Money Can’t Buy Everything…!!!



True, money can’t really buy anything, believe me it’s true. Seriously, it’s true.
Is it really true?
If it’s really true, then why we work so hard, forget our parents, friends, and relatives and devote maximum time in our life working? We even forget where our happiness lies, why this compromise? What is the wroth of that money if we can’t devote time for our near or dear ones, if we can’t devote time for what we love to do?
So do you still think money can’t buy everything?
Being in life insurance Company, I am extremely against the statement, since we provide the financial compensation against the unfortunate demise of our dear ones.
I am working so hard just because I had some future plan and I guess rest all also think the same way I am thinking, but future, which is most uncertain. Some people says they are working and saving for their children or for their next generation, but do you think your children loves you because you earn? It’s we who wish to provide our children the best we can get for them.
In fact, if I talk about myself, I am great lover of bikes, cars and I want to travel down the whole world. But how would I do this, yes if I accomplish this, the happiness would be priceless, but to get that happiness I need to spend and for this, I need to earn.
People say we can’t buy LOVE, but tell you what, your wife is with you not only because you love her, but because you bring some money at the end of the day.
But I feel, no need to earn lacs of rupees if you can’t spend time with your dear ones. Its better you earn thousands of rupees and give time to your near or dear ones. If you really want to know what money can’t buy, it’s the TIME, which money really can’t buy. You can only regret about past, you cannot repair it with money, you can’t stop yourself from growing old.
But again the question comes, why we save money for future unforeseen?
There are many things money can’t buy but there are something among them which money can compensate for or give you confidence to at least try for it.

The Price of DREAM...!!!

Everyone do have some dreams, people say some dreams are realistic some are not...
But what i feel, every dreams can be realistic but it will destroy the person within you.
You will not be the same person again, try whatever.
I will tell you my story.
My biggest dream is to become a successful entrepreneur, but this successful not only means i get success in my work, but it mainly counts in Money.
 I had always wished to have a beach house/farm house with luxurious cars, house interiors full of new gadgets especially music systems, i love the sound effects.
But for all these things, i had to start preparing early stage.
A btech graduate selling insurance is the most irritating question for me, but to live my dreams i need to get a good start with handsome salary and thats why i had joined this company but if a pvt company pays you that some of money, it will make sure to squeeze out that wroth from you.
With so heavy workload i started loosing contacts with my relatives and friends and even i had stopped playing cricket my only love.   
On the way for fulfilling my dreams, i had bought a CAR, Indica Vista, sapne bade isliye CAAAR bhi badi le li, out of my budget.
a 7 lac car, for which i am paying an EMI of 15000, will chuck out a large portion of my salary for 3 years.
yes i had a option to increase my emi payback period but i need to fullfill my other dreams also so i want to get rid of my loan liability, which keeps on pressuring me on my job, coz i need to either get a job with high salary or need to continue with current one till i get.
In the way of fullfilling my dreams which is very far away till now, i had lost contacts with my loved ones and i had stopped doing things i liked the most.
and what if i achieve my dream... some times it feel like a nightmare if i achieve my dreams...

PLANNING.....

How many of you had planned and achieved all those things till date?
we all do long term planning, but we never ever match where we have reached and what we have planned?
We must have a feedback system which keeps us reminding we are deviating from our path.

i will be 27 this year, and what was my plan?
i had planned that i would be working in defence (either military or police), but look where i am.
First deviation started when my mother forced me not to join ARMY, although i had cleared NDA, TES and UES, but there was something more raw for me in the account.

I went to do my engineering from Bundelkhand University, Jhansi.
my next goal was to be in automobile industry, but i had opted for electronics and communication stream just because that stream had those fantastic digital circuits, but i forgot this stream will make it difficult for me to enter in automobile sector and my deviation started.

Due to recession i was not placed and had to wait for one year deciding whether to go out and search job or should prepare for MBA, finally opted for later one.

XISS, one of the premier B school, i went there because XAT paper had shown some mercy on me and help me scoring 80%ile.
Again looking for job in automobile industry, i opted for Marketing stream.

These two years of my life was full of learning and excitement, and even got chance to seat for the campus placement in TATA motors, but my overconfident had ruined the one and only chance of mine.
Now, I am working as State Relationship Manager, DLF Pramerica, posted in hometown, handsome salary but what was my plan and where i am, i had deviated so much that i cant even find the way to get back to my plans.

And when i sit and calculate what value addition i had made in my career, i found no answer.

I don't know where i am and where i need to go, i just can't keep standing and waiting let the road carry me to where ever i should be....
