Ohhhh!! What an achievement!!

Another rich kid revamps his family business and has his mug plastered on the first page of supplements like Bombay times.

I really don’t understand how much tough it is for all those journalists out there to find a single kid who went from nothing to something.

Instead they find it easier to feature a story of someone who just built up on something that already existed.

Just because someone has a successful enterprise doesn’t mean you have to feature it in an achievers list.

They have to note their background.

Coming from a background, where it is easier for parents to, let their kids set up their own businesses, makes things a tad easier, not to mention the various industry contacts.

While achieving decent success in his/her business, in spite of middle class upbringing which focuses on security than challenge, is more note-worthy.

This takes me to the achievements of Mr. Vijaypat Singhania.
Not long ago, he broke a record.

My simple point here is, though it was courageous for an old man to do something like that.
He is still not doing anything extraordinary considering the press coverage he has got.

Because what he had done, could have been done, even by a person, 30 yrs. younger, with a bit of practice, luck and courage.

But the money factor plays a big role here, because I don’t think there are too many courageous people out there, who can even afford a plane ticket let alone flying in an air balloon.

To conclude I would say, it’s high time we stop focusing on rich people and their pointless achievements.

Because not only do they have it easier than most of us, as they have more time and money at their disposal.

They are also making a point that we people will always remain below them.
Be it in terms of achievements or bank balance.

What do you say??

Hey Sanket,this is czuee..
I agree completely with you over this. According to me,success is to rise above yourself,from where u start is your benchmark.How far u go frm there determines your success.n it is different for different people.Like if a beggar's son becomes a chaiwala n goes on to own a small shop,tht's sucess for him....
