All this will not be possible if certain basics are not being practiced by us throughout our lives, starting from your age or maybe less than that. As I said, I am going to tell you all these things with stories, with the help of stories. Stories from my own life. I generally like to pick up stories from my own life. Whatever stories I have written is from my own experiences. Life experiences. For me, there is nothing which can teach you better than life itself. Teachers are definitely very important in our life. At the same time, we need to also be learners from our own experiences. It is very important therefore that I share with you certain very interesting things which have happened with me and which perhaps ultimately have resulted in my coming here today. This becomes the end result of my life. Do we agree on this? This moment is actually the end result of all of my living and maybe all that has happened with me happened with me because I need to be here accepting this great honor. It all happened when I was 6 to 7 years. My old stories are going to be from 7 to 8 years to 15 years. Because that is the age group I think I am dealing with here. I was 8 years old. My father came back from his office. He was a big businessman. He called me one fine day and he told me, I used to be called Mishi. He said, Mishi come here and sit with me. I said, yes father, what is it? He says, tell me what all you have done from morning till now. I was surprised. He never asked me earlier. I don't know why he chose that particular day to start this activity. I made a list and I started telling him right from the morning what I have done. Then he asked me a very interesting question which I have been asking till today since that day. He said tell me what was right and what was wrong in it. What were the things you did right and what were the things you did wrong. Now at 8 years age you don't have a lot of understanding correct. So with my limited understanding I would tell him this is right and this was wrong. And he would correct me at certain places. No, this was not right. This is how it was not right. He gave me very strong rights and wrongs and he did this exercise with me for almost a couple of years and then left it to me to do it on my own every day and that is what I have been doing till today. Right leaving is what he taught me and I will tell you this exercise what other things he taught me as he realized when I was moving forward. Second thing which I want to tell you is it was my ninth birthday. I didn't know what kind of present surprise was coming in for me because my father used to be a person in fact a person who never did anything wrong ever including health habits. He did not even watch a movie ever. So he gave me surprise newspaper hawker through the paper inside. I was carrying a lot of paper counts to magazines Nanda and Champa people of my age in the memory. Surprise I said from where these have come and my father comes from inside and he says these are gifts for you. Today onwards you are going to start reading. He gifted me my reading habit. What will happen if I read? He said you are going to learn lot of things and it's not that. He said I am going to ask you every night what you have got today and you are related to me. That is what I was storytelling. I was telling him my story everyday and today I am storytelling. This is how life shapes up. Trust me for this. Personally I have never slept without reading from that day ever. Even in hospital. I was 15 days in hospital. Suffered from a mild heart attack and I was... Now how this helped me? I became a learner. That is what you need to become. Whatever visual achievement, whatever level you are. If you are not learning, then you are not living. That is what I believe in. Because unless you learn you don't grow. Right? You are growing but at a certain age maybe 24-25 you stop growing physically. And growth is a sign of living beings. Correct? If you are not growing you are not living. So after 22-23 if you are growing then where you need to grow? That is in your mind. So you need to become a learner and that is what you made me. And then I was sleeping, duty sleep. Suddenly for my bed sheet being pulled out like this. I was around 10 years. We had shifted to a new house next to the stadium as I told you. We were living next to the stadium. And he pulled the bed sheet and he told me time to 5.30 am. What is the time to wait? He said God damn this school is at 8.30 am. You get up at 7.30 am. What is this 5.30 am? No. You have to every day start going to stadium and you are going to run. Then you are going to get into some kind of sports activity. Then what will happen with that? You will learn self-discipline. He wanted me to be self-discipline. He said today I have open job tomorrow onwards. You are going to do it on your own. And I will keep going till you get into the habit. To get into the habit of sports. Now something very interesting happened. And when I was going every day to stadium I made new friends. And you know something you get fascinated with some friends at that age. In that particular your age group. You get focus on certain friends. And whatever day you want to do that. So I started with basketball. And suddenly I found my friend wanted to play cricket. And he put me to cricket. I started playing cricket. Won in a body cricket. Sub juniors. And suddenly a bad mental tournament happened. Mr. Prakash Pahuzan came. And we all got fascinated. And my friend said to him with cricket. बोग दुम्ले मुन्ले पूड्री. I had broken my fingers. I caught a dimple here. Thanks to that cricket level ball. We never played in tennis ball in Punjab. It was always a leather ball. So I started playing at Linden. Won a sub junior title. And suddenly one fine day a coach came. He said anybody knows TV. I said I know TV. He said how I have been playing on Dining table everyday. In the evening with my family. He said come let me see how do you play. When I played with him. Then he told me he said do you know one thing. You have wasted so many hours. Years. I said why? He said because this is the game that suits you. Your height, your quickness. The way you look at the ball so quickly. And act and pick it up. I can get you in the street in 6 months. But you have to be focused. My coach told me about focus. He said please no distractions. No more pursuing of what friends are going. What your friend is good at you may not be good at that. It's all natural talents. So don't follow your friends to be what you want to be. You be what you need to be. That is what my coach told me. That same focus on one thing till you achieve. And that went after TT and that played national at the age of 17. 