Millions of students graduate every year all over the world from their respective universities and if you ask them a question, what would you choose fish or a fishing rod? The answer is instantly the fish. The fish is here a metaphor of money, jobs, security etc and the fishing rod is businesses and institutes that bring money in every day. In other words, fishing rod feeds the people for life time and not for a day or two. Fish is not everything, fishing rod is everything.
Learn to see the big forest than a single tree.
People are highly qualified academically yet they don't make a correct choice. After graduating from the university, the students look only a particular apple tree and they miss to see the whole forest. They want money but they don't want things that could produce more money for lifetime. They see the short and immediate desires than the delayed needs.
Many conform rather than to think for themselves.
Immediately after the graduation, the students conform to the world of seeking jobs or work for money. Of course, the schools and colleges don't teach students to think independently rather they train them to conform to uniformity that is why schools and colleges insist upon wearing uniform or dress code for students. The students learn nothing more than conforming to their peers and the world. A person who thinks for himself may not conform to the world instead he will chart out his own course but according to conventional wisdom, he would be considered crazy.
The role models to emulate.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are the real role models who didn't conform to the conventional world rather they thought for themselves and because of their unconventional thinking they are shining in the world today. They have created a new world, a new history and a new standard of living and achieving one's goals. People shouldn't conform to the world blindly just because others do so. They must pursue their own goals and interests than working to buy the fish. They must work to get the fishing rod than the fish. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and many others, didn't give in for fish instead they chose acquire the fishing rod. That has made a big difference today in their life.
Aim to acquire the fishing rod than fish.
If you acquire the fishing rod, you can feed yourself for months and years but if you aim to have only the fish, you will have only for a day. It is not a good choice in this present world where the rules of fishing and eating fish have gone a drastic change. There is a great advantage for those who want to acquire the fishing rod. You can choose the entrepreneurial path to take care of yourself and your family and others financially through out the years.
The fish may not be the best choice today.
Many parents insist their children to go to school so that they can get good jobs and earn good money and the children follow the same thing even after finishing the university. In the information age, fish is not the best choice today; the earned income from the job may not be sufficient to run the family today. The recent recession has hit very hard those people who look for only fish, who work for the earned income. There is a great danger in working for money.
Look for assets that will put money in your pocket.
People work at jobs and get paid for their labour, energy, time and service. They don't work for the assets that could bring money in their pocket. Those who didn't work for the assets that bring cash flow in the pocket are bleeding today because of the recession all over the world. They are still today looking for jobs to pay back the debts and feed their families.
If students and adults learn the difference between the fish and the fishing rod, assets that bring cash in and the liability that takes money out of pocket and the business that earns profits and jobs that bring earned income. It is a sad choice the young people are making today everyday. They lack guidance, wisdom, information and experience. They are wrongly conditioned and programmed. Teach yourself to choose the fishing rod than the fish. Choose fortunes rather than a living. Choose assets than liabilities. Choose businesses than jobs.

Make A List Of Your Goals!
It is said that when we have a list of goals, the bank balance increases and when there is plenty we can afford all that we possibly want. Let me guess, if you don't have a list of goals, then there is nothing much in your bank balance. On the contrary, if you do have a list of goals, then for sure you have more than enough to last one year without work.
There are some reasons why we should have a list of goals. There could be some obvious reasons and not so logical reasons nevertheless we must have goals.
Goals act like the set of the sails.
Goals really act like the light house, which direct the ships large or small to its destined harbor. The physical circumstances, the disappointment, heartbreak and failures could discourage a person so much that there would be no guiding post to move ahead. Goals channelize the human energy and resources to accomplish some predetermined objectives. It is really important to set goals, the things we would like to achieve during our life time. Of course there are people who have different opinions about goal settings but don't get distracted by their words. Have your own list of goals to live a fulfilled life.
We become definite about what we truly want.
