Two Opposite Suicides: Courtesy RECESSION

Today's job market is as bad as above PICTURE.

If you work in your existing company you will die like the MAN and If you quit the job you will die like the FISH.

Warren Buffett's Advice For 2009

We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm and dented optimism. Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial illness that has infected our families, organizations and nations. Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial illness and help them recover their financial health. They expect the financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact that it is these experts who created this financial mess.

Every new year, I adopt a couple of old maxims as my beacons to guide my future. This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year, I grow wiser and not older. This year, I invite you to tap into the financial wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially wiser.

• Hard work: All hard work bring a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
• Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.
• Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income. [At least make your Investments get you second earning]
• Spending: If you buy things you don’t need, you’ll soon sell things you need.
• Savings: Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.
• Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender’s slave.
• Accounting: It’s no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.
• Auditing: Beware of little expenses; A small leak can sink a large ship.
• Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet. [Have an alternate plan ready]
• Investment: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
  

I’m certain that those who have already been practicing these principles remain financially healthy. I’m equally confident that those who resolve to start practicing these principles will quickly regain their financial health.

Let us become wiser and lead a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful life.

Cricket - The Victim, Whom to blame?

Six of srilankan cricket team injuired and four to five pakistan's security personells got killed when chunk of terrorists attacked Srilankan cricket team bus on their way to the Gadaffi stadium in Lahore. The obvious emotions which came out of people I know are anger, WTF phrase, Not Again!!! gesture and wait a minute, Why CRICKET?? Its just a game, damn it !!

As a cricket lover, I can't wait how the world of cricket going to react on this. Pakistan is a very good cricketing nation, it has entertained the game audience with its heroics in its past. I only expect nothing goes against it. 

But the big question, Whom to blame? Is it security or terror mind. 

God,  when will this world find peace?
