I see many people attending classes, and taking up courses that show
them the simple way to lead a happy life. When one of my close friends was attending one such class, I
just accompanied her, out of curiosity. The class was very interesting. I
learnt quite a few things, overall it was a nice experience. But didn't I hear
most of the things from someone very close to me, perhaps the person closest to
me? Yes, I am talking about my mother. Most of the things that the class covered had been already covered by my mom, time and again.
There is perhaps an entire world of things that I have
been advised by her. There have been few instances, when she initiated to
impart those advice and there were times when I needed someone’s advice badly
and sought her help. No matter what, I had never been able to hide my worries,
fears, happiness, emotions and even lies from her. And all through these years,
the basic rules to live life has been simplified by my mom, #MyFirstExpert as:
Learn From Your Mistakes: We are human
beings and are prone to commit mistakes. What I had learnt from my mother is
that not to despair and cry over the mistakes, instead learn what to do to make
things perfect again. Every mistake we do, yields a scope to learn on how
things can be done in different ways to achieve success. I have done a lot of
mistakes in my life, but truly I never repent on those that much, as I know,
there is still a scope.
Do Not Waste Food: My mother is the best
cook in the world to me. However, for higher studies and job, I had to stay in
Hostels and PG accommodations, where the food was not really appealing. Since
childhood, my mother has taught me to be selective in choosing the food, while
taking. I have seen many fellow students taking a plate full of food and then
ending up throwing them in the bin. I take small portion of food and retake it
when necessary as, wasting food means keeping a major portion of the world
starved. That does not mean I eat less, as a true Bengali I eat my heart full
wherever I go.
These 3 fundamental learnings to live life
may not sound that novel to many, but for me these are words of diamonds framed
in a gold plating. I have made these a way of my life, and I am happy, that my
mother is #MyFirstExpert in showing me the way of living.
