What would YOU do if you KNOW your time on earth is limited ?

Would you
Wallow in Self Pity & Wither away ?
OR
Decide to make the Best Use of whatever time is left ?

Would you walk THAT final bridge between LIFE & DEATH whilst narrating your trip ?

Affinity to some books tend to grow over time . The more we read them , the more they force us to pause, reflect & introspect .

Tuesdays with Morrie by @MitchAlbom does that !

It is Raw , yet Real.
Simple , but Complex.
Dark , but Humourous.
Obvious , yet Profound.

3/
Morrie the Professor on his deathbed ( due to ALS) & Mitch , his super successful student meet after a gap of 16 long years for ONE LAST CLASS every Tuesday .

The subject being " The Meaning of Life " , taught purely from experience with a funeral in lieu of graduation .

Sharing a Few out of the Many Lessons

* DYING is sad .LIVING UNHAPPILY even more so *

We are busy doing things we THINK are important , mostly because we are chasing the wrong things.

We have forgotten what truly matters - Be it People or Things & hence are often unhappy.

5/
* Life is a SERIES OF PULLS - Back and Forth. Akin to a Wrestling match*

We wish to do one thing ,but are bound to do something else.

We take certain people for granted , despite knowing better .

But ultimately , ONLY LOVE WINS. For there is no life without love.

#LetsTalkMoney by @monikahalan is all about US understanding OUR Needs & Wants, & constructing OUR Money Box.

It helps BUILD a system in place , rather than focusing on a (non existent ) single shot solution.

MUST READ FOR ALL !

A 🧵 on it .

Firstly, build your own system to manage Cash Inflows & Outflows .
Find a way that's least troublesome but automatically separates the 2.

#Budgeting & #Allocation must not be a cumbersome task !

Easy bifurcation helps in Better mapping.

A bird's eye view on the same 👇

Moving onto Emergencies . This pandemic has made so many of us realise the importance of it .

Another interesting facet :
Unwillingness to take risks comes from the FEAR of not having money when needed - typically why Bank F.Ds are preferred.

Hence the EMERGENCY fund.

4/15
*It shall DIFFER from person to person.
*Understand HOW to go about it & BUILD up your fund.
*It takes 2-3 months time to figure out our expenses & 6 months - 1year atleast to build up this fund.
*So be patient ! 🤷
Don't jump the gun .

Moving onto #HealthInsurance .

It takes just one Hospital visit to realise the importance of a comprehensive Health cover . 🙄🤷

Sharing a few points that must not be missed prior to taking a policy .

The book explains EVERY POINT in DETAIL along with examples.

By far the best book I have read in a long long time.
One can simply begin from any page,for each note makes so much sense that we get lost in them , sometimes chuckling & often amazed .

Here are MY learnings from
" A Book of Simple Living" by Ruskin Bond.

2/22
The book is enriched with life lessons . Most profound of all for me being ,

#Life is simple despite all its hardships and complexities .
For the purpose of life is to live ....

Now, how we choose to live our life makes it simple or complicated.

3/22

Do we chase #happiness by climbing infinite mountains in the quest for fame & wealth or do we savour the goodness in the little things that often come our way but go unnoticed and unappreciated by us ?
For ultimately , " It is the little things that matter the most ".

4/ 22
#Forgiveness is the key to a good night's sleep . We clutter our minds when we cannot forgive.

We may be wronged many a times but one must learn to forgive even without receiving any apology .

For then the day's deeds are truly done .

5/22
#Nature is the best teacher and companion .
She gives us everything , expecting nothing in return .
But she is a force to reckon with when meddled with ...
Be like nature - generous and kind always but don't let others take you for granted .

TEMPERAMENT MATTERS
Your reaction to Greed & Panic shall determine your investing success.

Are you fixated on the LT business fundamentals or on the weekly stock prices ?

You need to have the SKILL to invest correctly & then the CONFIDENCE to hold them through drawdowns.

5/19
PATIENCE IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT

Don't get swept up in others' irrational exuberance.
LEARN TO SEE THROUGH FADS.🧐

A volatile price DOESN'T IMPLY a volatile business!
Focus on the underlying business & it's earning capacity always.

In investing, Inactivity is rewarding.
