Year 25

25, a nice number. A fancy number for geeks like me who were always a fan of multiples of 5

At my 25th year, I have been put through circumstances in life, that make me wonder ( and get a lil scared ) about the great big wonderous world we live in. My high school English teacher was right when she said I was yet to come out of my shell.

Well, been an observer too long, never liked it from the viewer seat and now am made to play my part in the world's stage, don't like that either. Everything seems screwed up. 

TBH, I am a very slow learner in practical life, and so this is all about the things I have learnt late and will have to remember big time, throughout my life.

25 Things to remember, for life:

1. Never speak, unless spoken to
2. Never speak unnecessarily
3. Never speak ill, lest, try to speak ill lesser everyday
4. Always have a back up plan for any activity you do
5. Time is not the boss of you, that's Rule 408
6. Don't help when not asked | Don't go where not invited | Don't stay where not respected
7. There is a change only you can bring to this world, you matter.
8. Forgiveness is a rare virtue, imbibe it
9. Self worth, self esteem, self confidence and self repespect is how you treat yourself, giving an example to others, on how to treat you. They'ren't just words for empowerment
10. Talk to someone if need be, write if need be, and cry if need be. Sleep, Food and Music help, always.
11. Patience is not easy, courage is not easy, to be brave in the darkest time is not easy. But they are necessary, practice them.
