confusing; better stop advising. 9 A true friend will come running if you call them at 2am. Everyone else is just an acquaintance. KR Why should one “come” without a purpose at 2 AM? And is there no one at home at that time? 10 Children grow up way too fast. Make the most of the time you have with them. KR Don’t you think, even without that they will grow up, may be in a better way too? 11 Nobody ever dies wishing they had worked more. Work hard, but don’t prioritize work over family, friends, or even yourself. KR Even without working at any time, people will not die till that date sir. And that will help to be with family all the time. 12 Eat and exercise like you’re a diabetic heart patient with a stroke — so you never actually become one. KR Even if you go gym right from your birth, nonstop, still you will be diabetic and stroke while exercising may attack. Pak fast bowler is diabetic. 13. Maybe this one isn’t as profound as the others, but I think it’s important… Floss regularly, dental problems are awful. KR Flossing is west cult and they also lose their teeth. 14. Don’t take anyone else’s advice as gospel. You can ask for advice from someone you respect, then take your situation into consideration and make your own decision. Essentially, take your own advice is my advice… KR SO WHY DID YOU WASTE TIME SO LONG AND STILL CONTIUING AFTER THIS? 15. The joints you damage today will get their revenge later. Even if you think they’ve recovered completely. TRUST ME! KR Then you will ask me to read 1 again; Joint go useless by not using not because as you said 16. We have one time on this earth. Don’t wake up and realize that you are 60 years old and haven’t done the things you dreamed about. KR PAST IS PAST PRESENT IS PRESENT AND FUTURE IS FUTURE; WHAT HAPPENED WAS GOOD; WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WILL ALSO BE GOOD. 17. Appreciate the small things and to be present in the moment. What do I mean? Well, it seems today like younger people are all about immediate gratification. Instead, why not appreciate every small moment? We don’t get to stay on this crazy/wonderful planet forever and the greatest pleasure can be found in the most mundane of activities. Instead of sending a text, pick up the phone and call someone. Call your mother, have a conversation about nothing in particular. Those are the moments to hold onto. KR I CALLED MY MOTHER BUT SHE IS IN THE CLUB PHONE ON SILENT MODE WHAT TO DO? 18. Pay your bills and stay the hell out of debt. If I could have paid myself all the money I’ve paid out in interest over the years, I’d be retired already. KR SORRY FOR THAT MATTER, I CANNOT PAY YOUR DEBT SIR 19. If you have a dream of being or doing something that seems impossible, try for it anyway. It will only become more impossible as you age and become responsible for other people. KR Thatha you are a bad person; you want me to become a MLA in TN and get beaten up? Sarcastic Thatha And finally, the last piece of advice: KR OMG 20. When you meet someone for the first time, stop and realize that you really know nothing about them. You see race, gender, age, clothes. Forget it all. You know nothing. Those biased assumptions that pop into your head because of the way your brain likes categories, are limiting your life, and other people’s lives. KR Good Thatha; I need Rs 50,000 can you spare me now? 21 Pl don’t advise because you have a lot of time on earth; I am far better than you now. If you need some, pl ask me Bye KR IRS 2624 On Sun, 2 Jun 2024 at 00:55, 'venkat giri' via iyer123 < [email protected]> wrote: > https://www.facebook.com/share/p/Yhg1kSuY4Yq9pzQF/?mibextid=xfxF2i > > > Yahoo Mail: Search, organise, conquer > <https://mail.onelink.me/107872968?pid=NativePlacement&c=Global_Acquisition_YMktg_315_EmailSignatureGrowth_YahooMail:Search,Organize,Conquer&af_sub1=Acquisition&af_sub2=Global_YMktg&af_sub3=&af_sub4=100000945&af_sub5=OrganizeConquer__Static_> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "iyer123" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/iyer123/2104540320.478583.1717307699464%40mail.yahoo.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/iyer123/2104540320.478583.1717307699464%40mail.yahoo.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
