VG Siddharth An Eye Opener story

Why VG Siddhartha gave up like many others? Programmed to handle successes but not failures. 

An Eye-opening story of VG Siddharth 

There was a very brilliant boy. He always scored 100% in Science. Got Selected for IIT Madras and scored excellent in IIT. He went to the University of California for MBA. Got a high-paying job in America and settled there.

Married a Beautiful Tamil Girl. Bought a 5 bedroom big house and luxury cars. He had everything that makes him successful but a *few years ago he committed suicide after shooting his wife and children.

So, WHAT WENT WRONG..?

California Institute of Clinical Psychology Studied his case and found “what went wrong?

The researcher met the boy’s friends and family and found that he lost his job due to America’s economic crisis and he has to sit without a job for a long time.

After even reducing his previous salary amount, he didn't get any job. Then his house installment broke and he and his family lost the home. They survived a few months with low money and then he and his wife together decided to commit suicide. He first shot his wife and children and then shot himself.

The case concluded that the man was 'Programmed for Successes but he was not trained for Handling Failures'... Now let us come to the actual question, What are the habits of highly successful people?

First of all, there are many people who will talk to you about success habits but today I am saying to you, even when you have achieved everything, that there is a chance to lose everything, nobody knows when the next economic crisis will hit the world. The best success habit according to me is "getting trained for handling failures".

I also request every parent, please not only program your child to be successful but teach them how to handle failures and also teach them proper lessons about life.

Learning high-level science and maths will help them to clear competitive exams but knowledge about life will help them to face every problem. Teach them about how money works instead of teaching them how to work for money.

Help them in finding their passion because these degrees will not help them in the next economic crisis and we don’t know when the next crisis will hit the world.

The huge message that we must teach every child is that Failure is neither crime nor the end of anything... In fact, they must be taught that "Failure is the only delay of success"...just as we don't abandon our journey on finding steep roads or roads with potholes... Likewise, in life, also we must be prepared for the worst when we are at the best.

For example, let us consider a person who earns 30000/- a month if can manage to save 15000/- through his discipline expenses and another person with 3 lakhs earning per month could not discipline his expenses even around 3 lakhs, it is for sure that the 30000/- per month person could find a bright future than the 3 lakhs earning person within a period of minimum 10 years from now.

Another example, suppose a person is in economic crisis who was earning 300000/- per month if could successfully contain expenses to 30000/- forgetting his previous lifestyle, then chances of bounce back is high or certain.

In a Nutshell, management of funds is just like driving a vehicle. You need to go slow at times and even need to apply a brake on different occasions according to the traffic situations. Similarly, if you can manage your expenses accordingly to the situation, it would be easy to come out of any "grim situation"
