Life’s challenges come like the plays on goal in a soccer game
Live in the moment, face them with courage and no fear
Let yourself in with the best effort you can, sparing none
Like the lightening, holding nothing back strikes with all its might.
Today’s losers will be tomorrow’s winners
Learn to be humble in your victorious hour
Learn to be resilient at the hour of defeat
Roger’s game at lawn courts of Wimbledon
Wonderful it was even if Federer couldn’t win.
Victorious is the one who has not given into a defeat.
Difficult it was to address our team today
People being laid off due to a merger at work
Silence never felt so heavy nor words never felt so stale
Sorry to see lives running into a storm straight in
Looking in to their eyes, I look away
Feeling their worry by just passing by
Counter on wall remainder of inevitability
I realized pain of others is most difficult to bear
Events of this kind may be happening everywhere
Lives disrupted due to actions and events out of control
Character is the only help, build it strong and resilient
Have friends and family to lean on at times of need.
To be a father does not come easy to anyone
‘Father of a nation’ failed to be a father to his own
Having to play a role that is outside our skin
From partying young men, we become fathers when baby comes.

Reason over Discipline
Honesty over Hypocrisy
Consistency over Contradiction
Coaching over Condemnation

We don’t want them to be just like us
We want them to be the best they can
Each generation is a bit better than the one before
Most father’s do their part to ensure this progress.

Desire is the one to creates emotions
Emotion is sustained feeling over a length of time
Beware we are victims of will
Feelings of great and small come and go
Arrange and analyze benifits and hurt
Courage can subside the bad and enhance the good.
Angry, sad, happy and such – feelings human
They grow too much – uncontrolled unchecked
Our own mind only can manage and control
Blessed are the ones who knows this good.
Feelings makes a person human
Saints among us managed them well
Uncontrolled feelings are waves in typhoon
No safe harbor in that hurricane.
Happy I am that what I say
Writing poems spending time
Being simple and becoming content
Praying God for piece of mind.
How am I, how would I know
Only others can see me well
I am blind to my own faults
Share with me what I should know.
What I think of myself does not count
All that matters is what other people say
Answer to this question I can’t give
Ask my friends for a real update for that.
