To Dear youth,
You suck! Yes you do big time. It is 2016 and we are still fighting on who is allowed to eat what! How can other caste have more benefits than us! Fight over water, caste, religion, color, race, food and what not! STOP this bullshit!!!
Do you realize what we are enjoying today is because of what our ancestors did, at-least last generation did. You are using technology, eating good food, riding super awesome vehicles and what not. Question is What are you doing for upcoming generations except hashtagging on social media and polluting environment !!
I compiled list of suggestions and sharing with hope it might help someone.
Advice for Kids, pass this to kid you know
Play physical games, make friends, talk with friends, use internet for learning, stop comparing with other kids, do not push your parents for every materialistic thing, stop mobile only life, eat well, participate in school events and go on tours with friends and family, be yourself, do not try to be adults before time, find your creativity, do not lose your passion, never give up, grades/marks are nothing in your life, laugh as much as you can and talk with elders.
Advice for Youth
Stop being blind followers of film actors and actresses. They are doing their Job and getting paid for that. Don’t treat them like God. If you like their work, praise and respect them. Follow their good deeds. Don’t be an f***ing idiot and consider them more than human.
Start taking interest in politics. If we always let old aged politicians to run country, how can we complain all the time that they do not understand current time needs. Who says a young person can not be leader ? Come forward and be a good leader, not a power hungry politician. We live in age of lightning fast media. Use this opportunity, we are in serious need of ‘PLP-> Padhi Likhi Party’ [The educated party] unlike politic parties we have. Not a bad idea for this start-up age !
Read and Read. Make habit of reading as much as you can. Read good blogs, books, history, biography, anything you like or you can get your hands on. If you don’t like reading, It is because you have not tried. Spend 30 minutes a day minimum reading something.
Eat Well. Do you want to look good ? Do you want to impress the other person you like ? Do you want to live happy ? Then f**king eat good. If you know fast food is bad for your health, stop eating it! To start this habit, promise yourself you will eat at-least one meal which you know is healthy for your body.
Talk with strangers. One Harvard study says true happiness does not come from love of work, it comes from love of people. Talk with strangers, make friends, help someone, get help from someone, smile and learn from others.
Stop Excess Drinking: Excess of drinking DOES NOT make you cool. Stop drinking to be happy OR activated. Live, have fun and drink in the same order. Do not drink, have fun and live.
Physical exercise. 4% of a day, 5 days a week makes it 2.97% of your time to keep you active, good looking and sharp. That fat belly looks good on teddy bears. Stop procrastinating.
Avoid Arrange marriage. I am not saying arrange marriage should be banned but stop being narrow minded. Spend time before tying that knot. Get to know each other. Do not say you love if you don’t mean. Love is not a feeling, it is a commitment.
Religion, Race, Color are things of past. You are educated, use your brain. Use common sense. If two people fight, both lose something, it could be physical loss, mental loss, time loss, monetary loss and sometimes life. Live and let live.
Stop wasting money on not-required materialistic things. If you have a mobile, you do not need every time a latest version comes up in market. Start understanding value of money OR at-least wastage of money. If you are not using something, give it to someone else. Instead of buying crap 3 times an year, buy one good product once in 2 years.
Social media is not your personal life. Post what you want to broadcast to public and never post something which is personal to you or someone else.
Advice for Guys
Take care of your grooming and cleaning. If you look like a zombie always, no girl will ever look towards you. Instead of complaining why not any girl look towards you, give them reason. OR f**king stop giving them reason to ‘neglect you’. Wear fit clothes not costly clothes. Wear clean clothes. Spend money on beards not beers.
Express yourself. Learn how to express yourself not impress others always. The former makes you open up and latter makes you be someone else who you are not.
Eve teasing shows values of your life. Neither participate in such activity nor support indirectly. If you see it happening, try to stop it, always. Respect other people and other genders.
Advice for Girls
Stop being a jerk. If you like someone, you can initiate conversation. If someone approaches you and you do not like, respect them and never hurt their self esteem. Beauty is not everything.
Understand difference between feminism and equality. Focus on latter and do not ruin concept of feminism by taking advantage of it. You are not less than men, but stop considering yourself more than men. Equality leads to happiness.
Open up. If you go through some bad moment or incident, open up. Share and avoid it happening with others. Being brave will give you that sense of satisfaction.
Advice for Parents
Do not Kill creativity, schooling is important and creativity is super important. Not everyone can be good at what you think they should be.
Your role is not to make your children what you want them to be, your role is to support our children what they desire to be. Teach them to take risk. Teach them to fail and learn. Teach them low grades and success are never related.
Start having meaningful conversation with your kids than just how much they scored in school test. Ask how was their day and make them feel special as a human being whom you care about not as a machine whose achievement you want to brag on and want that sticker at your car back.
Over protecting is ruining your child. Stop taking blame for their mistake. Teach them to accept mistake and punishment.
Do not spend whole life for your kids, You have to start living yourself if you want them to love life. Show them individuality since childhood.
Majority of problems in this age are because of bad parenting unknowingly. Today’s adults are yesterday’s kids whom you raised. Good or bad, you taught them way of life.
To dear new Parents, You have this responsibility for your kids. If something was not good in your childhood, the damage is done. DO NOT REPEAT SAME with your children.
