Greedy vs Fearful

Hello, I hope you are safe and doing good in your life. I have written some insightful stories about greed and fears. I really hope you find it worthy. As someone says right life is too short to learn from own mistakes 😄

Warren Buffett once said that it is wise for investors to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”🤔

He said the same from the perspective of stock markets but the same principle can be applied in life too.

Here are few examples to make it more relatable and for more clarity.

1. Due to ongoing pandemic many people lost their jobs and few others wants to switch before they get fired, so situation was fearful for them to take any action.

One of my friend wants to change job because from there was no future in the current organization where he was working. He asked few people and they suggested him to stay where he is right now, don’t think of discontinuing the job or job profile.

People were advising these things because of ongoing pandemic, the layoffs , salary cutoffs, no bonuses,etc. I asked him to start searching for the job, update the resume and let’s reach out to every job portal or placement agencies and will help you out if anything relevant pops up.

After a couple’s of months struggle he got selected at well renown organization with a hike of 40% compare to what he was getting. He switched the job and those who were advising him was either saying “Good for you, Congratulations” or “But how, what did you do. Is it possible?”

Okay the market was fearful but he becomes greedy because if you are starving then you are left with two options either go for a hunt where there are chances you could be someone’s else prey or die in your own cave or burrow without even trying.

2. Sometimes we start doing what everyone else is doing whether it’s a certificate course, any type of classes, training etc. it could be anything.

2-3 years ago I saw everyone is enrolling for some examinations. I asked few the reason for opting the same some said “Bro, this will open many new opportunities for us in terms of growth and income” or some said “Look even that guy had done it easily so we are not that dumb. So why not give it a try. We should utilise our time”.

Here everyone becomes greedy. I’m not criticizing anyone here who wants to presue something or enrolling for some course but before that think twice thrice whether is it fruitful to opt what everyone else is doing or you’re doing to get new job new life and salary increment purpose only.

Few of my friends opted the same but couldn’t cleared the exams. They were disheartened by their results. But one person learn other tools or softwares through which she can finish her work in hours where she was investing a week.

Her manager was happy to see that and gave her the increment because of the same. And now she is focusing and engaged in critical projects too because of which the fear of future growth disappeared.

She becomes fearful but along with it looking for something relatable to her work. Sometimes we becomes blinded by greed and forget to look at bigger picture.

So in these kinds of situation take a step back look where you’re and where you want to go. Then look out for means and options to go for.

I hope I’m able to convey my message to you all. If you find it relatable then mention your stories in comments and also share to your friends and family.

Long story short

Let bygones be bygones. Whatever happened, happened. Just like after a storm, dust is destined to settle, sooner or later. Some of us kept moving with the ideology of “This shall too pass”. And somehow that proved beneficial.

But 2020 made us realise strength comes from within and conflicts from the outside.

Year 2020 taught me how important chance/opportunity is. Maybe you have uncountable skills, enormous amount of patience or top notch intellectual; all fails if no one gives you a chance to prove what you got.

And when all you skill set and experience fails you start questioning yourself because you start comparing yourself. So that’s how we starts conflict from outside. But if you look back at your journey from right where you are, you will find your companion and rival both.

Let me explain in past there were some habits or ideologies because of which you suffered, later on you gave up all that and become improved version of yourself. So look at those moments and time. That comes from within which gives you a reason to to go on and on. Ultimately turns into strength. Isn’t it?

So keep honing your skills and knowledge, who knows when and what chance or opportunity you will get.

Those who supported God bless them
Those who didn’t God bless them too.

As Elon Musk said once – “Life is too short for long term grudges.”

Everyone is driven by something

Everyone is driven by something

Blazing Ace.

Don’t try to drown yourself into the world of acceptance,
Show them how a tigress jump off the fence,

Not every princess is waitung for knight in shining armour,
You’re made up of titanium not with any delicate fur,

They’ll ask for the heat, fire and spice,
Show them that your speciality is ice,

At least you never lied neither on back nor on face,
They may be the queen of the game but lady you’re that blazing ace.

Poetically pathetic

So I did what you asked me for,

Those facial expressions which you really adore,

Through poetry I expressed your absence,

But if you’d be here these all makes more sense,

I still wonder how you could be devil-may-care,

Seriously I miss all those winks and stare,

You effaced all my confusion with tactic,

In return I get to hear “Karan, you’re poetically pathetic”,

We will meet when all these get over,

Till then I expect you to remain majestically sober.

You could stay strong here forever,

No worries no judgments and no complaints like never,

I wish I could speak my heart out,

How I fall for a vagabond by being a scout,

Accepted all your flaws and clumsiness,

Together let’s walk, run, fly and reach at heights of madness,

You’ll not be a challenge but will be my dignity,

I’m not asking you to eradicate all your curiosity,

People posts about their lover as “you’re my world”,

But do they know in world people exist who are not straight but curled,

For me you’re the one turns the water into wine,

The one who takes my word and made them rhyme,

No I won’t change a thing about you,

We can’t amend something which already pure and true,

We will rise and fall together,

Back and forth in time don’t bother,

You’re so mysterious that I can’t break the magic with spell,

So I decided to float and not to dig into or dwell,

You’re my Harry Potter who is up to something good,

I will love to be your weird Luna Lovegood,

I can’t make you stay here forever,

Even your enemy won’t do that, never,

Don’t feel pity about me and never look back,

Don’t worry about me and I knew all the life hacks,

Just go and live as your dreams are waiting for the show,

Yes, this scout’s love was true so I let you go.

Towards mistakes

The more you try not to make mistakes the more you find yourself in a circle full of mistakes.

Don’t pressurize yourself to be perfect. Give your commitment to do your work and task with your heart and soul.

Do you know what you will lost if don’t make mistakes. The experience of learning new things.

Stay alive

Isn’t it?
