Struggle, Loss, Failure, Limitations to complete any task etc.
are the situations which no body want to face. But whenever we face these
situations most of the time we termed these situations as “Bad Luck” to avoid our fault.
Every failure has reason to fail & not because of our “Bad Luck”. For me one can
be “Lucky”
by chance but cannot be “Unlucky” in any case.
If somebody born in rich family then you may say he or she is
“Lucky” by chance but
it’s nonsense saying “Bad Luck” if someone born in poor family.
If a poor person wins lottery may be “Luck” but if a rich person loses
money may have any reason but it can’t be “Bad Luck”.
I think naming your failure as your “Bad Luck” is nothing but
inviting another failure & stopping yourself to grab other opportunity which
may make you successful with much better density of success...

These lines from the Song “Ashayien..”
from Movie “Iqbal”.. Talks about Hope, Efforts, Courage to fulfil your Dream,
Ability to Never Give Up on Your Efforts & Finally Encourage to face all
the Challenges “Bravely”... J J J J
From last few months I am facing such situations in bulk... J J J J.. Even I
used the word “Bad Luck” in some cases. But soon I realized that by using word
“Bad
Luck” I was just running away from my limitations or from my useless
efforts which lead to failure. Because.. “Efforts Alone Has No Use... Result
Matters...” J J J J
After bombarding of all such bad situations from last few
months, which seems to me not ending soon as well, firstly I have deleted the
word “Bad Luck” from my dictionary, which was weaken my strength to
learn from my failure. & finally I asked myself –
“Do I “Brave” enough to face
all these challenges?
I replied no I am not “Brave”, I cannot fight with anyone.
Then I said to my self – “Hey fool I am not asking that whether you are “Physically
Brave” or not. Let me rephrase my question first –
“Do I “Mentally Brave” to face
all these challenges?
Yes, I got the point. I have to be “Mentally Strong” which will
give me strength to fight back again & again after each my failure. If we
look back & see most of the successful person, they are successful because
they were “Brave from Mind” rather “Physically Brave”. Best example
which came to me is none other than our “Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi”. He
was so successful in his objectives because he was “Mentally Brave”. He was
very clear in his vision, mission & objective with his way of non violence
& he was stick with the same till the end.
Do remember that our “Physical Strength” can be misused any
time & lead to big loss if we don’t have “Control in our Mind”. But
if you are “Mentally Brave” then for success it’s not so important to be “Physically
Brave”. For example if we will
compare a life of a “Physically Handicapped Person” then we
will found that they have lots of challenges for their daily activities but I
found them more successful than any other “Physically Fit” person, because they
are managing all the challenges with all the hurdles & they are able to do
so because they are “Brave from Mind”.
In the current scenario in India It is easy to make money
from money but yes very difficult to make money with no money. Rightly said by most
of the people currently in India, “Rich become Richer & Poor become Poorer”.
Yes there are few example who become
successful with no money but their count is very negligible & we can call
it as exceptions. A labour that does lots of hard work in a day left with Rs.
50 to 100. Where other lot of people with some amount of cash in their hand do
intraday trading in stock markets & take away 1000’s of Rupees every day.
Yes I do agree that “There Is No Shortcut to Earn Money”
but only for those who don’t have money. If you are poor, you don’t have your own land,
you don’t have working capital to run a even small size retail business, Banks don’t
give loan on your ability they too wants guaranty, yes it’s very difficult in
India to earn money for a poor.
Once I thought to
write to President of India to become Guarantor of my father for a Bank Loan which
has been rejected because he was nothing to produce as guaranty other than his
loyalty, honesty & capabilities to earn money from money. As he is the citizen
of India with great track record, follow all the rules & regulations of
Indian Constitution & if President of Republic India will not become
guarantor of an Indian Citizen then what will be the meaning of democracy?
But I thought not to waste my time on some ideological debate
& it is better to find our own way to earn money. One thing is very clear for
a Poor in India, earn good amount of money required lots of courage & he or
she has to be “Mentally Strong” to face all the challenges. For a poor in
India who wanted to earn handsome amount money is like “Running against the Wind”.
