1 cr or 6 month spare time to read 60 Books : I wll choose Books
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Year 2003 to 2008 & Luck
I started getting involved in financial around 2003 , still i remember first day i entered in broker room where people were shouting to buy & sell shares, i was mesmerized by environment of computers, people, screen changing fortunes of people with every tick. It was great for few years until reality of Lehman brother crisis strikes when few leverage positions were enough to wipe out capital. Once everything settled and I did introspection of my last 3 yrs, i realized going was good as it was pure luck becz i just didn't have any idea how to pick stocks, how to manage risk, process behind wealth creation, asset allocation etc , good time was there as markets overall was doing very well until crises in 2007-2008.
Year 2008 to 2011, Flipkart , Online books & Process, Learning started
In year 2008 , i ordered lot of books from flipkart (Startup dat time) & other online stores, downloaded lot of books, got it printed , don't remember exact number but around 30 books related to financial markets. Everything started changing, Everything i read , i tried to implement in very small scale, it started giving me reasoning , process behind wealth creation. Webinars, going for conferences , presentation everything started playing important role as everything what i tried to implement in financial markets whether it was success or failure doesn't matter , it started giving me reason for failure & success.
Books : Teacher; Guide & Friend
Books play a vital role as a teacher, guide, and
friend in our life. Without books life is impossible. Books are the manual of
life. Books share our pain, books guide us to lead the future with confidence.
Year 2011 till today, Investment in Knowledge pays Best Interest
The CEO of Berkshire
Hathaway, Warren Buffett, when asked once about the key to success, pointed to a stack of books
and he said “Read 500 pages like this
every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest.
All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.” I owe everything what i have achieved in my life so far is through books & there is no substitute to knowledge. I don't remember exactly when everything got compounded & whatever earning i m getting , its due to interest from investment in knowledge. Money will come & go, but if you have right knowledge & ways to implement, money becomes subset of knowledge