3 years only. You know we need to be focused. We need not distract. At your age you are going to keep on shifting. You know you will give up things very quickly. You start monthing and you will give it up. You start second thing you will give it up. Don't do that. Stay focused. Work hard on monthing. And reach your great heights. Wherever you can reach. So we have talked about self discipline and focus. And to be a lover. Let me tell you something very interesting. What was happening between those rights and wrongs every day. My father was very subtly telling me that for doing what is right you need self discipline. To go forward you need to do the right thing you need self discipline. But at the same time to stop doing what is wrong you need self control. Now how I came to know about that that he had been very subtly you know pushing me towards exercising self control. We were in ninth and one fine day you know those some bullies in class they always are there and we have to face them. They announced before recess. One period before recess we all are going to bunk the class. What we feel we are going we are going to playground and there is a back between two these boys and we have had backs who will be the other person in 100 meter race. Now to have that back completed we have to bunk the class because in recess we will not get the place. I said it is wrong. If my father was paid for this class I am not paying I can't betray him. I am not coming. They said Ramesh the whole class will not talk to you. Nobody will talk to you. I said fine. What are you doing? I said fine. Don't talk to me. I am not coming. Everybody left. I was sitting alone in the class and teacher comes. She said beard is everybody else. I said they have gone to prom. Why did you not go? I said I didn't want to. And she did not like it. You know why? Because she had to stand out with me. There was a student in the class. Did I care? No I did not care because I was very much focused on doing the right thing. Now something very interesting happens. Nobody talks to me every day 15 days, 20 days, 25 days and 30th day any class and announcement was made that I was the clear captain of the district school team in Delhi. Within 6 months was 14 years old I started and within 6 months I have become captain of the school team of the district and that was announced in the class. Now what happened? My best friend who was in the pressure for not talking to me walks to me and congratulates me and then makes everybody else also to feel good about this that our class had a captain of the school team in Delhi. So everybody started talking to me and the self-control it was self-control with work I was not supposed to be going into wrong things. It is very important and where it helped me it helped me to stay away from any bad health habit till today. At the age of 58 I have won a TT tournament and every time you are beating a champion who had not lost for last 2 years. So you need to be self disciplined you need to be having focus and you need to have tremendous self control if you want to be a leader a debater, a public speaker of whatever you want to be without these 3 things you just cannot be and lastly, something very interesting happened with me again in 8th that was the time I think my foundation was being laid how I was to lead the life. I went to a new school madam will know got me into high school and there I made a very good friend after about 3 months of our friendship one fine day he tells me Saturday that we are leaving early why don't you come to my house in the evening and we will play so I ask him about what time you want me to be there he says about 2.30 he is half a 5 km and I had a bicycle to ride on for 5 I went home and suddenly he found my sister telling me the way we are not going for a movie are you coming I said I am sorry I am not coming she says why I said my friend has promised me I have made a promise to my friend that I am going to peace house I was outside his lane when he found him coming out of his bamboo along with his sister and suddenly a car comes in a reverse his dad is driving and they both open the door and they both sit inside the car and the car starts coming towards me and suddenly my friend looks at me and he says you are here car stops he made his father stop the car and he says you are here I am going for a movie with my father thank you I left the movie for my friend right and he left me in a very certain way God had given me a message which I have kept in total with me family first advantage very important to know family first and I don't know how many people how many of you have watched that beautiful movie in that little lesson we don't charge our parents parents first because actually it is their effort that is bringing us up here along with teachers along with you when parents send you to school they expect you to be coming out as very responsible students college youngsters right now school is given the responsibility of not saying you but then it is not possible for school alone it is not possible for parents alone because you are a product which need to cooperate with teachers as well as the parents to become responsible citizens so self discipline self control family first and your own effort towards self development stay away from bad habits to help your body to teach you to the things you want to live up to like I remember telling my father I would like to be living up to the age of 85 like my grandmother and he said what are you going to do to your body for that I said I will take care of it so please take care of your body mind your health to yourself thank you very much I am sure that you will become very responsible citizens
