Two youngsters approached separately on 2 occasions an elderly gentleman of wisdom for his advice on improving their finances..
The elderly said to the 1st youngster,
“2 young men started their Careers approximately at the same time in their life..
One invested taking reasonable risk,
- Earned wholesome,
- Travelled widely,
- Spent generously and
- Settled in life with a feeling of well spent life!
- Earned limited,
- Travelled limited,
- Spent limited and
- Settled in life with a feeling of no achievement!”
When the other young man visited him, he said,
“2 young men started their Careers approximately at the same time in their life..
“2 young men started their Careers approximately at the same time in their life..
One invested taking less risk,
- Earned handsome,
- Travelled happily,
- Spent judiciously and
- Settled in life with a well-being feeling!
- Earned easy monies,
- Travelled endlessly,
- Spent recklessly and
- Settled in life with a lost feeling!”
“Sir! How is that you gave 2 contradictory advices to them?”
The elderly remarked,
"There is a drive in every individual and it's ever wisdom to give an advice in a way that he/she
- Checks own drive,
- Streamlines it without being propelled beyond and
- Live his/her life accordingly..
The 1st youngster having zero risk appetite and the 2nd one, high risk appetite!"
While leaving the elderly smiled and said,
"Ultimately none knows what happens with all our well laid plans!"
