About this ebook
Life can be lived in any whichever way. We think, "I know" and act foolishly only to face misery and failure.
The theme is, "Living by Value Systems " The objective is Living with fewer failures.
There are several simple truth that we are unaware of. Most middle class homes in India, tell the young children had several generations of people living under one roof. The Grandma, tell the children several small stories and explain the moral in the story.
They become successful professionals, as they grow, because the story and the moral there are become their guiding principles in their life.
I tell my students, the graduate engineers, whom I trained for making them fit for employment, some of those stories.
I have picked some of those stories and made into two short story collections with title - My Dear Son - One., My Dear Son Two.
I have found that even grownup appreciate and benefit reading these books.

Electronics Engineer, tech trainer, author .A certain event in my early life changed my pursuit from normal material life everyone else and became a seeker. I was seen as a Mad guy as I went around trying to find a Man-of-knowledge. A great Spiritual master, Swamy Rama of Himalayan Institute was my first guru. He made me realize that there is none who can answer all my questions and that several Gurus will appear before me and educate me and vanish. It happened in all these years.For my own use I made notes and that I published as free e-books so that people who are in their spiritual journey benefit from my experience. I have written about Spiritual and Religious titles (Spirituality is not Religion) some in Tamil and others in English.AT some point the poor and poverty came into my attention. I learnt Economics , Politics, the way Human mind work and Education - they are all linked to Poor and Poverty.I never priced my writing. Because I believe that knowledge should not be sold.

Introduction
In the east, it is customary for a father to earn wealth as much as possible, lead a frugal living, and enrich their children’s future. Whether they need it or not, people earn and save wealth for the bright future of their generation next.
It is also believed that most valuable of the asset, typically the parents leave for their children, is the stories with which the children lead a good life.
I am presenting here some of the stories that I heard from my father along with a few other stories that I read. They may be relevant to the current times.
Most problems are because of our not being conscious of some basic truths. They are called, in short, knowledge. Men of knowledge explain that, all our problems can be traced to the fact that we live with our wrong knowledge.
Some of our serious problems could be traced to our society which is aping the west mindlessly. That too, selectively even the west does not cherish.
For generations, our grandmas brought- up and supplemented the education of the children with stories of valour, kindness and knowledge.
I am doing just that, so that you and people of your age derive immense benefit from the lesson received by us.
Note: It is possible that, you might have read or heard some of the stories. It is also possible you might have experienced some of the situations found in the stories or narrations.
The intention of writing this book is not meant for telling just some stories. For all that you might have heard or read some of the stories, from one of the several sources. The objective is to link these stories to certain themes, so that the themes gets into your mind and internalized. Any internalized knowledge will help you in appropriate life situations, through subconscious acts.

Knowledge - a key to good living.
(1) Learn from other’s experience:
Learning from one’s own experience is both painful and takes longer time. Learning from other’s experience increases the pace of learning. Read the history, short stories, news around the world. Absorb and abstract the knowledge relevant to you and your life situation. I am sure you will discover that it makes your life journey pleasant and enjoyable.
(2) Learn while you are young.
As one grows, the ability to absorb and retain the knowledge decreases. So read and absorb all good things while you are young and able.
You may read in this book a few themes. Each theme has a list of information under the caption, know this. These can be retained in your mind until these are absorbed into our subconscious mind.
Finally, one or more stories relevant to the theme are given. These stories would help remembering the theme. Stories form good message carriers.
I am planning to introduce you to some more themes with short stories, for your benefit, in a few more books I am writing.
They will be titled, My Dear Son, Book 2 and book 3 respectively.
I am sure you will spend some time reading them a few times over and benefit from it.
