I got an opportunity to notice this picture today and still laughing about the message. Look at those expressions on all faces.
Very True! Especially for persons like me this one makes a very good sense.
On many occasions some of my well-wishers have asked me why I am showing utter disinterest to make smart investments through shares , mutual funds etc when I have a real and adequate ability to crack it easily so as to gain multitude of returns back. They used to fire at me asking what am I doing with all my money that I am earning. I reply that I spend them for my use. Rest I give my parents. And of course I am sensible enough and make a (reasonable) savings and investments for a better future.
Next question from them will be “What investments?” On Such questions though when I won’t have an immediate answer, I tell them…’mm…LIC, NSS etc’. Then immediately I get a reply of 1000s of advices “Why not this? Why not that? That will give a 10 times return. This will give 100 times return”… But I only end up giving an answer “Podaaaaang…Dae…Don’t pester me da machi…I will take care”. Pch!! Enuf! The reason being I don’t ‘desperately’ need money returns.
Of course Money investments are wise plans to make our future better. But don’t know why I am not developing an interest to plan out strategies to make Money investments as a ‘race’ – like ‘Who wins by getting huge returns in X number of years?’ If it is a race, then sorry! I am not into that game. For me there are only two kinds of people in terms of this. First – those who achieve what they want. And the second – those who enjoy/ utilize what they got / get. I wish to enjoy/ utilize with what I got / getting. But I see most people not doing the second part. Because they are in the ‘race’. For me wise are those who do the second part also. Just breaking our head on achieving what we need is not a complete one.
If the meaning conveyed above is vague – Consider this example. You want to ‘desperately’ buy a TV for some reason. But thinking like waiting till Diwali will give us a 50 % discount + gift – is not a right decision for me. One can relate it with a famous quote “The best time to buy something is when you are in need of it”. By the time you look for an ‘optimized & efficient’ time to buy something your DESIRE on buying the thing would have gone stale. It’s all there whether you want to ‘buy’ a TV or ‘desperately buy’ a TV.
To make it simple I DO think of making investments. But not in terms of ‘desperate’ money. They are of different type. It might give huge returns back in future or it might not give. That I know very well and ready to face the consequences. Because After all, it’s my decision
