I am glad that Blogadda and Stoondt has made me remember the person who has inspired me in my life and helped me achieve my goals. There have been many people who have advised me many times in my life and today is the day to remember those inspirational words and quotes that I remember at every point in my life. The person whose advice I follow till this day is my FATHER.
When I started earning money from my first job at the age of 16, my mother was very disappointed as she believed that girls should not go out and work and this used to always pinch me badly to see the unhappy face of my mom. I still remember the day when I earned my first salary and rushed towards my mom to feed her with sweets. She refused to eat them but my dad held my shoulders and asked for a sweet that I was going to feed my mom. He ate it and blessed me with his hand. It was not that my mom was angry on me but she just feared that the outside world was cruel towards working women but my dad always encouraged me and let me fulfil my dreams.
I used to work and study in the evening college and it used to get late to reach home and it was my father who used to come to take me from my college so that I'm safe. He always was there for me and used to protect me from falling. Studies was something he admired as he used to sit under street lights and learn. He loved books a lot and used to keep awake with me throughout my exams and used to wait for me outside the exam hall to boost my confidence. Some of the quotes I still remember when I feel low and need help are:
Never beg, borrow and steal...Always live on your own money and strength and in times of hardships, never borrow money as it would only increase your problems but never reduce it. This quote of his has always helped me whenever I needed money and I learnt to manage through it till now.
If you meet back-to-back failures till it makes you bend completely, that is the time when you need to rise...The meaning that this quote of my dad taught me that I should never feel it's the end of my life when I am sad or going through an emotional breakdown or professional hardships in my life. Things will become fine soon as every person gets his share of happiness and sadness.
Dream as high as you can, but never forget yourself in your dreams...This was the most important quote of his that applies in every stage of my life. I always had dreams about my married life, my kids and my family but I never expected beyond my limits or something that I couldn't fulfil. I knew and set my boundaries.
I am blogging about my dreams and the people who helped make them true for the #AdviceThatMattered activity at BlogAdda in association with Stoodnt.
