My dad is an economist. He did anything and everything to make sure that his children didnt have to worry about money or go without anything that we needed. Its a trait of his that I loved. He always says ,"save some money for unforeseen situations, never spend your cash all at once my child. For life can be full of nasty surprises that might need money to solve". This pandemic has made me realize how important my Dads advice is. But the most important money lesson that I learned from my dad is that money doesnt have to control you. Even though you will never know when your last day is, you can still save and spend your money wisely, while also living the life you want. Too many people believe that they cant lead a good life on a budget. That is not true at all. You can still live a great life while managing your money, and without regret. I am glad he taught me to be money wise at a very early age.

My dad is the most magnificent and magical man in my life. He is, and always has been, my biggest supporter and most incredible source of inspiration. One thing I have learned from him is that life is not about how you fall, it's about how you get back up again. So don't break down when you meet failures. The failures actually give us some lessons. So get up and try to learn from them . Start fresh .Don't repeat your mistakes. If you repeat them, remember then you have not learnt your lesson well. To be able to reach success, we must first face failure and disappointment. Failure is a normal process in life, but that doesn't mean it's the end of everything. It's just a changing direction before it reaches to the ocean. It is a valuable lesson that I and my family live by. As much as life as thrown at us over the past few years and knocked us down we still manage to not give up and look forward to another day. After all there is always tomorrow and that tomorrow can only get better because it is the start of a brand new day and new opportunties.

I am thankful for the financial lessons I learned from my Dad . Without him, I would have been in a completely different situation than the one I'm in today. Luckily for me, my Dad started teaching me about finances at a young age. That helped me save and invest smartly throughout my teenage and adult years, and put me on a healthy financial track for life. Im forever grateful to him for his help. He made me understand two important lessons, that is hard work pays off and secondly money can work for you. My Dad taught me another valuable lesson that theres more to investing than just putting your money into a savings account. Looking back, its obvious that none of this would have been possible without the important lessons my Dad taught me while I was young. Instilling a strong understanding of the basics is one of the best ways my Dad ensured that I am financially healthy later in life. Rather than splurging money on electronic gadgets and fashionable wardrobe, my Dad preferred to take me on vacation. This idea of spending on experiences over things is something I abide by as an adult. He talked about a balanced budget and the importance of saving before he talked about marriage. He molded me into a woman who could support herself on her own. The lessons I learned throughout my childhood has helped me view money as a necessity rather than something for which I have to fear. He encouraged me to learn about money, to empower me to be the captain of my own ship, the author of my own story, and the controller of my own destiny. Im not even sure my Dad meant to teach me independence through money, but he did.

My father has taught me to have strong moral values, personal responsibility, honesty and trust. He has shown me how to be compassionate and to be a respectful person in life. He taught me the value of education, and how to make good decisions in life. While he showed me how to have fun and to laugh, he also has taught me the meaning of hard work, and the meaning of love. He did this by being a nurturing father, coach and firm disciplinarian, along with being a loving parent. My father has always been there to share with me moments of joy and times of hardship. He has generously given me his personal time, so that I may grow up to face this challenging world full of courage, hope and faith. My father is not perfect and like every human, he has his faults, struggles and weaknesses. He taught me, however, how to face these problems and challenges with a positive attitude and a strong will. The memories I have shared with my father will be everlasting and have a positive influence on my life like no other. The best advice that dad ever gave to me is that "People are like sheep. They don't stop to think about what they are doing. They just follow whatever everybody else is doing. Don't be like that. Think about what you are doing and follow your own path in life. You will definitely succeed. Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.

The thing that I have learnt from my dadSudhir Jadhavis how to remain calm and patient at any given situation. Patience is his virtue. He knows to wait for the moment to act . He listens, he analyses, he takes some time to know others viewsand tries to think from others perspective and then he acts. I admire him for this quality .....He always gives a chance to person n sticks to him by forgiving that person for a mistake he has done. He doesnt try to distance himself from that person. He has this incredible knack of forgiving people. I am still in the process of learning this art. .....He always made me apologize when I didnt want to and taught me humility. He forgave my biggest blunders and taught me forgiveness. He taught me how to live without fear and to give without expectation

A father solves our jigsaw life puzzle by guiding the light whose love shows us the way. He is neither an anchor to hold us back on where we are leading nor a sail to take us there. No one can deny the fact that there was only one person-your father who encountered the most difficult situations by himself in order to protect the family. My friend, philosopher and guide taught me wonderful life lessons:
Believe in yourself,
No matter how hard it may seem.
Dont give up,
Know the starting point with hope till end,
Do good, and forget it
Live a humble and simple life, no show-offs,
Always speak kind words
As unkind people are everywhere,
Life is precious, stop complaining
Visit hospitals often and offer help to them,
Stop holding to grudges, let go and move on
Nothing is impossible if you are determined.

