My dearest baby Z,
My father once wrote me a letter on his version of the Golden Rules of Life. I'm 30 today, and I've learned a few things along the way, so here's a lowdown of them for you:
My father once wrote me a letter on his version of the Golden Rules of Life. I'm 30 today, and I've learned a few things along the way, so here's a lowdown of them for you:
1) Family comes first. Period.
2) Do not put up with people who make you feel inadequate. Even if they are family.
3) Learn the rules carefully before you break them.
4) Be reliable, motivated, and self reliant.
5) Work smart not hard.
6) Keep trying. Hustle.
7) Don't take no for an answer but don't keep asking the same question to the one who keeps saying no to you.
8) Inherit the essence of your nani's wisdom, "Tu nahi toh aur sahi, aur nahi toh aur sahi."
9) Read. Always learn. Apply your learning.
10) Knowledge that you cannot use to help yourself, or someone else, is useless.
11) Fail a lot, fail young, fail at all kinds of things. Nothing builds character like rejection and failure.
12) If you don't believe in yourself, no one ever will.
13) Love, respect, and pamper your body and mind.
14) Favourites are overrated.
15) You're allowed to change your mind. Be kind about it if feelings are involved.
16) Be straightforward. Be diplomatic, if you inherit that trait from your father.
17) Moisturize. From head to toe.
18) Mentors are a blessing.
19) Pass on a favor as much as possible.
20) Surround yourself with intelligent people.
21) Trust, but verify
22) Be a supportive woman. Make a lot of girl friends. Remember that women can really have it all.
23) Device tiny tests on the moral, intellectual and other non-negotiable grounds before choosing a partner.
24) Do not prolong a dead relationship.
25) Know thy self.
26) Learn how to give yourself a thorough orgasm before expecting another person to know what to do with your equipment.
27) Make older friends.
28) Reconcile to the fact that some things in life are sheer and absolute dumb luck.
29) Travel, food, and books are worth it.
30) Don't take anything too seriously or too lightly because remember, all to taste death.
Mummy.
