When I asked my 70-year-old grandfather for one key takeaway in life, he looked at me thoughtfully and asked me to come back in a week’s time, wherein he will have his answer ready.

1 week later —

“Manny, there is one truth in life that will always hold good for me,” he started.

“Over the years, it has become my rock. My one great source of comfort, confidence, happiness and love.”

Turning around and making sure that we were the only ones in our lawn, he continued.

“No, I’m not talking about your grandmother,” he winked cheekily.

“You see, most people go through life without ever realizing that they hold in their possession, such an invaluable asset.”

“That they can and should make good use of it! That they deserve it!”

I reeled in closer with abated breath.

“Manny, my boy,”

he revealed,

“a good underwear is everything.”
