Lessons from a journey..

A few days back, I had been to a trip, a journey, with my friends. The trip was to Goa, something which every youth looks forward to go to, some, infact yearn to! We went in a hired car, and covered a few places in Goa along with the Banawasi temple in Shivmogga district.

Perhaps, the most valuable things in this trip, were the lessons I learnt..

Here are a few ones-

1. Trust yourself- your ideas, your thoughts, and your wishes. If you dont trust your wisdom, bet no one will.
2. People grow, like everybody does. They may change, for good, or for bad.
3. As a person grows, his/her ego grows too. Learn to manage it, your's as well as other's.
4. Watch your actioins, and your words. They may have life of their own, but show them who the boss is.
5. Don't compete for the little pleasures of life. If it comes your way, don't reject it.
6. Go tripping, knowing the personalities you are going along with. If you don't, be conservative.
7. Not all are friends. Realise it for your own good.
8. Don't expect to be trusted. When somebody does, be thankful.
9. There are a few gems, but a lot of them won't suit you. Nevertheless, they are all valuable.
10. Bring energy and enthusiasm in the group. If you want to be alone, why go in a group!?
11. Learn the lessons, move on. There is no point wasting anything for nothing.
12. Being cool and casual, may not be the best for you. You certainly will not be popular, but you wont attract the pests.
