3. Redefining Wealth : It's More Than Just Money

"Redefining Wealth: It's More Than Just Money"

In today's world, wealth is often equated with financial riches, but the true essence of wealth extends far beyond our bank accounts. It encompasses the richness of the mind and the spirit. Let's explore the shift in our perception of wealth and its impact on our lives.

A Changing Definition of Wealth: In the past, wealth was associated with knowledge, wisdom, and a comfortable life. However, in the modern era, it's primarily linked to one's financial assets. We've seemingly lost sight of the true meaning of wealth, which encompasses more than just money.

True Wealth Lies Within: Real wealth is not merely measured by the size of one's pocket but by the depth of one's mind. True wealth is about making a positive impact on the world, enriching not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us.

The Pursuit of Money: Today's focus has shifted from emotional fulfillment to the relentless pursuit of money. Education is often driven by the desire to earn more, rather than gaining knowledge for the betterment of society.

Redefining Success: Being a wealthy person is not about buying low and selling high in business. True wealth is found when you give generously without expecting anything in return. It's about making a difference in the lives of others.

Economics and Survival: Economics was meant to provide an organized approach to survival, freeing us to explore higher dimensions of life. However, in our modern society, the focus has once again shifted primarily to survival and the pursuit of material wealth.

The Meaning of Freedom: In a world where economic concerns dominate, true freedom is elusive. When you're burdened with educational loans, car loans, and home loans that stretch into your later years, it limits your choices and opportunities. True freedom means being able to adapt your life to seize new opportunities.

We need to redefine wealth and remember that it's not solely about accumulating money. As the famous quote goes, "You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy." The lesson to carry is, True wealth is found in the richness of the mind, the depth of your relationships, and the positive impact you make in the world. Let's shift our focus from mere financial gain to a more holistic understanding of what it means to be truly wealthy.

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when he goes back.

33. Count your blessings not the troubles

 Count your blessings not the troubles  In my journey of life and the lessons gleaned from personal experiences that I aspire to share in the book I am endeavoring to publish, one profound revelation stands out. It revolves around our tendency to attribute our challenges and discontent to external factors—the country we reside in, the state and city we belong to, the educational institutions we attended, or even our family lineage. We extend this blame to the very fabric of our society, including our parents and their predecessors. Yet, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that the prosperity or adversity of a nation isn't solely determined by geographical location or available resources. Take Japan, for instance—a nation with limited arable land and abundant mountains. Despite these seemingly unfavorable conditions, Japan has emerged as a global economic powerhouse, relying on its innovative prowess rather than abundant resources. Notably, intellectual and racial differenc

"Covid 19 Pandemic: Embracing Life's True Values" The COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, forcing us to reevaluate our lives, our priorities, and our values. In the face of uncertainty, the pandemic taught us invaluable lessons that we must carry forward. These lessons are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder of what truly matters in life.  Life's Fragility:   "In the crucible of the pandemic, the fragility of life became painfully evident, etched into the fabric of a personal tragedy that unfolded within the circles of my closest friends. The story began when a dear friend's husband, on a business trip to Bangalore, found himself entangled in the clutches of COVID-19. The hotel where he stayed instructed him to leave immediately and go to the hospital. However, finding a good hospital was challenging, and he sought my help. An urgent plea for help echoed from both Bangalore and Delhi, where his wife anxiously reached out to me, seeki
