Prajakta's Advice to 15 year self | Shekhar Arena

 'The best people you can contact at any point in your life are your parents. Believe me, they are pretty good listeners.'-Prajakta believes in this. If you are not aware about who prajakta is, Prajakta Koli aka MostlySane is  a leading female youtube content creator with 5.55 M subscribers at present. She has some advices to her 15 year self, some of which I believe is relevant to all. Let's see what see has in her bucket list.

You are worried, talk to your parents. You have self-doubt, talk to your parents. Basically consult them whenever required. They are pretty good listeners.

Prajakta advises to read as many books as we can. Read everyday. This is the most calming feeling you will ever have.

Make saving a habit. There are two ways to do this-Spend as per your needs and then save what's left. The second and effective one, suggested by Warren Buffet is put your savings aside and then spend. Let it be Rs 10 from your pocket money or, 20% of your payroll, just save!


Select your priorities. It's Ok to not have a plan. It's okay if things didn't go as per your plan. But what's important is you have set your priorities. Trust the process! It's worth your time.


See college as a project. A fun, personality development journey. Just filter out the negatives and enjoy this life-changing project.

Let me know which of these advises had a  impact on your life. Also, comment down your views and experiences.

Thanks.

    No doubt that the parents have more experience than us and that they have seen the world but at the same time it's also true that they have not seen the world that we are living in right now. And to be honest it is a lot different than the world they have seen

      It's not about how important or relevant their advice is to us. We always have someone to talk, someone who always think of our betterment!

    In world God is not everywhere to listen our feelings and words.so they make mother and father to complete our dream.parents are first god of ourselves because they will sacrifice everything for children to become good people in future.sometime they will angry on me because they know how to become a good man in comming time.their advice are also very useful in ou life.children will listen their advice carefully and follow them
    In that time children will not listen to their advice and make wrong decision and harm them self.so my experience is that the children is must follow their advice of parents to become good people.

    Sometimes parents don't understand us due to generation gap and also due to the conservative society we are living with... Maybe that's the reason we hides our problems.

      That's an issue but anyways you always have someone to talk to. This generation gap thing can always be minimized.

    Your parent could be your best friend. Like you share things with your buddies anything could be shared with them too to erase this generation gap....
    you can also engage yourself in doing things which you like the most....
    And save money for a surprise gifts to your parents.... and that will give you immense happiness than anything else.... you could then only witness the genuine love in the form of crytal water in thir eyes....
    and the most important thing to live life happily is to change your habits and follow a disciplined routine.
    Last but not the least be something for your parents ... prove yourself and and be proud kid of your parent and a pride for your teachers and friends.....

Solitude and Loneliness

Don't you think the root cause of most of our problems is the underlying loneliness that most of us experience in our daily lives today. Let's analyse what is the reason behind and derive some practical solution to this. Basically there are two situations i.e, loneliness and Solitude. In loneliness, you are alone and worried about having no one by your side while solitude is experiencing a whole new world when you are alone. You experience happiness when you are alone. You don't need a second person to be happy. The root cause of our emptiness is that our foundation for living is based on lies. We are stuck in the loop of lie spread by ourselves only and continue exhibiting dual personality. Actually we try to complete our emptiness through other things, actions and relationships (people)- don't we? As a consequence, we become more dependable on those things, actions or people. This dependency could be at physical, psychological, financial or even at mental level....

A letter to Jersey No. 7 | The Captain Cool!

Dear Maahi, A very Happy Birthday! Hope you are doing fine. 'Dhoni finishes off in style, a magnificent strike into the crowd. India lifts the World Cup after 28 years. The party starts in the dressing room and it's an indian captain who's been absolutely magnificent in the night of the final'. I can feel this entire comment, it's  not a comment any more. This is a letter from a not so typical cricket lover to a living legend. I want to let you know three of the many things I have learnt from you. 1. There is always more time than you think.  I personally believe statistics tell it all. You have been not out 50 times in ODI, out of these 50 ocassions-India won 47 matches. You have always lived this lesson. 2. Don't think of what'll happen in next 20/30 years. Plan about what are we going to do tomorrow or, a day after. You have always exhibited the subtle art of doing more and expecting less. I believe this  is a solution to multiple issues of our...
