Advice...advise...advice...
As a teacher, as an elder, as a sister, as myself..I am often asked for advice. Lucky me! Isn’t it? In this world where everything but an opinion costs, many are eager to and enthusiastically distribute the free dose of suggestions but rarely do they get audiences who are interested in grabbing the recommendations with the same zeal. Here I am, the ultimate counsel seeker. So let’s do it. Let me share some it with you too. Lucky you!
This is what I wish to tell all the youngsters seeking tips to live in this big world:
Always apply sun screen before you venture into the sun because the Ozone hole has made you more vulnerable to the ultra violet rays than the earlier generations. Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth to save water which might run dry by the time you get old if you continue wasting it at this pace. Ya, you will get old how so much you resent it so …live your youth to the fullest.. how? Wear nose rings and you may even pierce your belly button or print tattoos over your young body . The only caution – do it safely. Ya ya I am saying look into the mirror more often and click your pictures as much as you can because you would miss this face of yours once those wrinkles appear. Your these snaps will tell you that you were always more beautiful than you ever thought you were. And hey, sleep a lot and drink plenty of water to maintain this beauty. Jog, run, cycle, swim… do all this while your muscle power still exists. Now, with all this power, you might wish to rag your juniors or dance till you faint at the party. Go ahead do it. The latest music will not be latest any more so go catch it before it gets stale. Same goes for the latest books. Read them all till you can do so without the glasses for myopia. Hence go shopping for all the trendy stuff. Shop a lot and earn a lot to be able to buy that fifty ninth shirt and eighty fourth handbag. It’s good to flaunt all the good things. And the best possession that you have is your smile. Smile a lot, smile even as you look at that syringe while donating blood. Of course you will donate blood …afterall who can miss a chance to be a saviour..an angel without much effort. I am already sure that you switch off the lights and search the dustbin to throw that bubblegum wrapper. Afterall you love this earth and the electricity that runs your sweet Air Conditioner.
So my friends now you see why I am the much sought after advice seeker …well because I don’t give much of it. I speak so less. All that I ever say is have fun ..and lots of it.. Just don’t forget the sunscreen!
