life AND paisa !



Life AND Paisa !


I Still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think,
all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see

What is the meaning of life..? Its simple, whatever you want it to be..!! Indeed, everybody loves their lives, and, when it comes to money.. I haven't found a single person in this world who does not love his money..! In fact, people have an eye on other's money than their own ;) 


I wonder how important money can be in one's life..  I wonder if there's something mentioned about money in our destiny.. and if yes, then is the amount which we can earn in our lifetime pre-written..? What do we do with the money..? Spend most of it and be labelled as reckless.. or save most of it and be a Miser? 



Most of us learn, educate ourselves, equip ourselves with the required skills and then start earning.  I am 24 now, have entered the stage of "earning" and I have a question that I ask myself, Do I do what is right & will fetch me money.. or do I do what I wanna do, irrespective of whether or not I would have enough ?

  
So, what is the connection between Life and paisa? Is it really like maal hain to taal hain ? 
And, do we have a lot of it.. or not?

It is said, too much money is bad. Then, in that case, is inadequate amount of money alright? Logically, It is better to have money, than not having it at all !! Say, if too much money leads to stress and sleepless nights, we atleast have the money to buy a sleeping pill, don't we? ;-)

Well, am sure a lot of people have had these thoughts at some or the other point in their lives..


I ain't sure whether I have all the answers, But what I am sure of is, it is time for us to not shy away from money or money related issues. For, money was here before you were born, is the reason why you were born, and if the world does not come to an end in the year 2012, then it will always be here. Oh, not to forget, IT IS YOUR MONEY.. You have a right to decide what you wanna do with it !!



The Lack of money is the root of all evil.
- Mark Twain
Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.
- Benjamin Franklin
                                       




Money won't make you happy... but everybody wants to find out for themselves.
