As a student wished for few rupees on hand and the dad agreed to give that saying..
- "I'm giving you max. No more murmurs. Be disciplined and study well!"
- "YES!"
- "He gets a 4 figure salary!"
- "Finally got what I wanted!"
Were the then thoughts.. Again few years passed..
- "This Salary should go up. How long to take these small amounts?"
- "Now I can adapt to a decent life style!"
- "Money, Money and Money!"
- "I am paying the highest salary!"
- "Nothing less than owning a Bungalow!"
- "This is life!"
- "Right time to start own business where the returns are going to be phenomenal!"
- "A very successful man in life!"
Were the comments around. But was heard on an evening while chatting with a close friend..
- "Am now 65 and people say that I earned lot but I know my bank balances. These monies are nothing compared to the assets of the bigwigs around me in the field and…."

Well, yes. There's no end to the desires. And you can't get what you want every time. You have to learn to appreciate what you have. Admirable post from you reminding an eternally relevant lesson Sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jitendra.. Truly the right and the appreciative comment on the Post.. Love the same!
DeleteWe are always in the pursuit of something or the other. In the process, we fail to live at present and seize all that life has to offer! Always pushing boundaries and wanting more, rarely do we feel satisfied with what is available. When our legs are tired of running, we stop, take a look at the path traveled so far only to observe that we were ever running and never living!! Post is highly relevant to the current situation, sir!! Thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteRightly said Manasaa.. Somewhere we should be happy with what we have and start looking at life from a different angle which if seen in depth gives entirely a different meaning to it which hitherto we never thought of.. Money is one main issue I discussed here; equally follow Power and Politics.. Thanks for such an explanatory and appreciative comment on the Post.. Best Wishes!