There is one way which is Education & cost of
qualitative education in India is too high, which a poor cannot effort;
unfortunately we have the reservation system based on caste rather than
poverty.
Any ways if we keep continue crying being poor in India has
no hope, doesn’t solve our problem. We have to wake up; try to run against the
wind, I know it is very difficult but if you are mentally strong than nobody can
stop you to achieve unbelievable success. We have to take risks.
Currently I am executing my dream project which is indeed a
very high risk project & as I told you earlier in this post that I am
facing bombarding of bad situations every day from the same project. As “There
Is No Shortcut to Earn Money”, I can only face these challenges if I
would be “Mentally Strong” to face such challenges.
Any ways that is something really very high risk taken from
me so I have to face all the circumstances. But I remember my 1st earned
money in year 2001, which was without any help from my family & I did not
have any money in my hand. That gives me lots of motivation to be “Mentally
Strong” even today for any kind of risk. Yes that was smaller risk but
still risk is a risk.
Earning money by doing any job can be possible even though you don’t
have money. But earning money by doing business is very difficult if you don’t
have money.
As I told you in my previous post that my parents were
against of my involvements in any of the business activities apart from our
family business & from my studies. But I wanted to earn money by my own. I
don’t know why I was so hungry to earn money by my own but you can say it could
be my passion to earn money independently.
In the Rakhi Festival 2001, I have decided to open Rakhi Shop
for 8 days. I convinced my 3 friends Guru Kushwaha, Sumit Kushwaha & Amit
Yadav for the same. We bought Rakhis worth Rs. 800/- on full credit. We were
having no cash at that time.
We have arranged some Bamboos, Material for roof & other
items which required to installing a temporary shop & installed one shop in
front of Guru’s shop. But that place was not the right place for Rakhi Shop. It
was far away from the main market & it was a big risk to install our shop
in the outer area. But we have installed our shop there.
It is right that when you do what you want to do then nobody
can beat your courage & passion to do that. You don’t believe I have to
attend my morning tuition classes in Seoni (25 K.M. away from Barghat) took at
least 1 hour to travel due to bad road conditions at that time & I was very
excited about my 1st business that I started wake up early in the
morning & was ensuring that I should open the shop before I leave to Seoni
& hand over to my other colleague. What a great time that was, the passion
to open the shop, excitement on each sell & finally calculation of daily
sell amount, excellent feeling & experience.
We have started utilizing our daily sells as working capital
for these 8 days & purchased some more Rakhis later, included coconuts
& roomals in our shop. After end of 8 days we have repaid all our debts
& left with Rs. 2000/- in hand along with some Rakhi’s which we can sell in
next year. In end we all were back to home with Rs. 500/- in our hands with
lots of “self satisfaction”.
It was not that much great feeling to earn Rs. 500/-
independently than to give this money to my Mummy. Learn lots of things from
this. One of the best learning was the risk taking ability. That was my 1st
risk which I have taken independently. From then I am taking risk in my life
& enjoying each & every moments.
We have continued that for next 3 seasons, profits were
increased each year. Later I moved to Indore for my MBA. When I visited Barghat
in this Rakhi, I met Guru & Sumit, we all have reminded the good memories
of those 3 years. Those are the excellent memories with lots of good
experience.
From then till now whatever I earned one thing is very clear
that “There Is No Shortcut to Earn Money”... J J J J
My next target was to boost up our swing machine business. In
the same year I wanted to introduce one scheme from Navratra to Diwali for our
swing machine business. I started convincing my parents to implement this
scheme which was very risky indeed. I required Rs. 5000/- for advertisement
& support from family to implement the scheme.
1. Whether I was
able to convince my parent?
2. Whether
they have given me Rs. 5000/- for advertisements?
3. Whether I
would be able to impalement that scheme?
4. More
importantly what was that scheme?
Breaking
News this is the end of this post.... you have to wait for my
next post for getting answers to these questions....
I would like to end this post with great lines from the same
song “Ashayien..” from Movie “Iqbal”..

Ashayein.. Ashayein...
Lekar Suraj Se Aag Aag...
Gaaye Ja Apana Raag Raag...
