In Conversation with my son.....we were at ice-cream corner and i just asked him why do you think we buy somethings for you and somethings we don't buy...? relishing his chocolate ice cream he thinks for a minute and says it could be budget planning and you buy what is needed...i said smart boy and asked him given a choice to buy a tennis racket or a fancy toy which one do you like to buy ? he said " off course tennis racket mom"...why? coz its required and i can make best use of it and play well. so what is that is making you choose it? he says my intelligence and brilliance to able to see what is required and what is not essential haha!! i said right so has it got anything to do with whether you have money or not or whether you can effort or not or is it to do with your wise choices or intelligence? he says if i need i get it..!! then he suddenly said i got it what you want to say...and i gave clearance again to ensure .... We normally compare in terms of possessing more and more gadgets and fancy toys and video games etc which make child feel the difference of Rich and Poor and that the more money the more you can buy whatever you want but i wanted him to understand that its our choice to choose what we actually see as required or can put to use rather then just posses for the sake of it . once you feel that a particular thing would help you grow and contribute to self and others which you feel is required then it comes to you. No matter how costly it is, its our choice and vision that decides our ability to have things or people in our life not the budget. so this feeling of oh i wish i had this and that which sharukh khans son has or ambani son has gets vanished when "you can see what actually makes you get what you want" !!!! got it???
