1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to.
2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.
3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.
4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem.
When I reached 60, I asked a friend of mine who has crossed 70 and is heading to 80 about the sort of change he is feeling in himself?
He sent me the following very interesting lines, which I felt are #TooGoodNotToShare and do tell us something ..
✅After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.
✅I just realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.
✅I now stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. A few pennies more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
Moral of the story being ... “Never underestimate your Customers' Complaint, no matter how funny it might seem!”
Here we go ...
A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors:
'This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact..
You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine.
I think I have shared this earlier but since it’s a new year and people will be working their financial goals for the year, I thought it’s a good time to refresh the #Rule72 .
If you find it useful and believe like me that’s it’s #TooGoodNotToShare kindly retweet ...
In personal finance, if we divide the number 72 by the rate of interest, we do get to know the number of years it will take for us to double the money.
For example if the rate of interest is 9%, simply divide the number 72 by 9% and the answer is 8.
Thus it will take 8 years to double our money if you invest at 9% p.a. rate of interest.
We can use this rule in reverse to know the rate of interest needed to double our money to achieve our set goal.
If we have 2.5 lakhs today and you need 5 lakhs in 5 years.
