I would like to talk about a piece of advice I recently received from my father. The advice was that I should be more punctual and organized in my daily routine. To be honest, I am not a very organized person. I often get up late in the morning, go to the bed quite late at night and don’t really follow a proper schedule. Sometimes I have even my meal or take a shower at irregular times. Last week my father came to my room and told me that he wanted to have a serious conversation with me. He sat beside me and explained me that he had been observing my routine for the past few months. He was quite disappointed because he felt that my lifestyle was becoming unhealthy and unorganized. My lifestyle, he advised me to change my habits, create a proper daily routine and most important, stick on it. He also told me that if I continued living that way, it could be difficult for me to achieve my future goals. His words really made me realize that I was not managing my time properly and that I needed to make some changes. Since then I have started following a more structured routine. I try to wake up and go to the beds on time according to a schedule and management daily activities more efficiently. As a result I feel more productive and comfortable than I did before. So although it was a simple advice, I think it was important for me because it made me realize that being banjo and this plane can have a major impact on my future.
