I earn for 3 mouths and my dream, just enough to
create an extra space between my earnings and my
spending. I considered the space a warranty for my
confidence in me but still don’t consider it enough to
build a dream around it.
“Dream”, I called it a dream
because it is driven by an emotion and a likeness. The
real side of this likeness is yet to be supported by
something called believe.
“You don’t know and I think it would be hard for us to
completely understand the concept of how things work
in an advance society like those of Delhi”.
I had
nodded with agreement when a friend of mine said this.
The base upon which the statement was made happens to
be a week study tour in Delhi. This was 9 years back.
I have completed my eight years in Delhi yesterday and
these eight years has made things easier for me to
understand myself better. I am talking about 2920 days
of hard work and nostalgia, which went unattended by
the emotional side of me.
Things were tough with
various tastes of success and failure hitting you left
and right yet the concept of survival has its own
energy to heal the bitter taste; this is how I came
out of the test.
The system where I am now is a
perpetual system with is own evolutionary
characteristic of gaming on smart and innovative
ideas.
You have number games, relationship games,
buying games, selling games, loosing games, wining
games and all this games are sub games of a bigger
game which leads you to a ladder.
The best part and
the worst part of this games is you have rules which
you should follow yet you follow in such a way that
you don’t follow it like other follow the rules. This
is what they call as “Business world”.
I had knowingly or unknowingly entered this system to
check if a 20 years old boy who has the following
quality can survive in a place like Delhi.
1. He was born and brought up in a remote place of
Manipur
2. Not very good in education
3. Financially hole in the pocket (beat the hot
sharing cold drink with his Brother).
4. Has no proper aim in life
5. A very philosophical one who loves to talk about
the world during lei bung phamba
6. Loves to read everything except books
7. Reads other minds a lot but never read his own
mind.
8. Feel proud being a Manipuri and talks only about
the rich culture of Meitei.
The test was suppose to be only for a few months but
those few months has taken him further to years with
every additional year adding restlessness of being
away from Manipur.
The joy of learning, the excitement of getting new
opportunity and above all the confidence of winning in
a medium completely different than Manipur has created
a lot of patience in suppressing the emotional backed
objective of going back to Manipur.
However, I also
know that I can’t carry two Conflicting objectives for
long. I had started working on creating a space for
myself in Manipur like I did 8 years back; the only
difference is that I am not trying things out this
time. I have a lot of believe but not strong enough to
create an expectation out of it.
Do you believe in investing a lifetime earned
security? I believe in it. Do you still believe in it
if your lifetime earned security investment stands at
1/10 of the total required investment?
I still believe
in it. Do you believe that you would be able to get
9/10 of the investment from investor? Yes I do. Do you
believe in your capabilities of running the business?
Yes I do. Do you have a reliable source of business
with business flow continuity assurance? Yes.
Do you believe Manipur as a medium to run your
business? Yes.
Do you believe that you would have no
problem getting into a “percentage” system to protect
your business? Yes I do.
Do you believe that you would
only be asked to give out a reasonable percentage of
your profit? NO.
Do you believe that a business could
run with fatal threats? NO.
In such a case do you
still believe that you could guard the 9/10 of the
principle investment? NO.
Most Important do you
believe you can put a disaster recovery plan in place?
NO.
Do you feel that you could risk yourself and
other investment with 4 Nos? I don’t know.
What would you advise me in such a case? My email id is [email protected]
