1. Care About Relations More And Not About Relatives :

What is the difference between a relative and a relation ?

The former is in the ‘contact list’ but the latter stays in your ‘HEART’.

Relations are those that grow with Love whereas acquaintances grow with Pretence.

Always try to work on relations instead of caring about what relatives or other people think of us because it’s NOT worth it. They are anyways going to have an opinion about you, whether you do something or you do nothing. Be close to people who truly means to you and you mean to them. Leave the rest MEAN world on its own.

2. Wait For Love Instead Of Searching For Lover :

A lover is the one who is perfect in the eye but love is perfect for the heart.

Love can happen even with the most imperfect man or woman on this planet. He might not fulfill your checklist but is the one who fills your heart with unsaid emotions. It is a famous saying that :

“Don’t lose a True Love, In search of a Perfect lover…!!! BECAUSE ‘Perfection’ is a fantasy, but ‘Truth’ is always a reality…!!!”

A lover is the mirror image of your expectations where the mirror is your heart. But Love grows beyond expectations. Once the mirror is broken, the so called perfect image appears distorted and there comes the beauty of love which retains its existence crystal clear even when the mirror is into parts.

So always try to wait for love to happen naturally. What you tend to find to cut off your loneliness is the lover but what finds you is LOVE….

Be someone’s LIFELINE and not only VALENTINE….!!!!

3. Preserve Humanity Than Saving Only The Human :

We are more concerned about saving only the human and not the evaporating humanity which is the foundation of the human and even life.

“I wonder if our consciences have become dumb or deaf we are.”

It is so amusing when we say that the world is bad, forgetting that this world is made by people like us only. Preserve the humanity inside you for the sake of beauty of life on this earth.

4. Learn More To Accept Than To Expect :

I have heard many people inflexibly saying that “ Nothing Is Impossible. ” But I think they forget about fulfilling expectations at that instance. Expectations are never ending and incoherent. So why to waste time and effort on something that is unattainable even after you give it all. Instead, fulfill your dreams and live them.

“ Row the boat of your dreams through the river of expectations to reach the shore where your goal and happiness stays.”

If we believe in not focussing on what others expect from us, we ourselves should not fall in the same plate as them.

We always find faults in others and that is all that bothers. We usually blame others for the death of our inner peace because of our own insecurities.

When you start expecting more from others, you automatically stop growing emotionally because you are always dependent on others for your happiness. If you cannot accept the way they are, instead of anticipating a change from them, either maintain a distance or change your own perspective.

Stop expecting and take the charge of your own happiness.

5. Learn To Invest Money Than Investing Only Time :

You cannot spend your whole life working hard to make money. Warren Buffet quotes:

“ If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”

We work hard day and night to save the surplus money. Only saving will not multiply your money. Investing it at right place, at right time will multiply it. Instead of saving what is left after spending, try to save and invest and then spend the rest.

Rather than working hard like an ‘ EMPLOYEE ’ your whole life, invest smartly to become the ‘ BOSS ’…!!!

These five virtues were just words told to me by my parents till LIFE made me realize their meaning…
