Life's Lessons By An Old Granny

"Oh, hi",said an old granny, Her ashen face lit up with a wide smile, I greeted her back but with melancholy, As I was feeling low for quite a while. She instantly asked, "What's wrong, my child?" I was already downcast and told her the reason my day felt mild. I hesitantly enquired- "Why is life so damn tough, granny?" To which, she answered- "Life is beautiful but one might, at times, feel uncanny. Life is undoubtedly an adventurous ride, Some days you feel low, the other days, your face shines with pride. There's no secret to excelling at it, as you may ask. Just learn the lessons along the journey, with each coming task. The most significant lesson is to work hard and keep yourself on track, Because only your diligence and consistency will help you learn the hack. Teenage is tough but remind yourself what makes you unique, Whatever it may be, could be your humor or even your physique. You shall come across a number of people and they will all teach you something, Just go with the flow, remember it's your life and you surely are its King. One important aspect is to learn to deal with failures, Cuz, you, my dear should know they're not there to steal your laughters, Rather, treat them as an inevitable part of the journey, to teach you where you lacked, It could be possible that there were loopholes in your prep and hence you slacked. But whenever you fall or hit the rock bottom, Make sure to rise from the ashes although you might already feel numb. Winning or losing at your endeavours are a part and parcel of it, But when you start afresh and try again to reach greater heights is when you can say you fit. Even Darwin proposed the idea of survival of the fittest, Facing the ordeals of life and overcoming them will make an ordinary man the greatest. Learn to find little pleasures in whatever you do, Cuz one fine day, you'll realise how quick the days just flew. Being content and healthy is the greatest asset, Without good health, one faces a treacherous threat." "Thank you dear granny, I feel better already!", I said. Smiling at me, an astounding aura of positivity, she spread. I waved at her to wish her a goodbye, Hoping I could meet her again and her lessons I could comply.
