Soon after going to the desert, she understood this was the worst place to live on this planet. She did not like the locals and resists herself to mingle with people around there. As it was a desert, she could not have the proper food as everything had certain amount of sand mixed with it. The wind was so heavy that she could breath only sand everywhere. She can't bare that atmosphere anymore. So, she wrote to her father saying, she could not stay there even a minute and she is planning to come back home. Soon after she send the letter, she receives a letter back from her father with only the below 2 lines.
Two men looked out from prison bars,
One saw the mud, the other saw stars.
soon after reading these lines she understood how stupid she was as she did not try to mingle with the local and not able to look at the positive side of life and situation. Immediately, she changed her perception and started to speak with local people who were very friendly with her and even gifted her some art works which they made. This motivated her to look at the positive side of life and she lived there happily with her husband.
This was a real incident wrote by a women describing all her efforts and lifestyle she faced during her stay in mojave desert. It described how she looked at life at an entirely different angle just by changing her mindset. Nothing changed physically when she just changed her mind but her perception changed, her approach changed. This gave her positive thinking and happy life.
Similarly, many people in financial world think stock market is a gamble. It is their perception. It is up to everyone what they look at standing behind the prison bars. If they look at the stars, they will see a bright future in investing and trading. Rather if they look at the mud, they will see this as a gamble. Later may be after 20 years, they would think if they would have invested in 2022, they would have been a billionaire by 2042. I wish everyone not to look at things as mud which they don't know anything about. Once we build the knowledge on certain things specially in stock market we will see it as a star.
I wish everyone invest a small amount everyday in a quality business and leave it to grow in its own style and time. Do not think stock market as gamble and do not think everyone who invest in stock market will lose money one day. If we see around this globe, many people achieved the height of abundance wealth through investing. I wish the reader of this blog to invest wisely to gain abundance wealth through patience and continuous learning.
Look at the stars not the mud.
Have a Great Day
