Do You Invest The Way You Wish “Merry Christmas”?

The last week of 2011 has just started. We would love to wish Merry Christmas to all our near and dear. We would also wish them a Happy 2012. We being a social animal, it is customary to wish Merry Christmas, Happy Diwali, Happy Birthday, Happy New Year or Just Good Morning / Evening or Night.

Custom V/s. Feelings:-

When wishing becomes a custom…..it is done to please the other person, to show good manners, to show that you are a gentleman, to show that you care for the other person. The funniest aspect is that both the persons forget almost immediately after wishing and they go to next. Have you ever received a call from the person to check how was your day/year after he wished you Good Morning or Happy New Year? In short, wishes come from your mouth and not from your heart.

Does It Affect Your Life?

You live your life with “PLEASE ALL” mentality. There is nothing wrong with this attitude also…..but the basic principle says….you can not “please all” ….so when you try to “please all”, you kill your inner voice, your inner feelings and ultimately you have manipulated relations.

How Does This Affect Your Investments? :-

According to Benjamin Graham “An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and a satisfactory return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative.”

Without independent thoughts you can not do thorough analysis!! The most basic quality of a successful investor is to have an independent thinking (just see
Mr.Buffett is still investing in USA and you know what media is telling?).
When you have a “go with the flow” mentality……you break the basic rule of investments and you get manipulated!!

My Personal Call:-

Before you wish anything to anybody…….just wait for a second….see inside yourself….do you really mean what you say? If the answer is big NO…..Just Give A Genuine Smile To The Other Person….that will really make that moment very beautiful for him. This will lead to more smiles and more good moments…..naturally his day will be good, his week will be good, his month will be good and the year will follow.

A genuine smile can really change the world…do not believe me? Give it to yourself first thing in the morning when you brush your teeth…and see your day. Do give me your feed back….I have real concerns for you.

Before I close….I just want to bring to your notice…..If you really feel that our thought process and our approach to investment is independent…..you can take advantage of our services.

We are open for subscription for 2012 to 2014……do not miss. Just write to us. We will come back to you.

Live With Passion…Invest With Passion.
