Chattering of my mind

M ost of us claim to want to be rich, but in reality, we don’t. We merely desire money to spend on our desires and fulfil our wants, only to lose it again. Essentially, we want to appear and feel wealthy rather than actually be rich. Being money-rich means having a substantial amount of money available without the need to spend it. How can one become wealthy if they continue earning and spending the same amount, resulting in a zero bank balance? If asked what they would do with a one-crore rupee, people would list their desired purchases, such as a car, a flat, a mobile phone, and jewellery. However, no one would say they would do nothing with the money because they don’t need to spend it. In contrast, the second type of person would be one-crore rupee richer than the first because the first person has already spent all their money on their desired purchases, leaving their bank balance at zero. Nevertheless, the second person still has one-crore rupee. Now, if the person who s...

  Sooner  or later, you will quit your job.  If you are a person like me, who gets bored by doing similar things, changes the interest frequently, doesn’t have the correct skill set your job requires, or does not get paid enough for what you are doing, you will quit.

You end up getting frustrated and will quit the job, or get fired.  3. old  job + new  skill = old money +  boredom explanation: - Now you have upgrad...

Now, I’m fully convinced that “Nothing is permanent,” not even the people or interests of people. I don’t know about others, so I shouldn’t generalize, but this is what I’ve realized about myself. Everything I thought I was interested in or loved to do is no longer true. Passion: When I was in school, I was fascinated by electronic gadgets. I loved opening them up to see how they worked and tried to fix the non-working ones, or at least figure out what was wrong. Desire: When I reached college, I became more interested in making money. I hated asking my parents for money because I thought they didn’t have enough. So, I combined my love of electronic gadgets with my desire to make money and learned mobile phone repairing. I started working in that field and, yes, I made good money for a while, about four or five years. Respect: Slowly, I started to hate the idea of being a mobile repairer or a mobile mechanic for the rest of my life. I began to think of a white-collar job where I wou...
