When I think about the person who influenced my life the most, the first person that comes to my mind is - my Dad.
My Dad is a tall, cool, independent, hardworking and a very practical man; ready to accept change and alter state of mind according to any situation. He loves me a lot as every father and always remains strong by not showing his emotions.
He is full of fun, light hearted and always looking at the positive things in life. He is not only a father to guide between the good and bad but also a good friend, a companion and above all my inspiration. I love to play a good game of Billiards with him whenever we go to the Club.
Whenever he leaves for his job, he says - “Do not go after marks, excel in whatever you are doing and the result will always be the best. Work hard and when I come back we will have fun.” This has had a great impact on me. So when he is away — these words keep me going - all through the days; and I along with my family wait for his return.
Family is the first priority to him and he pleasures every moment with us. He is full of fun and jokes when he is around. I have lots of friends but I am much happier and relaxed when he is around. Whenever I speak to him on the phone I get mental strength and motivation. He always guides me through any situation, as he is a strong man-mentally and physically. He believes in practicing yoga and so do I, as I practice moments of solitude before the pressures of the day begin.
My Dad always says — “Hope for the best, but plan for the worst”. This way one will not be afraid of anything, because your mind is already prepared for the worst, and you know how to handle the situation. He prepares me mentally to face any situation and also helps me maintain my body physique.
He works hard to manage people from different countries and sail high seas. Although it is a difficult job, I have seen him manage things in a relaxed way and to heights of perfection.
