On Name

September 19, 2007

I recall something my dad mentioned to me when i was 16, the age went your hormones are wild and you feel the whole world is against you. The age when you do things you end up regretting. My dad gave me a really good advice, which will last anyone a lifetime..

 

He told me, take a blank white piece of paper and write your name as beautifully as you can.

After writing beautifully, crumpled it.

And now,, open the paper. Straighten it out. Try to make it as it was before. And this is what you get..

The point my dad was trying to put to me was:

U write ur name so beautifully on a white piece of paper.. Shows innocence, cleanliness, you luv urself, you respect urself.. but then in life you do things that damages ur name, the name that represents your character.. You damage urself.. self destruction..

Then some point in life, after the action is done, you regret it.. then you try to straighten out your act. Try to make things right. You may succeed, but you might have hurt someone or urself.. They leave scars behind.. permanent ones.. and it haunts you. And it doesn’t make your name as beautiful as it was in the beginning, on the clean white sheet paper..

So think of your actions, how damaging it might be, and the impact of your actions to your present and your future. :)