Goals make us definite about going to certain place and achieving something real. Without becoming first definite about our goals,we can't expect to get what we want. Goals progress us towards our ideal vision and our mind is very clear about what we want to become in life. The more definite we become about what we want, we can reach our goals faster and sooner. Become definite first through the list of goals and enjoy your life.
Setting goals help us program our minds for success, health and prosperity.
When we set goals or write down our goals, we do a lot of great things for ourselves. By writing down our goals, we condition and program our minds mentally first through the pictures, images and visuals for success, health, wealth and abundance. There is a deep connection between goal settings and the programming. If we don't impress our unconscious part of our brain then we can't really get what we seek to get in life. Have a list of goals to impress your subconscious mind for prosperity, abundance, health and happiness.
Goals reflect who we become in the process.
There is no doubt, what goals will do to us if we have a list of goals. Goals will make us very valuable and capable individuals in the market place. Goals will help us become attractive and powerful in our skills and developments. There is enough chance for us to attract all that we desire and long for. Take for instance, people who have accomplished great success in life, they have become valuable in the market place by setting goals. They are great and extraordinary by achieving their set goals. We can too reflect our true self, when we follow our goals.
Don't listen to others' opinions about goal settings.
You will come across many people in your life who would not agree with having a list of goals because they are very critical and negative in thinking and believing. Beware of such people and don't share your list of goals with them because their personal opinions would really drive you off the right course. You may be on course, but you will soon realize that you have been pushed aside from the main course of destination. Our friends, colleagues, parents or neighbours don't know about us, so the goals that we set may not work for them but those goals may work in our favour if we believe truly.
Goals can change our life for better and give us a new lifestyle and perspective too.
People whom we see around the place driving fast cars, living in magnificent houses and buildings, thriving businesses and investments etc. could change their life because they assumed the responsibilities of setting goals and one after the other reached their goals. Goals make a big difference in life when we achieve them and they also make a huge difference when fail to achieve them. Claim your good life and vow to have your own unique lifestyle.
There could be other reasons why we should have a list of goals. The reasons may vary person to person but decide to have at least your list of goals and don't ever doubt whether they would work or not. As long as you have goals, you should be certain and definite that you are going somewhere and not moving around aimlessly in life.

We All Must Choose To Become Rich Everyday!
Do all people really choose to become rich on a daily basis? Do they think, it is a great idea to be rich and prosperous in life? People do wish that they should be rich, but in fact their wishes are superficial and unreal. Deep down there are some conflicting ideas that don't really allow them to choose richness.
Love of money as the root of all evils.
Many believe that 'love of money is the root of all evils' in the society and as a result the majority of population don't ever aspire to become rich in life. They just want to get by rather than living their desired lifestyle. The people have been conditioned wrongly by the teachings of religious authorities and because of the impression of wrong concepts many people deny and hate becoming rich. Instead of choosing to become rich everyday, they choose to become poor everyday because they have learned that poverty is virtue. "Happy are those who are meek, humble and poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God."
The lack of money is the root of all evils.
The love of money is not the root of all evils as everybody in society thinks about, rather the lack of money is the root of all evils in the society. The ignorance is the cause of evils. When people lack something because of limited means to acquire all that they want, they begin to find ways to satisfy their unmet wants and needs. When unmet wants or needs drive their hearts they take up any means to satisfy their wants, whether it may be to steal from others or to kill somebody. The lack creates a divide in the society and that brings disharmony and disasters.
Be encouraged to become rich.
Therefore I am here to encourage people to choose to become rich daily so that they can be financially independent and live a happy life throughout their life. Being rich has many positive points. When one is rich, he/she can afford the best college education, can buy the cars, the planes, the buses or can buy flats and villas to stay in. A person can buy the latest apple i-phone.
Some significant reasons to be rich.
When we choose to become rich, we could afford the best health service and check-up in the hospital. We can buy everyday fresh flowers to keep in our homes or send flowers to some deserving people everyday. We don't need to rush to the office everyday during the peak traffic in the city.
