Investment on Emotional balance

Investment is basically, you spend something to get the one you need in return. There are a million ways you can invest your money, but this blog is a bit different. This blog talks about the expenditures which are actually investments. The ones which you think didn’t bring anything back, but your sub-conscious mind did get something in return. That’s investing on your emotional balance. 

This is a bit tricky cause not everyone accepts this as an investment. What we don’t understand in today’s fast paced world is that we lack emotional balance. I do talk a lot about emotions and control of emotions as your brain cannot do the needful when it doesn’t get enough relaxation. We are humans, and what makes us different from machines are emotions. Working on those emotions is a part of our life, and there is no need to get depressed that you lack the enthusiasm or the will to do your work compared to others. Emotional threshold is different for me compared to you, and maintaining my emotions to that threshold is my responsibility and choice. 

I tell all this cause there are instances where I spend a bit more time relaxing than other. People quickly judge you on it and you lose interest on your day-to-day life. What you don’t understand is, your efficiency on work is also a bit different from everyone. If your colleague works for 4 hours to complete a task and takes 2 hours in between to reset, you might be able to finish the task in 2 hours. But, the other 4 hour rest is also crucial to reset yourself. What you do now is you keep thinking about your pending tasks in those 4 hours, not able to reset and also not able to work once you get back to it. 

The other side of the discussion is, you rest too much and that’s addiction. You watch too many movies or play too many games, which eventually eats into your work hours. The crucial part is to know whether it’s an addiction. One solution I’ve found for this paranoia is, if you are on your work and you still keep thinking about your game or movie, that’s addiction. You relax to reset. When you are addicted, there is no reset. Of course, this is my way of finding out my addiction. But, do remember that pin-pointing your addiction and trying to work on it is the way to go. 

All in all, you are to take care of your emotional side too. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.

Today's content is provided by one of my BTech friends, Prathibha. Have a look at today's blog from a girl's perspective. I thank Prathibha for supporting the project. Invisible Pressure Our generation of students seems to be having fun and enjoying life, but we too are under the constant pressure of planning our next step. This has been way too much to handle and is leading to frustration for the masses. If you are a girl and you get a job, you are put on a schedule. Plan for marriage, then kids, then their education, and back to the start of their marriage. If you are a boy and you get a job, that very moment you'll have to take up the whole responsibility of family and handle everything as fast as possible. These pressures are building up in our minds and bring out either Bad results or A lot of frustation. We do understand the reason for our parents creating this schedule of life, but we all need some time to adjust. We only need a couple of things. Responsibilities...

Spending money is hell lot complicated than what I thought of it in my childhood. Every time I pull out some money from my pocket, I think whether to spend them or not, and I think even more after spending them. Planning to spend those bucks was very hard for me. The following two people helped me a lot on where to spend and where to save. Rohit Neelakantham Rohit Neelakantham      I met him at Idealabs. I knew him for about 4 days. We both were travelling in his car. As you all know, I just keep talking all the time. I asked him about his job and stuff. Then, I started asking about his car (Ford Ecosport #dreamcar). He was like, "I used to teach tuitions in my college days. I saved all that money and paid downpayment for this car which was around ₹.2 lakh." I was like, "Holy shit! You saved 2 lakhs from the fee you got from tuitions." He replied, "Yes. It probably took years, but I did save. I always had a dream of buying a car with my own money, an...

THE Journey

Lets read a story You with two of your friends who stay at Bangalore planned for a trip to Coorg. You have been planning it for a really long time, but schedules weren't supporting. At last, you three found time for an awesome destination. Three of you started at 5'o clock in the morning. On your car, way to Coorg. Weather was a bit windy, but you three were excited. After travelling one third of the distance, it started drizzling. Halfway point, it is raining now. Three of you have no thought of returning. You will complete this trip at any cost. You reach the destination and it's raining heavily. Took a room in a hotel, slept for the night. As you woke up in the morning, it is a thunderstorm out there. Whole day, you three weren't even able to go out of the hotel. So, you stayed till evening with some hope to visit at least a fraction of Coorg. Nope! Not happening. Whole day, it rained like it hasn't rained in years.  Successive day, early in the morning, ...
