John Templeton | Economist.com
John Templeton | Economist.com: "Sir John revered thrift and had a horror of debt. His parents had taught him that in small-town Tennessee, instilling it so well that in his white-columned house in the Bahamas, overlooking the golf course, he still cut up computer paper to make notebooks. But he made an exception for love, which needed spending. You could give away too much land and too much money, said Sir John, but never enough love, and the real return was immediate: more love. The Institute for Unlimited Love, founded with his money, was set up to study this dynamic of the spiritual marketplace. His own charity, though, was harder-edged. On earth a free capitalist system was the only way to enrich the poor. No safeguards were needed: an unethical enterprise would fail, “if not at first, then eventually.”"

Unpredictable Event Or Bad Investment?
Unpredictable Event Or Bad Investment?: "Real Hindsight
While one cannot predict the future, there are accepted guidelines for making rational decisions that justify the hindsight argument. Real hindsight occurs in situations that genuinely could not be predicted at the time, or to which no blame can fairly be attached."

MiD DAY on the Web - E-paper- Digital Paper : Mumbai: "Nobody wants to be a doc
At least 8.5 years of academics, assaults by angry relatives and a salary of Rs 2.25 lakh pa in a govt hospital. That's why kids want to do engineering (4 yrs, Rs 3.2 lakh pa) or an MBA (graduation

Once upon a time, medicine used to be called a noble profession. Everyone wanted to be a doctor and to foist interest early on, parents would buy their kids doctor sets, and the kids would play doctor doctor. That was then.
Now, new-age parents do NOT want their kids to do medicine. Ditto their children. Instead, in their thousands, it's engineering and MBA, that the kids have been making a go at. (See the startling figures below).
It means, fewer years of mugging, fatter pay cheques and perks and relatively stress-free jobs as compared toa doctor. >4

Why Do We Read and Follow Money Tips But Never Become Rich? | Personal Finance Blog by Money Ning
Why Do We Read and Follow Money Tips But Never Become Rich? | Personal Finance Blog by Money Ning: "Don’t procrastinate and make time! The biggest mistake is to wait and don’t do what we really want to do. If we want to run a blog, we should try it. If we want to try to start cooking at home, we should go ahead and start today. Just remember that just like everything else, we won’t have instant gratification and it will be 100 times tougher than we initially thought. Believe in ourselves, believe in our abilities to adapt and believe that everything will work out."
