And the circle continues...

These days people keep on talking about things without really going into the history. Oh! This family is the one that owns everything. They do everything in the world.

But do this people who believe in all these stories full of conspiracy theories actually know ABC about the families that they are talking about?

Were these families not like ours to begin with? But they earned money because they worked hard and used their brains while others were busy doing God knows what. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. I know that God has given me a brain and two hands and I can win anyday.

And no, I don't believe in the power of families and that oh! they are doing this etc etc.

How can they do this?

Simply because they have money.

But why?

Well, others want part of that fortune.

Why?

Well, it's easy money.

Whose fault is it?

It is the fault of that family.

Why?

Their faut because they have money.

Why do they have money?

It's ancestral property.

How did they get that property?

Their ancestors gave it to them.

How did their ancestors get it?

Their ancestors gave it to them.

And why don't you have that much money?

Our ancestors didn't give us anything.

Why?

They didn't have anything.

Why?

....

Why?
....

Why?

....

Yes, no reply. I am not talking about people who were tortured and were targets of genocide. They have managed to rise above that.

The poor of this world are those whose ancestors had the opportunity but... God knows what was more important.

Chandragupta Maurya was a poor boy. But he rose to found a big Kingdom. Why? Simply because he accepted and respected the teacher who found him and helped. He worked hard on that path. God had given him a brain and two hands. He used those.

If your ancestors didn't do anything, it is not someone else's fault. Is it?

If you don't do anything, then you will continue this whole story till eternity. Your descendants will be in the same state in which you are. Whose fault will it be?

Of course, that of others.

Why? Why not yours?

You complain about Rockefeller family?

But do you know the first man that we are talking about?

His name was?

Sorry, I didn't get it.

....

Oh! You don't know. Was he really rich?

....

eh... again this lack of reply. Why?

...

So why do you keep complaining about these people?

They are rich and they rule the world.

What stops you from getting rich?

I have no money. I didn't inherit anything.

Does that mean that you can't create a paradise of your own?

That's really difficult.

So it was easy for the Rockfeller family?

Well, they have it.

Now, just have a look at this one -

http://www.forbes.com/sites/carlodonnell/2014/07/11/the-rockefellers-the-legacy-of-historys-richest-man/#4749aa2c60e7

The Rockefeller legacy began with a 16-year-old bookkeeper in Cleveland, Ohio, whose greatest ambitions were to earn $100,000 and live 100 years. His formal business training included a ten-week class in accounting, as well as a con-artist father who was known to say, “I cheat my boys every chance I get. I want to make ‘em sharp,” according to the biography John D. Rockefeller: Anointed with Oil... (Please click the link to read more)

Now think, who was the first one of this family to earn a lot of money? A man who worked as a bookkeeper at the age of 16.

Was he born rich?

Doesn't seem so. Else he wouldn't have worked as a bookkeeper. Do you think he did it just for fun?

So please think before you start spreading stories. If Rockfellers are rich today then it's simply because they used their brains and two hands that God gave them. But God gives those to all human beings. We have the same opportunity. It depends on them.

Complaining won't get us anywhere. We must use the brain and two hands that God gave us.

It's our turn.

Let's do it.

No need to be violent.

Just brain and two hands. A lot of intelligence and hard-work.

Are you willing?

Or do you just want to complain, complain and complain...

It's difficult.

I'm sure it is. It must have been difficult for William Rockfeller too. Or was it fun?

Think before you speak. Think before you accuse.

Think.

Jealousy Reigns in the heart of 'Modern' People

Some people don't study hard when they are kids. Why? God knows why. Maybe they are too lazy. Then when they are older and can't earn the same as those who got educated they start shouting that it is unfair.

I am not being inhuman. I am being realist.

I know some people who worked hard when they were children and today they are leading a comfortable life just like any educated person does.

One person, of higher caste (oh it's so important for the press) lost his father when he was 6 years' old. His parents were poor and he was not an only child. He had no choice but to sell second/ third/ fourth hand used books, magazines and newspapers on the road when he was a child. But he didn't go home and sleep. He worked hard and he studied hard, too. Of course, given his poverty he didn't have the money to go to private (called Public in India) schools. He studied in a government school.

He worked day and night. Then he succeeded in breaking that bond that stopped him... the bond of lack of education.

Today, he is an example. I consider him to be more successful than I have ever been. I am proud of him (though he is not from my family but is from my family of living beings as is taught in Hinduism). He is a human being par excellence.

We tax-payers pay taxes. Government uses these taxes to operate government/ municipality schools where children can study for free.

We, in India, have book banks in schools. Children can get books from the book banks because once you pass the class, you don't need the same text-books in the next class so donate it and other children can take and use the same books.

These are not created by aliens but by human beings… no, not by foreigners or by people of another religion, but by us.

But some people don't use these and then you cry foul because some people are better off than you today. But did you work as hard as they did?

I remember the story of Dheerubhai Ambani. He was not from a rich family. He was a poor man, too. But he worked hard… really hard. And thanks to his work and intelligence and ability to risk all that he had, today, his family, his children are rich.

So why should we feel jealous of him? Did he steal something from our house? So many people work for Reliance industries. Of course, they are not as rich. But where would they be had Sh. Dheerubhai Ambani not done anything, not taken any risk?

Several years ago, they made a movie about him. Of course, it never became a blockbuster. Maybe it's not 100% true (as it is a movie) but still it taught me how important it is to work harder.

Look at today's politicians who cry unfair because Ambanis are so rich. Your parents didn't do anything that is not Ambanis' fault. You can do something so that your children have a better life. Of course, you are not Ambani. Do little that you can. Don't depend on others. That's the lesson we learn. We have to work hard. Dreaming is not enough.

Hard work is the key to success. Of course, you can't succeed a lot if you are not intelligent and/ or if you don't study and work hard as a kid.

Two examples: Examples of people of different castes. But their lives were difficult. If they succeeded, it was because they were intelligent and hard-working.

You may say that I am lazy but I am not rich. But I am not materialist or jealous of the two either. I am proud that in India poor people can become rich if they are intelligent and hard-working. Of course, some politicians and materialists will keep shouting against the Ambanis because they are rich and those who shout are from middle class families. I won't. My happiness doesn't lie in money. I have enough to eat. That's enough for me.

My role model has never been someone like Ambani.

My role model was and is Madame Marie Curie. She led a difficult life but I would have loved to be at least half as good and happy as she was with little that she had.

What about you?
