I am not sure how many of you are involved with the stock market, directly or indirectly, but, I am pretty sure, almost all of you might have heard about it. There are many lessons to learn from it. Even, our life is pretty much like a stock market, going up and down in cycles of good and bad phases of life.
About the stock market, people use to say, let the market run on its own and do what it has to do, let it go wherever it has to go, you don't instruct it to behave according to you. Rather, you just need to ride on the wave, either upward or downward wave. That's how you become profitable. You should enjoy your rides thoroughly. Similarly, in life too, you should enjoy your rides, whether it's upward or downward. You don't dare to tell life, to stay in the good phase always, because, it's simply not possible. It needs to stay in equilibrium always. So, it has to go in the waves. Hence, we should learn, to see both the good and bad sides of life, as we cannot avoid the bad side. And, we should happily accept both the phases of life.
The stock market teaches you patience. It teaches you discipline. Simply coming to early conclusions is not good and healthy. It prepares you for that. Similarly, in life, we should not jump to an early conclusion, just by looking at some signals. Early signals may be good for speculations and can be used as warning signals. Only, if you get some solid confirmation, you should move to action. You should have a solid confirmation about the news you are going to talk about or the political topic you want to discuss with your friends. We should always be ready with all the proofs with us, to say something. We should not simply speculate on things. Unless you are not sure about something, don't say it. Wait for the proper confirmation.
Let the life unfold itself in a manner it wants to in front of you. You don't tell it to unfold in this or that manner. It will unfold in the manner of your karma.
