Best life lesson: 'Every good deed leads to God'

We'd asked you, dear readers to tell us what is the one life lesson you would want to share. 

This is what Nalini Kudalkar had to share.

I have many life lessons, but my thinking has been attached to a principle I learnt from a teacher when I was in the 8th or 9th standard.

Smt Sayyed was her name. She taught us science and mathematics.

Life took me through a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs.

Sometimes tragedies and happiness came together, and at times there was only tragedy and depression.

During our school send-off, before the 10th exams, we collected quotes from all our teachers. We hoped to remember these quotes for life.

As a parting shot, Smt Sayyed shared her philosophy 'every good deed leads to God' with the class.

I have always followed this thought and still follow it without any expectation from anyone.

In life, these words have helped me stay grounded.

Come what may, I always plan to follow it and be helpful to people including the worst of my enemies. The rest I shall leave to God.
