Grandpa Milan, grandson Tristan / John (6 years old) and grandson Cash / David (10 years old) are watching a children’s film on Sunday, November 13, 2021. If I knew that today at my age it is more fun to be with grandchildren than with my children, then I should have had grandchildren before my children. Yesterday was Cash / David’s tenth (10th) birthday. My dear grandson Cash / David your grandfather “Babu” wishes you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
The title is:
“What advice would you give to your grandchildren?”
My dear grandchildren, this is one question that carries the life experience of every man, including me, your grandfather “Babu” Mile Boban. I will try to give you some advice from my personal life. I heard this advice from my father Petar Boban (1907-1981). My father Peter was a self-taught man but very smart. I will cite a few pieces of advice he gave me while doing physical work with him in the field and explain their meaning. These have guided me through my life.
1 – Son, never quarrel because no quarrel has a winner. Everyone defends their position …
2 – Son, never fight, because it’s not good. You have a tongue and you defend yourself with it. And if someone attacks you, you have the right to defend yourself. In that fight that you didn’t provoke, I’d rather see you in prison than in the hospital.
3 – Son, the sweet mouth opens the iron door, which means: if you talk nicely to people, they will listen to you and satisfy your wishes, and even the prison guard would open the prison iron gate for you so that you can go out freely.
4 – Son, it is not the one who has factories and money who is rich, but the one who has children is rich.
5 – Son, day by day you grow, develop and by natural process the time will come when you will stare at a girl, and the face sells every woman. These are natural rules.
6 – Son, when you decide to choose a girl you like for your wife, then there is no more: when you marry her,it is to the grave not to leave her when you are tired of her. That means: There is no divorce. That was the advice of a man, Petar Boban, Gabrić who had fifteen (15) children to his son Milan.
7 – Son, smart people always write down what they have to do so that they don’t forget, while stupid people try to remember so they don’t write anything down and so they forget everything. So always try to record your memories, not so much for you, because you went through them, but for future generations so that she or he would not call you lazy.
8 – Son, it is not always all white that is white, nor is it always all black that is black. This, in short, means that all truths are not “truths”, nor that all lies are “lies”. In other words: every story has two beginnings and two ends, which means two mirrors.
9 – Son, there is an old Croatian saying that says: What the deaf man does not hear, he invents. This means that this man wants to be part of society, part of the topic, part of the conversation and then he will say anything just to be heard. That’s not good. A man must always know what he is saying and not talk nonsense.
10 – Son, never forget that God created us and that we belong to Him. And that is why we always pray to Him and always thank Him.
Here are my dear grandchildren, a few pieces of advice that my father Petar gave me and that I followed in my life.Those advices with old virtues have been a guide for people in their lives, just as people use modern technology today, but advices always have their virtues and it is from these life virtues, whether you like it or not, that today’s techniques came from.
My dear grandchildren, your grandfather “Babu” Mile will give you some tips that I have used in my life, and it is my honest opinion that it has benefited me a lot and helped me that I am very happy today with my life and my family.
1 – From the moment you get up in the morning until the moment you go to sleep, you belong to the rules of the law, and those laws must be obeyed!
2 – Respect your parents and always be kind to them!
3- When you get up in the morning, pray to God and thank Him that you are alive and that you have gotten out of bed healthy!
4 – When you go to bed, pray to God for watching over you that day!
5 – God! is unseen but exists, just as air is not seen but exists!
6 – As we cannot live without air, so we cannot live without God!
7 – The more we believe in God, the more our hopes are realized!
8 – Don’t let your old age ask you: where was your youth!
9 – It is not beautiful what is beautiful, but it is beautiful what the heart pleases!
10 – Do not be a judge to anyone, because God is a judge of all of us!
My dear grandchildren, may these ten points of my counsel be to you as the Ten Commandments of God!
Now I am transcribing to you something that your mother, my daughter-in-law Robin, gave me for all of you.

Naslov je:
“koje bi savjete dao tvojim unucima?”
Dragi moji unuci to je jedno pitanje koje u sebi nosi životno iskustvo svakog čovjeka, pa tako i mene, vašeg djeda “Babu” Mile Boban. Ja ću nastojati vama dati nekoliko savjeta iz mojeg osobnog života. Te savjete sam čuo od mojeg oca Petra Boban (1907-1981). Moj otac Petar je bio samouk čovjek ali vrlo pametan. Ja ću navesti nekoliko savjeta koje je on meni pričao dok sam radio s njim fizičke poslove na polju i objasniti njihovo značenje. Ti savjeti su me vodili kroz moj život.
