Once, in my childhood episode, my grandpa told me something,

Some words that remain a sacred legacy to me,

He said:

“ Life is like a labyrinth,

It displays many ways – heading to many destinations,

Then, it is your own wisdom to decide where to go.”

“Remember, you must choose the right path,

Because, once you pick the wrong way,

You might get lost, get trapped in the darkest cave,

With no way back…

“So, before that happens,

Now you have to follow what I’m going to say to you,

Listen to these words and keep them last in your mind…”

Then, while hugging me on his warm lap, he continued…

“Dear, the easiest way to avoid “Getting Lost” is by knowing how the road ahead before you finally pass it,

And to know how the road ahead,

You have to ask ‘those who come back from it’…”

Then as I grew up – I found that my grandpa’s words are so RIGHT,

The point is this advice helps me so much.

I never hesitate to ask the older people for some advice when I get into trouble,

I never feel shy to learn from anyone who knows better about anything I don’t know,

So finally this habit keeps my feet on the right track…

So, guys if you feel that you’re in the middle of no where,

Don’t know what to do,

Or get confused about your life,

Maybe you should try to ask those persons – who are elder than you,

It might be your mom, dad, or granny, uncle, teachers…

Somehow they live earlier than us, so they’re supposed to know this life better,

Just try, and you may find the lights to light your way…
