An Airbus✈️ 380, on it's way across the Atlantic, flies consistently @ 800 km/hr @ 30,000 ft, when suddenly a Eurofighter w/Tempo Mach 2 appears. 1/6
Pilot🧑✈️of the fighter jet🛩️ slows down, flies alongside the Airbus & greets the pilot👨✈️ of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it?
Now have a look here - he told! 2/6 Source- via fb
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was that?" 3/6
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now u look !"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly stubbornly straight, w/the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?" 😊4/6
Confused🤔, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?" The AirBus pilot laughs🤣 & says, "I got up🧍, stretched my legs, walked🚶 to the back of the aircraft, became fresh, then got a cup of coffee☕️ & a chocolate fudge pastry🍫. 5/6
Moral of the story⤵️
When u are young, speed & adrenaline seems to be great.
But as u get older & wiser👨 u learn that comfort & peace are more important😊. Buy Quality #Stocks low & be at peace.
Its called S.O.S.: Slower, Older, but Smarter
The END. 6/6😎

A small #Story which is a fine example of presence of mind. 🧠
A Professor👨🏫 started his class on a very serious Topic. The moment he turned towards the blackboard, one of the students🧑🎓whistled. He turned, looked at the class & asked the Whistler's name. No one answered. 1/8
The Professor kept the Pen in his pocket saying: "Lecture ends here. I'll tell u a story to utilise the remaining time". 2/8 (story source-FB)
"Yday night I tried hard to sleep💤, but it was miles away from my eyes, so I thought I'd better get petrol in my car, which will save time nxt morning & might induce sleep. After having my tank full, I started roaming in that area, enjoying the peace of a traffic free ride. 3/8
One stormy night many yrs ago, an elderly man & his wife entered the lobby of a small hotel in Philadelphia, USA. Trying to get out of the rain, the couple approached the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night. 1/11 Story #Thread
“Could you possibly give us a room here?” – the husband asked.
The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple & explained that there were three conventions in town. “All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said. 2/11
“But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.” 3/11
Not sure how many of you remember there was a Detergent bar called #501 from the house of #TATAS.
It had a bright yellow packaging. #Thread#Investing#Finance (1/4)
It was A Tomco (Tata Oil Mills) brand those days. It was named 501 because Tomco chief Jal Naoroji, a nationalist, felt it could do one better than a soap called ‘500’ which existed abroad. The soap was also priced right for the masses at Rs.10/100cakes. 2/4
Later the levers brand wanted to kill the Indian brand & priced their brand below cost which was Rs.6/100 cakes. Jal naoroji didnt bother & waited but in just 3months, the lever company raised their price as they could no longer continue selling below cost. 3/4
Why I bought this Stock which was making so much negative news w/its vaccine ? #StockMarket#Investing
#AstraZeneca is ranked 12th in the world & has a market cap of 100.57B. They have a huge portfolio of drugs to treat diabetes, cancer & respiratory problems. 1/5 #ASTRAZEN
So I had the belief that few issues with covid vaccine might not work negatively for a company which had such high profile drugs in its kitty.
On 4th jan 2021, #ASTRAZEN made a high of 4910 & it slowly started retracing. 2/5
This was when #Covid vaccine was out after all trials & approvals. But in Europe & other places there were cases of unusual blood clots w/the vaccine & naturally the stock started falling. On 9th feb, stock was trading at 3745 & it caught my attention. Support identified 👇3/5
She managed to amass a $9.2m fortune whilst spending her entire 67 year-long career as a legal secretary. @dmuthuk#Investing#Thread 1/8
Even her closest friends and relatives had no idea she had amassed such a sum, until, upon her death in 2016, her will provided for $8.2m in donations to various charities for needy children. 2/8
But how did she accumulate such a massive pot for someone who never earned more than a secretary’s salary? By all accounts, she was a frugal person, living in a rent-controlled apartment in New York and avoiding all trappings that come with wealth. 3/8
This is the motivating story of Billionaire founder of #FedEx. Born in 1944, Fred Smith is crippled by a bone disease as a small boy & watches sports from the sidelines. Regains his health by age 10, becomes an excellent #football player & learns to fly at 15. (2/8)
Fred smith was in yale university & had an idea of overnight delivery service which was reliable. He had a great plan & wrote down the idea in great detail & presented the same to his professor. His professor gave him a 'C" for his submission. 3/8