When we choose to become rich and at the end became truly rich, we could get a body and foot massage to relax ourselves. We can buy the expensive furniture for our homes or we can donate furniture to some organizations that may require chairs, tables, desks etc.
By choosing to become rich, we can provide scholarship for the needy students who can't pay the tuition fees. We can even pay the hospital bills of some unknown families who can't afford to pay the whole expenses. We can buy people some new dresses, shoes, mobile phones, cameras and cars for those who can't afford during their lifetime. We can invest in the start-up businesses to encourage the young entrepreneurs. There are millions of things and ways that a person seeking wealth and prosperity could do during one's lifetime.
Greediness, crimes, wars, poverty could be reduced.
When everybody desires to become rich and believes in the absolute capitalism, there is no place for greediness, crimes and poverty. People will never look at the others with suspicions and greed when people really rely upon their unique talents, skills and capabilities to accomplish all they want.
Therefore choose to be rich.
Becoming rich provides many things and it increases our human capacity to contribute something for the better society and world. Nobody would ever dare to live in poverty, illiteracy, ignorance and lack because there would be enough for all. The nature gives enough for everybody and those who choose wisely to become rich, they will reap the rewards and live a satisfied life.

Educate yourself about money, taxes, good debts and bad debts, inflation and retirement.
In the world, whether you are rich or poor, all have one basic problem and that is 'money.' Almost everyone has some bad and some good experience in relationship with money. Nobody is immune to problems that arise in connection with money. Either there is a problem of enough or not enough. Either there is a problem of plenty or poverty but there exists a problem, which is handled differently be different groups of people. To overcome such money problems of plenty or poverty, you need to educate yourself about money, taxes, debts, inflation, retirement and the media today.
The problems people are facing today with regard to money, inflation, taxes, debts, unemployment, poverty in the world are due to ignorance about the subject matter called money. People don't have any nice chance to learn about money, inflation, taxes, credit card debts from some reliable sources. From the point view of ordinary people, there is no information or knowledge available in abundance but there is information overload from the point view of institutes or big organizations.
These days many people have defaulted their minimum credit card payments because of high inflation, they have no money left in hand to run their families. The inflation has increased very high but the salaries haven't increased. There is no excess or plenty of cash reserved or balance in their pockets as a result they are defaulting and non-payment of the principal amount plus the interest on that are creating huge bad debts for the credit card holders today.
It is very easy to swipe the credit cards in front of our friends to look rich or comfortable but the simple error is creating a big hole in one's financial stability. The large financial institutes all over the world are earning huge profits on the ignorance of the masses. They don't educate the masses rather they expect them to be ignorant.
If you want to know how lack of financial education is causing so much problem, then you just need to turn to your neighbour or friends or family members who have no idea how to handle the credit card debts and they will tell you how badly they are screwed up today. The complains and grievances against the large financial institutes are increasing because of lack of transparency and irresponsibility.
70% of financial problems would have been avoided or solved if they had good financial education regarding money, taxes, inflation and debts. These people have academic and professional education no doubt but they lack the financial education from their perspective. They know how to work for others, pay for others and earn for others because they learned them in the schools and colleges but they didn't learn how to work for themselves, pay for themselves first and earn for themselves.
If you are interested in increasing your financial knowledge then you can actually educate yourself by gaining access to good information and knowledge. There are some good financial books which might assist you in increasing your money skills. If you haven't read about Robert Kiyosaki's books, then you must pick up his series of books, which are excellent for gaining financial wisdom. He has provided the world with very good knowledge filled financial education tools to elevate one's life financially.
At the end, it is you who can solve your money problem small or big if you increase your knowledge regarding money, taxes, inflation and debts. People who are millionaires and billionaires do know something about money system that is prevalent all over the world. In my opinion, we can play the same game of money legally and yet win over financial illiteracy. Learn and do your own research regarding the money system to live a free life in this world with great abundance and prosperity.

Maintain Your Momentum All The Time!
"Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?" Tony Robbins
When the momentum in life is kept alive, there is harmony, order, energy, enthusiasm, confidence and positive environment everywhere. We can see the effects of momentum in our work, business, family, relationship, health, wealth and country. Everything seems to be in order and disciplined. We begin to feel phenomenal about everything that goes smoothly. We don't complain or blame things for the lack of results or effectiveness.
The momentum is very important in life, if we have some goals, dreams, vision and mission. In order to work on our mission, we need to take action daily. We perhaps have to develop the discipline in order to actualize the dreams and goals. It is possible when we keep the momentum of taking daily actions.
Those who have kept the momentum faithfully, have accomplished their goals and are proud to have a lifestyle that they wanted to have in life. Ask any busy person who is tightly scheduled, whether momentum in life is important or not. They will tell you how important role the momentum plays in our life.
There are many real examples of people who have kept their momentum and those who failed to keep the momentum. Those who had gained the momentum but were distracted, lost almost all areas of accomplishment. As long as they kept the momentum, they excelled in their specific responsibility. It is difficult to regain one's momentum when it is gone. Therefore, don't lose your momentum and focus so that you don't have to regret for being left behind.
People go broke because of not keeping the momentum of their actions. When things sail good, they stop doing the thing that helped them to feel good. For instance, people go to gym and do their daily workout to stay fit. Once they are fit, they stop going to the gym or doing the exercise as a result their momentum is broken and they begin gain back those extra pound of weights.
On the other hand, those who are successful, rich and healthy, they continue to do things that matter for them. They never lose their momentum because they know if they lost their momentum, they wouldn't be enjoying the fruits of their hard work. Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Donald Trump and others continue their activities and don't stop abruptly. They maintain the momentum and gain much rewards in life.
You can gain a lot if you keep the momentum to study, learn, read, play, work, think, plan and desire constantly to excel in life. There is a great reward for you if you maintain the momentum always. Keep in mind that success, wealth, health, happiness, love and peace come only while keeping the momentum.

Make A Right Choice Between Formal and Informal Education!
"Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune." Jim Rohn
Today there are millions of graduates all over the world who have received their formal education from the prestigious and not so famous universities with good grades but many of them are still jobless searching for jobs and employment opportunities. These people didn't make a right choice between formal and informal education. Formal education here refers to the academic qualification while the informal education means the self-education that is undertaken by individuals to excel in life without much formal education.
The 96% of world population are well aware of the formal education system and they count on it for the living. They look for jobs to earn a living so that they could feed their family. This is the only way they know and they take up whether they like their jobs or not. As long as they get their regular paychecks to survive, they are happy about it and wish that this goes on forever. Formal education is important no doubt but that is alone not enough in this 21st century. The combination of both is perhaps the best solution to challenge the changing period of history.
It is better that the youngsters make a right choice between a living and a fortune. There is a great difference between these two. Whichever suits, you must choose that and take upon yourself the responsibility to make it happen. Working for a living is limited while working for a fortune is expansive. There is more to gain in pursuing one's fortunes than a living. Making a living doesn't require all our passion, talents and interests, it just needs our formal education to qualify for the post.
There are people who have quit their formal education and embraced informal type of education. These people are successful, rich and are having a better lifestyle. They equipped themselves through the process of self-education that they are very much qualified today to attract all the fortune that they aspire to acquire. It is their particular choice, which made them make a fortune for having a great lifestyle. They don't look for jobs rather job opportunities come in search of these highly enterprising people.
What we can do is to encourage people to take upon themselves the informal education so that they can continue to grow and improve their skills according to the changing trends. Taking upon oneself self-education for life time makes a great sense than formal education which lasts for few years. Self-education is continuous and unending. It is always updated freshly and matches with time.
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison and many others made a right choice between these two types of education. It is very clear what education system they chose and followed. There is freedom in choosing self-education because one works smart to make a fortune come true. In my opinion, people must learn to make a right choice for themselves and follow the decision to the full.

It is their particular choice, which made them make a fortune for having a great lifestyle. They don't look for jobs rather job opportunities come in search of these highly enterprising people.
