The best piece of information I've béen ever given was given to me by my dad. One day, we were walking through a park, the park was on the opposite side of an office tower.

Lesson 1-

We saw a group of people arguing something about the company's future fighting almost themselves... My dad told me... "Kiddo, you've always asked me when you'll be a man, let me tell you as we take a walk through the park" . I excitedly reciprocated with the idea... He said to me.. "Look at these people if you can be like their leader, keeping your head high even when all-around him are losing theirs, he is confident in himself and yet has the sanity to think about why were they having a doubt."..

Lesson 2

And he paused, as we saw a man waiting for his beloved.. "if you can wait patiently when for the time comes, and not be tired when waiting , like the man here, trust others, forgive people for lying and yet never lie yourself.. forgive others, for hating you and yet not hate anyone.. but not be proud of it.."
Then there came a madman... Fumbling and mumbling gibberish...

Lesson 3

My dad said to me.." That guy, he looks mad, because he dreams, his dreams are out of our comprehension and that's why we call him mad... Remember, to dream , dream big and yet not just dream.. work on them.. think and yet not be engulfed in thoughts only.." and he paused, as we passed a couple mourning the death of their kin,

Lesson 4

He kept silent... I asked him" what happened dad!" He said with a dim voice. ... " Remember there'll be times when sadness and grief engulfes you.. laugh, remembering the good time you've spent, the good times that are yet to come.." as we passed by a court... passing by lawyers as they talked about a court case they are working on..

Lesson 5

"Remember if you've spoken something, bear to hear the consequences of it...and yet not be offended by the twisted truth spoken by knaves... Bear to witness all you've built fall to pieces and then reconstruct it all again."
And as we passed by a casino(not literally but a place were betting was done) on our way home..
Dad's eyes sparkled and said...

Lesson 5.5

"Remember in life if push comes to shove... Be ready to bet all your earnings on the smallest of things.. lose them all and then start over at beginning a new life..." And as we were in the colony.. we passed a group of mobsters harrassing a girl... We called the police.. stopped the guys and then began our journey... Back home... He said..

Lesson 6

"This is the last but most important of all things.. remember never to mock the weak, harass a weak girl/woman... Or misbehave in any way with a lady.. and yet not let a lady hurt your pride... If you can be none of the five, but the 6th, you'll be a man... And even if you have all five and are missing on the 6th.. even then you'll not be a man"
And that was the beginning of my journey as a real man...