1 – Sinko, nikad se nemoj svađati jer nijedna svađa nema pobjednika. Svaki brani svoj stav…
2 – Sinko nemoj se nikada tući, jer to nije dobro. Imaš jezik i s njim se brani. A ako te netko napadne ti se moraš braniti. U toj tuči koju nisi ti izazvao ja te radije vidjeti u zatvoru nego u bolnici.
3 – Sinko, medena usta željezna vrata otvaraju, što znači: ako lijepo s ljudima pričaš, oni će te saslušati i udovoljiti tvojim željama, pa čak i stražar zatvora bi za tebe otvorio zatvorsku željeznu kapiju da slobodno možeš izići.
4 – Sinko, nije bogat onaj tko ima tvornice i novca, nego onaj tko ima djece.
5 – Sinko, iz dana u dan ti rasteš, razvijaš se i prirodnim procesom vrijeme će doći da ćeš se zagledati u djevojku, a lice svaku ženu prodaje. To su prirodna pravila.
6 – Sinko, kada se ti odlučiš uzeti djevojku koja ti se sviđa za svoju ženu, onda nema više: Uprti pa kada se umoriš baci, nego uprti (shoulder) pa nosi do smrti. To znači: Nema rastave braka. To je bio savjet čovjeka meni, Petra Boban, Gabrić koji je imao petnaestero (15) djece svojem sinu Milanu.
7 – Sinko, pametni ljudi uvijek zapišu šta rade da ne zaborave, dok glupani nastoje zapamtiti pa ništa ne zapišu i tako sve zaborave. Zato nastoj uvijek zabilježiti tvoje uspomene, ne toliko za tebe, jer si ti kroz njih prošao, nego za nadolazeće naraštaje kako te ona ne bi prozvala lijenčinom.
8 – Sinko, nije uvijek sve bijelo što je bijelo, niti uvijek sve crno što je crno. To ukratko znači: da sve istine nisu “istine”, niti da su sve laži “laži”. Drugim riječima: svaka priča ima dva početka i dva kraja, što znači dva ogledala.
9 – Sinko, ima jedna hrvatska stara izreka koja kaže: Što gluh ne čuje, on to izmisli. To znači da taj čovjek želi biti dio društva, dio teme, dio razgovora i onda će reći bilo što samo da ga se čuje. To nije dobro. Čovjek uvijek mora znato što govori a ne neke gluposti govoriti.
10 – Sinko, nikad nemoj zaboraviti da nas je Bog stvorio i da mi Njemu pripadamo. I zato uvijek mu se pomolimo i uvijek mu se zahvalimo.
Eto dragi moji unuci nekoliko savjeta koje je meni moj otac Petar davao i kojih sam se ja u mojem životu pridržavao. Ti savjeti sa starim vrlinama su ljudima bili putokaz u njihovu životu, isto kao što se sa današnjom modernom tehnikom ljudi služe, ali savjeti uvijek imaju svoje vrline i baš iz tih životnih vrlina, hoćeš-nećeš proizašle su današnje tehnike.
Dragi moji unuci vaš djed “Babu” Mile će vam dati neke savjete kojim sam se ja koristio u mojem životu, i moje je iskreno mišljenje da mi je to mnogo koristili i pomoglo da sam danas jako zadovoljan s mojim životom i mojom obitelji.
1 – Od momenta kada se ustanete ujutro pa do momenta kada iđete spavati, vi pripadate pravilima zakona, a ti zakoni se moraju poštivati!
2 – Poštivajte svoje roditelje i budi uvijek ljubezan s njima!
3 – Kad se ustanete ujutro, pomolite se Bogu i zahvalite Mu se da ste živi i da ste se zdravi digli iz kreveta!
4 – Kada iđete u krevet pomolite se Bogu što vas je čuvao taj dan!
5 – Bog! je neviđen ali postoji, isto kao što i zrak je neviđen ali postoji!
6 – Kako mi ne možemo živjeti bez zraka, isto tako mi ne možemo živjeti bez Boga!
7 – Što god više vjerujemo u Boga tim više naše nade su ostvarljive!
8 – Nemoj dozvoliti da vaša starost vas pita: gdje vam je vaša mladost bila!?
9 – Nije lijepo što je lijepo, nego je lijepo što se srcu sviđa!
10 – Nemojte biti sudac nikome, jer je Bog sudac svima nama!
Dragi moji unuci neka ovih deset točaka mojih savjeta vama budu kao deset Božjih Zapovijedi!
Sada vam prepisivam nešto što mi je vaša mama, moja nevjesta Robin dala za sve vas.