What we can do is to encourage people to take upon themselves the informal education so that they can continue to grow and improve their skills according to the changing trends. Taking upon oneself self-education for life time makes a great sense than formal education which lasts for few years. Self-education is continuous and unending. It is always updated freshly and matches with time.
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison and many others made a right choice between these two types of education. It is very clear what education system they chose and followed. There is freedom in choosing self-education because one works smart to make a fortune come true. In my opinion, people must learn to make a right choice for themselves and follow the decision to the full.

Follow Your Own Passion!
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle." Steve Jobs
What is your passion? What do you think you will love to do during your lifetime? Do you know anything that drives you or interests you so much that you want to put in all your efforts, time and money in it? If you don't have, find it because it is there within you for sure.
Follow your own passion and don't follow others' passions for they will never make you happy and provide you a rich lifestyle. It is important that you choose your passion and be passionate about it to pursue whole your life. I believe you can realize it like others who have followed their passions.
Let's see the people who have discovered their passions and followed them minutely.
Wright Brothers
These two brothers are the true example of following one's ultimate passion. Their love for birds and the desire to fly like birds was the ultimate passion, which prompted them to innovate machines heavier than air that could fly. They invested all their energy, money and time just to make their passion come true. Did they succeed in pursuing their passion? Of course, they did and we know how they have assisted humans to travel faster and quicker across different continents within short time.
Henry Ford
This is another person who showed an exemplary role to follow one's passion than to follow others. He wanted to design cars and help people travel across the country smoothly. Did he realize his passion? There is no doubt about it. He revolutionized the car industries and paved the way for other manufacturers to follow his footprints. Today, the passion is alive and moving all over the globe.
Bill Gates
The real example of following one's passion is Bill Gates. At early age, he discovered his passion for the computers and he went after that passion. He was very young to decide whether to follow his passion or to study others' passion. Upon listening to his intuition or gut, he decided to adhere to his own passion and the dedication to that passion has revolutionized the entire world. If he had not followed his passion, then there wouldn't be any much technological advancement. Following one's passion is the key to better life here on earth.
Steve Jobs
Another important person who loved his passion is Steve Jobs. He closely followed his heart and today you know better, who has the biggest market share in the whole world? At young age dropping out of college was not a wise decision according to conventional wisdom. He would have been a failure in the conventional world without good certificates or degrees. But he gave up the academic pursuit and dedicated his time, energy and desire following his passion. Passion is the major key to growth, happiness, abundance and satisfaction. Find out your passion and be true to it until its final day.
Mahatma Gandhi
Many of us don't know what is our passion. But we shouldn't give up the search to find our passion. Mahatma Gandhi studied law and worked as a lawyer but soon he found out that he was leaning on a wrong ladder. That was not his passion. That was his profession. He gave up his profession and decided to follow his own passion to liberate people from clutches and exploitation of British Empire. He followed vehemently his passion and succeeded in achieving the freedom he was looking for his people. When people follow their own unique passions, there is freedom, a feeling of salvation.
Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison understood the profound secret that to succeed you have to follow your own ultimate passion and that can never fail you even after many setbacks and failures. His passion was to invent the electric light bulb and failed many times. But he didn't give up his own passion for he knew there was a way out.
There are many great successful people who have followed their own passions and they are today shining in the world. They have shown us the real examples that when we follow our passion, there is no obstacles, no failures, no loss but there is only success and rewards.
Find out today, what is your passion? What do you really aspire to be, do, have and enjoy? Don't ever say, you don't have any passion or love. You have within you the passion, which you suppose to go after.
Entrepreneurs, singers, dancers, artists, sportsmen and women, designers etc. all followed their own passions. To be successful, rich and happy, you better follow your inner voice to find out your ultimate passion of life. Think of the great people all over the world and learn from them how to be true to one's passion.
Be true to your passion; follow your passion to become what you want to be and live with passion. Go after what drives you and make it a discipline to do something everyday.
