Take off
BHAGO BHAGO
I am at the Airport. The announcement to board has just been made. I can see people in a hurry to board and wait inside the plane instead of relaxing in the lounge.
Why do people scramble to board. By being first does one reach the destination faster? But people being a slave to their habits just cannot change even if the habit is absurd.
We see the same habit show itself in investment. People think investing is about timing and people scramble to invest at times which to them appears opportunistic even though it may not be so.
The smart passenger is one who relaxes in the lounge and casually walks into the aircraft and has a good flight.
Likewise a smart investor simply continues his SIP irrespective of the surrounding turmoil.
Taking things easy in an unflustered manner is perhaps only formula to success.
Isn't it?

A Ray Of Hope
A ray of hope
Once Wealth and Poverty approached a merchant and introduced themselves as Goddesses. The merchant offered his salutations to both of them and said: "May I know what brings you to my humble tenement?" The Goddess of Wealth said: "We want you to judge and tell us as to who is more beautiful between us two?"
The merchant was in a fix. He knew he was between the devil and the deep sea. If he were to declare wealth as more beautiful than poverty, poverty would curse him. If he were to declare poverty as more beautiful, than wealth, wealth would forsake him. However, he regained his composure and said: "I have great respect for you both.
Would you please act according to my instructions? Then only I can judge properly." The Goddesses agreed. He said: "Mother wealth, would you please go to the entrance (gate) and walk into the house? Mother, poverty! Would you please walk from here towards the gate? I can have a good look at you both, from near and far."
The two Goddesses did walk as the merchant wished them to. Then the merchant happily declared: "Mother wealth! You appear very beautiful when you enter the house. Mother poverty! You look very beautiful when you leave the house!" The Goddesses appreciated the wit and wisdom of the merchant. The Goddess of wealth happily stayed in his house while the Goddess of poverty cheerfully walked away.
When a serious problem confronts us if we look within and think calmly, a ray of hope and light will beam forth and show us the way.

Being Polite
Being Polite
I walked with a friend to the newsstand the other night, and he bought a paper, thanking the owner politely. The owner, however, did not even acknowledge it.
"A sullen fellow, isn't he?" I commented as we walked away.
"Oh, he's that way every night," shrugged my friend.
"Then why do you continue being so polite to him?" I asked.
And my friend replied, "Why should I let him determine how I'm going to act?"
Thank you & have a relaxed day !!!
