THE JOURNEY' from 50ps to 500Rs

At this phase in my life I feel I have learnt an important lesson that I hoped to learn- the value of money. I believe life is a great teacher. When I was 20, I earned 500 bucks through hard work and dedication; The feeling is different when we earn it, and when we receive it from others; and the feeling of being independent and to also to be able to support my family somewhere somehow. For me, this achievement is like a milestone in my life.
I am an undergraduate, still making my way through the social ladder. I tried working in different work set-ups but never completely satisfied. The sad plight in India is that you need a minimum undergrad degree to work in well established companies. Working while studying is rarely encouraged here. No sooner did I have an insight than did the thought of establishing a small film production of my own, occur to me, one day. Today, I keep this as my success dream, the ray of hope I want to achieve and I know I will achieve it, one day. I am proud to express that my source of inspiration comes from a man who is an epitome of hard work and dedication, who lives a life of simplicity, who faces the storms of life with a certain, unexplainable clam. Overall he is a person who has embraced success and hardships that life had to offer with humility, that I specially find laudable. This man is none other than my DAD . I still remember those times when he would give us 50 Paisa to my brother and me as our pocket money. That 50 Paisa felt like thousands of rupees to us! Maybe that was the onset of the lesson on the value of money.

P.S: People who called me a “loser” are still being dependent, not valuing the value of money.
So my humble request is: don't just call people names for the heck of it! You never know what they are going through or what their future might turn out to be.
The real loser is one who does not dream - ‘The Dream of Success’ and the thirst to achieve it with a pinch of the morals of life.
