Sunday Tabloids # 25 - Your Attitude determine your Altitude

Your Attitude determine your Altitude in Life - Yes, how true it is.

Bad attitude lead us nowhere in our life. We often forget to realize this and end up in crisis. This little story illustrates how your Attitude differentiates your action and helps to move ahead in your life.

A little boy goes into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits.

Boy: “Maam, can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?”

Woman: “I already have someone to cut my lawn”

Boy: “Maam, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now”

Woman: “Thank you, but I am very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn”

However, the little boy was persistent.

Boy: “Maam, I’ll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of North-Palm beach, Florida”

Woman: Thanks again, but I am sorry. I just do not find need for a change”

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver.

The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy and said,

“Son… I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.”

The little boy replied, “No thanks, I was just checking my performance with the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was talking to!”

Your ATTITUDE determines your ALTITUDE.

Different Facets of Love…

Acting of Love and Action of Love – Is there any Difference?

Yes, there is a huge difference between Acting of Love and Action of Love. Action of Love is a result of feeling of Love. It is a heart filling mood which takes you to the joyful World. Acting of Love is merely doing something to get advantage from others. It may be money, attention, care, love etc.

Acting of love sometimes leads to feeling of love, but not all the times. You can act on love only if you felt it in heart. It is a feeling which generates the action to care others. Many people act loving without feeling the love. This is because they want to show themselves as a good person to others. It might looks like action of love, but in reality it is different. One has to look at closer to identify the difference. The acting of love never brings joy to one’s heart, since their intention is to get something rather than give something.

Sometimes, we tend to control others in the name of Love. This controlling behavior looks like action of love and doing things out of care but it leads to breaking the hearts and the other person will not feel the love. Your love should not cross others’ freedom in any way.

It’s all depends on what you are choosing to get loved. Keep your heart open, love others, learn to feel the love and act on love. I’m sure, it will be replicated to you.

Start Investing early in Life, but Why?

Start investing early, this is the advice all financial planners suggest today. But, why we need to start investing when you are young. This is because of the Compounding power of money. Absolutely there is a difference who starts investing at the age of 18 and who start investing at 28. If you start investing at 18, you will get financial freedom soon and get retired young with adequate wealth.

I will explain the power of compounding with an example for your understanding. Let’s take two friends John and Robert. Both are at 18, John learned the power of compounding and started investing $ 5000 a year from the savings he made from his part time job. He knows the value of investing, so he invested in quality stocks through mutual funds rather than saving money in bank account. Assuming 15 % return on this investment, he accumulated around $ 101,500 in 10 years. After this, he stopped investing, but he didn’t touched the money accumulated so far and let it fetch the return of 15 % per year till the age of 55. His investment grows around $ 4,400,000, though he stopped investing after initial 10 years. This is the huge money which is more than enough for his decent retirement.

The other friend Robert, who didn’t aware of investing and compounding power of money, enjoyed during his teens and spent all his money which he could save and invest. All of sudden he realized the importance of money and investing at the age of 28, so he started investing where our other guy John actually stopped investing. Robert managed to invest $ 10,000 per year till the age of 55 assuming the same return of 15 % per year. At the age of 55, he accumulated around $ 2,850,000 which is almost half of the wealth John created. Though, he invested $ 10,000, double the amount John invested per year and keep investing for 22 years till he reach 55, Robert can accumulate only half of the wealth John created with the investment of 10 years.

Here, the difference is, John started 10 years earlier, but Robert didn’t. This is the power of compounding and investing over a period of time. Hope you all could understand the importance of investment early in life by this small illustration.
