The secret of getting ahead is getting started
Once there was a big corporate company in Delhi by NCR. There was a dhaba across the road, run by a man named Raju. The dhaba served very tasty food. There was a manager in a nearby corporate company whose name was Krishnan. Krishnan decided to have his lunch from the dhaba. He wanted to have the signature dish served in the dhaba. Krishna and Raju knew each other for a very long time. Krishnan used to work for another company in the past still he paid random visits to Raju's dhaba since then, so they knew each other well.
While Krishnan was having his meal, he said to Raju that he is doing quite good with his business and Krishnan congratulated Raju for his hardwork and the way he manages the things. Krishnan was really impressed with the progress Raju made in his business. Finally, Krishnan added that Raju is wasting his management skills, if Raju could have invested his efforts in a company Raju can be a manager like him. Krishnan's intentions were so good. Raju replied, you may be right but I must say when you started your salary was 10000 rupees. If I look back I started with food on wheels and barely made 1000 rupees per month, I had no capital and now I have a restaurant of my own. I am sure in these 10 years your journey would have been really well and you will be earning in lakhs I agree to it. You work for someone else and earn it and on the other hand I work for myself and earn 3 lakhs per month. I do everything for myself and I am earning much better considering where I started. Krishnan after listening to Raju he started to rethink. Raju continued and said the effort I invested here is for my children's future. I don't want my kids to grow up and start where I began. I want them to have a better start when they think of a career. In the future my kids will take over the business as restaurant owners, while your kids have to start from where you have started. Your company's owners' will have kids and they will take over and become your boss. They will start working as employees and my kids, at the same time they are owners. Now think, who is wasting their time in their life.
We should foresee the future and invest our time and effort
