11 Things I Learned at 28!

28 Years Old!

Oh God!! Old? Young? In between? That definitely is a big number though! What is it about 28 that really shocked me? It is that two steps to the BIG 30! I would be done with my 20s so soon. 

But then when I look back, it has been quite a journey. So many lessons, failures and successes. 

Below are the 11 things I learned at 28:

1. Choices - Life is all about the choices that we make. 
2. Books - If there is one friend that will always be by your side, it is your favorite book. And the best part is there are so many of them.
3. Friends - I have seen strangers turning into friends to best friends to Facebook friends to becoming strangers again. If you want a friend for life, BE a friend for life.
4. Love - More than emotions, it needs dedication. 
5. Work - Like my father always tells me 'A busy life is an easy life'.
6. Hobby - Everyone should have at least one. Routine is for machines.
7. Travel - Travel to unwind. Travel to learn. Travel to explore. Got to do more of this from now on.
8. Trust - Relationships have two problems - No trust or too much trust. Be realistic. Trust wisely not blindly.
9. Health - Mostly taken for granted. It's time to make a change.
10. Education/Learning - Should be never ending. The day you stop learning, you stop growing. 
11. Family - Most important. With you till the end and beyond.

Happy 28 to me!
