HOW ONE WOULD VALUE THE LIFE STYLE DISCIPLINE: PRESENTING A REAL LIFE CASE (FOR THE BENEFIT OF MY READERS)
HOW ONE WOULD VALUE THE LIFE STYLE DISCIPLINE: PRESENTING A REAL LIFE CASE ( FOR THE BENEFIT OF MY READERS )
What I am presenting
here is a real life case, observations are real and first hand, not
hypothetical; and it would give some insight as to how would one value the life
style for own benefit.
Recently we reviewed
with some friends of mine who were batchmates of mine during a graduation
course in a technical university from 1979-1983/84 ( the course was 4years from
1979-83 however got spread to first part of 1984 under some exceptional circumstances
of the University ); regarding the present situation of of the batch
considering the fact that almost everyone has reached the age level of close to
60 with small plus or minus.
Normally whoever passed
out of this technical course, to start with, would either get absorbed in a
State Govt Dept as an Officer of Class-II group, or in a Central Govt Dept, a
Bank Officer or similar levels else where (as has been the experience in
contemporary times) or they could go to a higher start depending on the career
route they could take, hence, the candidate would be reasonably placed and
would not have to go through economic hardship ordinarily. The intake to the
course at the times of admission in 1979 was through an admission system of the
State, something like a combination of Entrance Test having 55% weightage and
rest 45% weightage given to pre-graduation studies existing at that time, such
as Intermediate Science Examination Score (2years, like the +2 of present day)
given 25% weightage and Secondary School Score (11years then, like 10th
Secondary of today) given 20% weightage. Hence the intelligence/academic
strength levels of the batch was well levelled among the batchmates. The
passing Batch Size was 140 approximately.
What we have found out
just last week is the following :
Out of 140 batch size,
16 of the batchmates have left the world within the age of 60 as I said above,
that is a large, more than 11%, very sad situation due to such an early age
departures.
We further, got into
analyzing the reasons by which the 16-batchmates left the world and found out
the following :
3-Batchmates were lost
by Accidents/Accidental Happenings.
1-Batchmate passed away
by Suicide due to his Personal(Social) Reason.
1-Batchmate passed away
by Suicide not being able to tolerate the illness.
9-Batchmates passed
away by Illness that can be reasonably assigned to life styles.
2-Batchmates passed
away due to Covid-19 during last 6-7 months approximately.
We reached some kind of
conclusion and shared among our batchmates of the above batch that except the
first 4-batchmates lost (as mentioned above), the rest 12-batch mates (adding :
1-not being able to tolerate illness and killing himself, 9-passing away out of
illness and 2-by Covid-19) could have survived and crossed over the present age
to better longevity of life, if they could have looked at their lifestyles and
attended to it appropriately.
In fact, the surviving
batchmates, almost everyone felt for the last 2-batchmates who were lost to
Covid-19, because they were the ones among the strongest and very healthy guys
among the batch of 140. However, those two were also among the dare devils,
careless and obstinate types as far as their life styles were concerned. Other
10-batchmates who passed away early mostly due to illness some way or other,
could have survived if they could have handled their lifestyles timely and
well.
We felt 60+/- is no age
to leave the world, the world is very sweet and beautiful, the best could be to
live longer and enjoy it.
Therefore, better to
attend to one's own lifestyle, change it and correct it to remain fit and
healthy to live longer.
One does not need lot
of money or in fact one does not need money to have a healthy life style, it
requires a bit of conviction of mind and following it by a matter of discipline
during the life time. One does not need big powers or positions either, to have
a lifestyle that could be better for health and fitness or to enjoy better
longevity of life.
If you can not do
anything other else, at least include 30-mins to 40-mins to 45-mins as you can,
walking once during the day, if you can do that twice, you will do the great
and it will cost you nothing. It is the most simple, but will contribute very
significantly and powerfully to your life style and longevity of life. That
will also give you signals and locations of your weak points also, to treat and
remain fit to live reasonably healthy and longer.