Dad you were my guide, you were my teacher, you were my world, you were everything to me. My father was my greatest mentor. He was a gem. I think I have not seen another person like him. He was a man with great knowledge , patience and will power. I had never seen him curse or talk ill about anyone. He taught me many things. The things he taught are like great preachings. Whatever I learnt from him are of great use even today. He used to talk a lot about savings. He said that we should always save at least 25 percent of what we earn. We should always be on the giving end and not at the receiving end. He used to say that we should be very careful while lending money to anyone. If someone asks for 100/- we should lend 25 /- and forget about it because we will be on the safer side even if that person won't return the money. If we spoke about some negative person he used to say that negative people are like tamarind who become sour day by day so we have to always keep them aside like pickle on the food plate. To conclude..oh no I cannot conclude because any alphabet from A-Z can't define my love for him. So hatsoff to you dad.

From taking me to first day in school carrying me in his arms, helping me to ride n learn bicycle for the first time holding me and the cycle both at the same time, rewarding me chocolate when I received gold medal for the first time in my studies, taking me to my office on my first day to the office, I cherish all those first days of my life which were made special by my father by accompanying me on those special days and making me an independent person....and the best thing I LOVE about my DAD is his never-dieing attitude. For me my dad is my SuperHero of this world because he is very supportive, caring, selfless, lovable, patient and above all a nice person. He has been a constant source of inspiration for me all through my life. He is pillar of all the strength in world for me. Just like a lion, he protects me and his daredevil attitude motivates me to be strong and bold to survive in this world. Just by the expressions on my face, he knows whats going on my mind. I never needed to tell him about things I needed, he, by default knows what and when I need and he always provides me with what ever is needed. At times, he becomes a teacher for me, he guides me when ever I need to make a decision, when ever I am in some problem he patiently listens me and tells me how can I find solution to the problem, he used to carry me in his arms to my school when I was in nursery, at times while watching movie, I feel something to eat, then he became chef for me and most importantly he inspires me. What ever happens, he would always say one thing "Try, try, and try till you succeed. One should never ever lose hope." I have faced lots of rejections and difficulties in my life but, this saying of my father has always been a driving force for me, because of which I believe that I can do it and I do not lose hope and I keep on trying till the time I accomplish what ever need be. Even though he knew my weakness he had the fortidue to tell me to face my shortcomings and weaknesses like a true solider and fight with life... At one point of time, I thought I can never succeed in life and went into depression then, mere Daddy ne mujhe samjhaya ki jaise ek choti si chiti(ant) diwaar par chadti hai phir gir jaati hai, phir woh chadti hai, phir gir jaati hai, phir woh chadati aur phir woh chadna shuru karti hai toh chadti hi jaati hai, ussi tarah se, hame bhi koshish karte rehna chahiye, jab tak hame apni manzil, goal na mil jaaye. Daady ki is guidance ki Try, try, and try till you succeed and one should never ever lose hope not only changed my thinking but also made me an independent and positive thinking person. He has been a constant source of motivation and inspiration for me and he has always told me to hope for the best..even if something has gone wrong or something bad happen, he always tells me that don't lose hope....always hope for the best and things will be better in no time..He taught me lessons of life fair and square...and to express my gratitude to the SuperHero of my life, i surprised him by cooking his fav meal dal chawal with bharwan karele and he loved it and i also made a hand made fathers day card 4 him expressing my gratitude towards him for being my superhero, my father and wrote a little poem for my father to express my gratitude Oh My Dear Dad, U R My Hero, Following your footsteps, my tensions gets zero!

The heart of a child is beautifully designed to respond to a father's love. Yes, that's a father who can burn himself like an incense stick to offer holy smell in form of a priceless child to the lord of society and nation. My father is someone whose emotional stubbornness to convert desires into actions proves his love for me. He made me learn how to sacrifice own wishes to see smile in the ward's face! His teachings is based on "Love & Friendship" between daughter and father. His values and prayers for me helps to thrive of the thoughts about feminism in society and stand against them as a warrior which made the afford in me to be a "Confident Independent Woman".

