My Daddy BEST!!!

This morning I was reading an article that had the wisest advice from history's famous dads. But wait a minute, before I look at the Famous Dads, how much have I heeded my Dad's pieces of advice??!!! I have been lucky like every other kid in the world to be guided by my Father!! Some advice hard, very hard to follow, some take eternity to be mastered. I have fallen down so low sometimes deviating completely from following them and then try hard to fall in line. So far I haven't been able to match him in anyway although he practices all of them with such discipline, persistence and so naturally.


Archu,
what is your greatest advantage;
your free time. isn't it,which you wont get back even after two decade.
so make best use of it.


1.Invite beings of light - HOW; BY DRIVING AWAY BEING OF DARKNESS MANIFESTING IN THE FORM OF LAZINESS
2.PLAN YOUR WORKS FOR THE MONTH FOR THE FREE TIME AND COMPLETE IT AHEAD OF TIME.THAT IS HOW YOU BECOME MASTER OF TIME MANAGEMENT. IT WILL HELP YOU SO MUCH WHEN NECESSITY COMES.
3.WHEN YOU READ ANY BOOK MEMORISE IT LATER. IT IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN
4.WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING PLAN WELL IN ADVANCE AND CARRY EVERYTHING REQUIRED FOR THAT WORK.
5.ALWAYS DO THINGS IN ADVANCE.
6.BE A LIGHT NOT A JUDGE
7.BE A MODEL TO SET EXAMPLE TO OTHERS NOT A CRITIC.
8.BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION AND NOT A PART OF THE PROBLEM.
9. WORK ON YOU
A)FOR A FULL DAY LISTEN TO YOUR LANGUAGE
B)MAKE A COMMITMENT TO YOURSELF TO EXERCISE YOUR FREEDOM TO BE PRO ACTIVE.
I DONT WANT TO BORE YOU ANY FURTHER
HOW ARE YOU AFTER THIS PROLHAMM (He means Prolonged hammering :-))
I HOPE YOU WILL BECOME MORE STRONGER
WITH ALL BEST WISHES TO TITTU&ACHUTHA (That's what he called me lovingly)

Visitors on my Patio


The sun is shining in gold hidden by the green trees of the spring. Birds are in plenty all joyful and gay and I say to myself " it's spring time!!!" I had missed this feast to my eyes for long and I'm so enkindled now.

My patio doesn't reflect the fantastic spring time. So I decide to pot some plants and place a bird feeder.
I wait the whole day to see not a bird around. I wait the next day and the next and the next. The days are getting hotter. I can see the sunrise earlier. On a fine rainy morning, I see a host of sparrows chirping and feeding on the grains I had left for them days back!!!
Finally! There they are!!! I wake up every morning to hear this little ones quavering and realize, 'Oops! They are waiting for their share of food for the day.' I give them their share and have my breakfast.

I sit the whole day making new job trials and I see them come over and over again for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner!!!

The visitors at my patio have increased by the day. Apart from the house sparrows, there are a couple of House Finches, that look just like the house sparrow except they are red on their head,

Mourning Doves, very quite while eating and loud when flying, a Blue Jay, bigger than sparrows with beautiful blue and white feathers. The Blue Jay gives guest appearances just one time a day while the rest of the flock almost dine and wine with me the whole day. And now, there is a squirrel that wants the grains too. The Squirrel finds its way from the ground to my first floor apartment for sharing the grains!!!! Very wonderful, I thought!
And then there are, baby sparrows along with their mommy (I guess). They would open their mouth wide to which mommy throws grain(s). Its such a warm thing to see in the morning. Now I can see how those little ones grow each day and start to feed their own tiny stomaches.

I wonder at how such varied species SHARE the grains in the same place at the same time in harmony. They are never late from bed (Nest, I must say!), always in tune with nature, healthy and happy all the time. They probably have no idea that there is someone watching them and speaking of them to a whole lot of people. I think they have become a part of my day quite as much as my best companions!!! I barely sit at home during the day without their presence in front of me with their sweet tweets. My day sure does feel brighter in the presence of my charming mates.
