Dear all, Good Day!
1. 1. Not to get inflated.
2 2. Call a spade a spade.
3 3. Do not argue when people expect me
to argue
4 4. Don’t react/ respond even when they
know that I know they are lying.
5 5. Snobbery of my type which is quite inexpensive.
6. Against Abraham Lincoln's target to be humbler than the humblest.
6 7. People Seek money, power, and fame as much, which I don't do.
7 8. I stand out and away from the crowd.
8 9. I opine different, whenever possible and I don't care a heck.
10. Unexpected response/ reaction from
my side.
11. Ability to differentiate between respect and fear.
12. Maybe my English is also not Indian English?
1 13. I give a lot of importance to the names of people/places/things.
14. Belief in God and as a sailor try to follow the IMMTS Dufferin anthem and promise Vis, Anthem;
" We are on the road, we are on the road to anywhere,
With never a heartache, with never a care,
Got no home, got no friends,
Thankful for everything the good Lord sends,
We are on the road, we are on the road to anywhere,
And every milestone seems to say,
That the road to anywhere, the road to anywhere,
Will lead to somewhere someday"
Promise;
"On my honour, I promise that,
I will do my best,
To do my duty to God and my country;
To help other people at all times,
To place my ship before my top,
And the top before myself "
Both, extract from " Lest I Forget" an autobiography by Respected Kwaja Sayeed Shahabuddin. By the way, I came to know about these in words a few months back and all along I was totally unaware of their existence.
All points need elaboration and shall be done in a phased-out manner.
Thanks and best regards,
