Person 1: 

Bought the latest iPhone.

Person 2: 

Bought a second hand Android.

Who is rich?
Person 1, right?

But then you get to know…

Person 1 earns 30% per month of what the iPhone costs.
Took an EMI to pay for it. 

Person 2 earns 200% of what the phone cost her.
Paid for it in full. 

Now who is rich? 

Buying something that erodes in value on debt, does not mean being rich.
It means you borrowed money to show it as yours.

No investment is worth it, if it gives you returns while taking away your sleep.

On the other hand – No investment is worth it, if it just sleeps, while you do.

1. No one is truly your friend until they have seen the worst of you and still choose to stay.

2. No one is truly your friend until they say “I believe in you” when you struggle to believe in yourself.

3. No one is truly your friend until they choose to tell you the truth, even though they might be affected personally for saying so.

As kids, all we heard were stories. 

True stories.
Fiction.
Mythology.

And these stories shaped up our worldview.

Our fears, hopes, desires and imagination stems from these stories.

But as we grow up, logic takes over.

1+1 becomes 2 and nothing else.
History becomes fact and nothing more.
Nature becomes evolution and nothing beyond.

And we forget how much we loved stories.

We forgot how, hearing stories, makes us go back to who we were!

We have suppressed the child within us.
But it is still alive!

If I can find the kid in me and bring him back, that will be the best gift I can give myself.

??From an early age, thinking about money was not encouraged.

It was the unsaid rule that money is important, but thinking about it is evil.
After all, money was the reason behind the fights, the wars, the disagreements.

Now I know, it is not money that is the cause.
It is the importance we attach to it, in our lives.

Money is simply a medium of transaction.

When it becomes an emotion, that is when it consumes us.

And that is true for all things in life!

An underrated impact of having a routine is self respect. 

Think of all the promises you made to yourself and broke.
And what it did subconsciously to your self respect. 

And think of all the promises you made and kept.
And how that made you feel you could trust yourself. 

The healthiest way to feel validated is to have a routine and deliver on it.

Ma always stood for perfection.
But she has a very interesting and inspiring definition.

Perfection is when you do something with such finesse that people are left amazed at how you even did it.
But for you, it is not a big deal. 

It is a habit.
It is natural.

I learnt from her that perfection is personal.

It is what makes others wonder.
But for you it is the only way you know!

No one is truly your friend until they have seen the worst of you and still stayed.

Our routine sets our habits. 

Our habits determine our experiences. 

Our experiences determine our emotional state. 

Our emotional state determines everything.
