At least eight of the 17 regions of the Philippines were hit by Typhoon PEDRING (international codename: Nesat), displacing thousands of Filipinos because of the heavy rains and ensuing floods. As it leaves the country, we'll find out the full extent of the damages it caused and its corresponding health consequences.

My Saving Strategies - Religare GOLD

I take a common sense approach to spending where I try to divide my needs and desires.
Now lets play a game and see how frugal you are compared to me:

Compare your answers with mine:

1. Do you NEED to go the theatres to watch the latest blockbuster? Or can you wait until it comes out on DVD to rent?

    I enjoy the cinemas but I have disciplined myself to only go once every few months (or longer). I rent movies most of the time.

2. Do you NEED to go out for supper at a fancy restaurant? Or can you cook your supper at home?

    I go out to eat on special occasions [more often if someone else is paying ;)], however, most of the time I just cook at home. Cooking at home is cheaper (usually healthier too) than eating out at any restaurant, even Mc Donalds.

There you have it. That’s just a few examples on how I can save on my monthly bills.
Now saved money can be used to buy GOLD coin which is safe investment these days.

I am planning to buy myself 2 gold coins in coming Dhanteras.

Success is a journey, not a destination

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal. 

Earl Nightingale

Let's look at these definitions carefully.

"Progressive" means that success is a journey, not a destination. We never arrive. After we reach one goal, we go on to the next and the next and the next.

"Realization" means it is an experience. Outside forces cannot make me feel successful. I have to feel it within myself. It is internal not external.

"Worthy" refers to our value system. Which way are we heading? Positive or negative? Worthiness determines the quality of the journey. That is what gives meaning and fulfillment. Success without fulfillment is empty. Why?

"Goals" are important. Because they give us a sense of direction. Success does not mean being accepted by everyone.

There are some groups I would not want to be accepted by, out of choice. I would rather be criticized by fools than appreciated by unsavory characters. I define success as a manifestation of good luck that results from inspiration, aspiration, desperation and perspiration; generally in that sequence. Success and happiness go hand in hand.

Success is getting what you want and happiness is wanting what you get!

Start Investing in Stock Market

Investor should begin investing irrespective of what happens in the near-term. There is huge value across the board, be it largecaps and midcaps in the market. However, investor should not take too much of leverage positions. It is a very difficult market for the traders.

When investors turn into traders, they get disappointed with the markets. The key is to buy into the right kind of stocks and just hold on. Over the next one year, the returns would be very strong.

Beauty lies in the smallest of things.

As seen through child's eyes. Whenever I pass by a busy road, my 7 year old cousin Kanha
manages to see something which will never catch an adult's eye.

While I am too busy honking, stressing, fretting and fuming at the chaos which
surrounds us, he looks outside the window and says, 'see there's a kite and its hurt',
referring to one hanging on a wire shredded into pieces.
And I realise of course, the kite's had a story.

Simple, pure and fun.
What a lesson to be learnt. Wow! My storytelling is improving.
And I give credit to Kanha for it. He is teaching me more things than I can
ever teach him. And he definitely makes a better teacher than me.
Way better. Because innocence is his biggest tool.

Sadly, that is one tool I lost several years back.
When I left the realms of childhood to step into a corrupted outside world,
I left my mother's lap to fall prey to the vices of materialism and stopped
living to earn a living.
