its all about...

Its all about money, honey. Just one line but it conveys so much. I have, in the short span of my life, have seen many upheavals. The root cause of many feuds. Money is a necessary evil.

I asked my friend what would she ascribe as the most valuable qualities in her life partner. Before I could finish she listed a handful of attributes in a jiffy (girls are so clear of what exactly they want). Nothing wrong in her wish list. But one very peculiar feature, she made no mention of money. I thought her abstraction would be typically of a rich, handsome guy who is sensible, witty, caring, humourous .......& so on (girls can be very demanding). I was well almost right, it had everything but the money element. I was mighty impressed, finally a girl who is more concerned about a guy's self worth than his net worth (read bank balance) . But it seemed to good to be true so just to make sure I asked her, 'Would you a marry a guy who has all qualities mentioned by you but is not well off monetarily?' The reply, I must say was nothing short of hilarious. 'Are you nuts?That goes without saying'

Now that illustrates the importance of money in our lives. It is the start & possibly the end of everything. But there is something missing in the middle.

What that part is, I am yet to find out. I am at present on the verge of making a head start. Its ironic but I have seen people raking in moolah & making crores literally, by doing virtually nothing. Yes nothing. I thought these people must be ridding their luck. But I was wrong. Then I realized, earning money is not difficult, but only when you learn how to earn it. Now that's the most tricky part. How do you learn to earn money. Is there any school where it can taught (Amity Institute of Money Laundring). Sadly none exists as of date.

Its some thing which you have to learn yourself from a teacher called 'life'. Now I you have the knowledge, but the way you apply it would determine the outcome. It is the difference between ordinary & extra-ordinary poeple. The latter know how to apply their skills in the best possible way. You must have vision & the determination to reach it. A great plan is of no use without proper implementation. Dream, dream big but all this while remember with a smile, it is the smaller things in life that can cause big strife.
