Newer Heights



Dear Children,

Ups and downs are there in everyone’s life. Even the person born with the silver spoon in his mouth had to go the jail. It is how we view it that makes all the difference. How you handle the situation that makes all the difference. There will be many opportunities in your life, but taking the right decision at the crucial juncture is what will bring you success.

Success does not mean how much wealth you have amassed. It is how you lived… are living… Are you trustworthy? Can you look at people in their eyes? Can you walk on the road without trying to avoid anyone? Are you comfortable being in any place? Can you talk to people from all walks of life… without either of you feeling uncomfortable? Can you give a natural smile? Can you laugh at yourself? If you can do all these and much more then you surely are your own master!

If we don’t let money be the master we can certainly achieve harmony in our lives. We can be with our near and dear ones and share their joy. There was a point in our lives when you were all young, when we had to choose between going after money and staying together. I am happy to say we chose the latter and are so much the better for that.

It happened because we lived a simple life… a trustworthy life. People came forward to help us when we needed it. Can’t forget them. They trusted us. To be trusted, you need to keep your word and mind what you speak. Don’t make false promises. In fact you don’t have to promise anything… your words should be good enough that it alone can take you to newer heights.
