Timeless lesson on wealth

A well-known Scottish proverb, " The father buys, the son builds, the grandchild sells, and his son begs" , is undeniably a timeless lesson about wealth, family fortunes, and even financial discipline.  This age-old saying reflects how wealth collected by one generation can gradually disappear when later generations fail to keep, manage or grow it.  This can be directly correct in view of that country's experience. Such a marked disposition does not appear in India if we try to analyse it. There are so many instances in our great country where the careless son wastes all the wealth of his father. He even fails to show the same dexterity just to maintain his father's wealth.  Here the Sanskrit proverb seems to immediately apply. It points out plainly that wealth slips from one hand to another in just a long period of twelve years. Some mighty minds do not hesitate to say that the capability of the next generation holds the family wealth with all the glory. Therefore, i...

Performing duty sluggishly

 


Low-paid, weak-statured security guards in their light sky-coloured, heavy uniform look sluggish in their assigned duties at their particular place of assigned duty. This fact looks precise, at least with them. It can be clearly said that they prove to be good for nothing people. They show little regard for their responsibilities.

There floats a general feeling that their good performance depends on a handsome salary. It is practically correct with them. But a few masters rely on hiring a bit cheaper sluggish weaker and useless guards just for the show.

Their attentiveness can be understood with this fact that quality of work is not kept into consideration. Only care lies upon hiring a  cheaper person, who can't even walk in a bit proper manner. 

 Water pouring out of the water tanks appears needless and of little concern to them. They do not like to run to turn the switch off. Who appreciates such guards!

Even though they are fully aware that water is beginning to stream out of the filled water tanks, they continue to lie in their deep slumber mode until the worried inmates of the building cry out for disconnecting the running underground pumps to stop for the time being.

This remains a wholly irresponsible attitude of the lazy guards. They know very well that the salary they have been receiving is not up to their explicit expectations, so they observe complete laxity in their routine performance of the duty. 

Wastage of water is always considered quite wrong. However, they do not appear to fully understand this distinct, extremely vital fact. The easy-going guards perform their daily duty sluggishly; residents more often stand saying this flawless point.

 The guards care a fig about the water flowing unnecessarily. They are supposed to be aware that water starts flowing out from the filled-up tanks, but their slumber does not end to switch off the running motor. Things are even more weighty. We are more or less living through supposedly the worst heat.

None is concerned enough to care for their duty a little bit more efficiently. They appear to be lacking efficiency in their routine duty physically, emotionally, psychologically and even to some extent quite deliberately. This looks easier for manager are more lax.
