Valuable speeches

Like many senior citizens, I like listening to lectures by eminent speakers who are also good people. One such is Dr Gururaj Karjagi. This evening as I was listening to one his valuable lectures on Utube (Thanks to Sundar Pitchai and his team ay Google), he said, "The footpaths of values are identified in hindsight". A very thought provoking statement.

(His lecture reminded me of something which happened when I was a 32 years old youngster about to get married. My mother told me that they were looking for an appropriate woman for me to get married and that who ever comes as my wife, I should see positive aspects and not the negative ones, so that my married life would be happy and whereby my parents could lead a tension free life that is associated with bad marriages of children). 

I was being introduced to great speakers like Dr Karjagi, as I used to watch my late beloved parents, especially my beloved mother, listening to them.
