Conviction

A boy was taking part in the auction of a bicycle.

He started the bid with Rs 11 /-
Very soon somebody bid higher but the boy still voiced out his bid as Rs 11 /-
Another person bided even higher but the boy continued and said Rs 11 /-.
The bid continued going higher & higher, but the boy continued to bid, after every bid by another person, in a louder voice, Rs 11 /-.

Others donot (will not) know why the boy's bid was stuck at Rs 11 /-.

Guess: Maybe that was the amount he had in his pocket, or maybe that is what he thought the cycle was worth, or maybe it was his whimsical experiment to try and get the cycle at Rs 11 /-.

Whatever could be his thinking, what could amaze is, his persistence.

His choice is to not be constrained by how the world operated, rather to operate how he saw the world.

The sustenance of his idea & not the outcome matters most.

By the way, he did not win the auction, obviously not.

He did win was his conviction.

Financial independence does matters — to live our old age with dignity, without depending on our children, physically or financially. In India, cannot depend on the Government also, despite we pay tax for earning and spending. If we own far more than we ever need or u...