Never lose your cool. A calm disposition helps avoid arguments and see things objectively. Save more than you earn. Spend only on things you need instead of every shiny new gadget or accessories. Be wise in your spending. Spending more than you earn is not worth the stress. Living within your means is more important. It is better to live a modest life with essentials than a very indulgent one. Spend only on the things you need. Always try to find happiness in the little things in life. Experiences over possessions. It is better to spend on experiences than materialistic possessions. Work hard. Make your own luck. Consistency is better than peaks of success. A consistent performer with moderate performance is more likely to be rewarded than someone who performs only in peaks but doesnt generally do so. Respect everyone. From the janitor to the guy who comes home to wash your car(Im from India. I have heard this is not a luxury in the west.) to the vegetable seller on the street. Everyone deserves respect

Hello everyone. Father is a best creation of God.
No one ever can take father's place. My father has been an inspiration for me always.
Whenever I'm in situations where its difficult for me to take decisions I always think of my father ,what would he do if he has to take decision and do that.
That is another thing he is no more with us,but he is always with us in our hearts ,in our acts ,in our habits ,in everything that's inherited in us from him. We are the fruits of his Beautiful Garden.The sweetness he instilled in us is priceless.
The lessons what I learnt from him is
BEING AMBITIOUS.
NEVER EVER GIVE UP.
FOCUS AND WORK ON YOUR DREAMS AND ONE DAY WE WILL WALK ON THE PATH OF SUCCESS.
KEEP SMILING.
BEING POLITE.
GOOD DEEDS PAYS BACK.
HAVE STRONG FAITH IN GOD AND GOD NEVER LETS U DOWN.
well the lessons are innumerable to list out .
The life spent with FATHER is the GOLDEN ERA Of our life I feel.priceless.

My dad is a doctor. He practices in a small town in West Bengal, for past 42 years.
He started his education at Adra Railway Primary School and the continued in Presidency College and completed at NRS Medical College Kolkata. He always appreciates education and educated people.

Things I learnt from him can't be counted.
Be honest in your profession, modest in your behavior and have faith in God. She is the almighty. If you are empowered with her blessings there is no power in the world to defeat you. "A theosophist always wins" ...as my father always says. If you ask him why,,, he adds " I don't know but have felt it many times while in my professional chair".

It is better to try to be of one than to be Jack of all trades. A peacock looks beautiful when it dances but it can't sing. A cuckoo is dark but has a golden voice. That is why a cuckoo should never dance and a peacock should not try to sing. My friend life is short, the art long. I regard my parents and teachers as my "Gods".

Thank you Bapi for being my first teacher. Stay blessed and healthy! Keep doing your job! We are always with you! Love you to the moon and back!

Best wishes,
Sayantani

My father was a inspector police. He started from lower ranks and went onto be reasonable. He was non smoker and once in a while drinker. He loved my mother like anything. Whenever she fell ill, he was the most worried person even more that the patient that is my mother. The same way he loved all his three kids. He never differentiated between one and other. Sometimes my mother use to fall ill and now issue is who will go to kitchen. He will always vollentered to go to kitchen and make food for whole of the family. Once my elder two brothers had exams going on and that day my father was not well. And suddenly the electrcity of our house went off and it was winter nights, raining heavily. Now issue was who will file complaint with the electrcity board. As I was small so I was ruled out. Now eldest two were busy with their exams so they were also ruled out. My father being not well himself took umbrella and torch, went to the electrcity board office and filed complaint. Therefore the precious time of everyone could be saved and they could prepare for exams. So it shows your duty towards your family and kids. He was also very economical in nature. He always lived with in his means. I still remember when we grew up we didn't have the watches. So my father said now kids are grown up they must learn time management. He himself went to the HMT showroom and bought three HMT watches for all the three of us. When we asked dad what about you. He politely refused. He himself continued with old Titus watch and told you see, my watch is ok. This shows your money should be there where your priorities are. He was very sincere and honest. He never had single red entry in his entire police carrier of 38yrs. Although he was always without any Godfather. He was very punctual in his office work. He always reached his office before official time and last one to live. He always kept his table clean means no pending work. He died at the age 91yrs. His fitness was so high class that he use to do his every routine work comfortably at even last stages of his life.

I remember before before marriage how you taught me to never succumb to something to which you are not sure of. You brought me up the way that I never had to compromise with my dignity. Till date from professional to personal reasons I never let you down by compromising for the wrong reasons. Your words always echoes in my mind when you used to say ,"beta hum Choubey hai jhuktey nhi hai. Galat k aage to kabhi nhi jhukana."
Thank you for infusing the brave thoughts especially in your daughter child. I feel proud to have a great father like you who treated us equal to our brothers and made us the way where we can live our life holding our head high.
