MOTHER KNOWS BEST
We ask our Members to share the best lessons their mothers taught them
Toni Gregory I came across a book with the title “My Mother, Myself.” This gave me a serious look at what I learned from my Mama Aurelia. I was the eldest daughter in a family of 10 siblings.Growing up, I observed her extraordinary skill in managing time. She planned our daily meals, posted on our fridge door, set aside payments for utilities, our school allowances, supervised the household like a well-oiled machine. I mastered her legacy of time management. During my work and family life, I always maximized available time to be productive. There are so many lessons learned from my Mama but I would need a whole book to fill pages and pages of lifetime lessons my siblings and I pass on to our next generation. 17
Kunal Chadha I think the best thing that my mother taught me was perseverance, to keep going regardless of how difficult the situation might be. She also taught me to be practical and to balance my actions with the head and the heart. I think these lessons are life lessons that help me manage my day to day life in a better way. On a lighter note, she also taught me the saying “a place for everything and everything in its place” and made me live it! I think this was her smart way of ensuring that I kept my room neat and tidy at all times!
