Cut-to:
Year :2001 or 2002 or 2003 or 2004 (It doesn't matter because i was in same situations all these years)
Interior/Day/My Home/Chennai
After the semester exam results on seeing my marks i feel i could have done better by studying daily rather than just studying on the exam night.So i just browse through syllabus books to see the portions on each subject,then i would say to myself,"anyways its damn tough this year and i have to study daily or else there is no chance of 'Even Passing'".After one month,forget about studying daily,i haven't even bought the books to study,now again i make a schedule and "Time fits exactly" to complete the syllabus.So i think its time to be serious.Two months later,i am now thinking why buy books..? when u can take xerox...? i make a revised schedule "Time fits exactly" to complete the syllabus.Three months later,time for study holidays,have not even xeroxed now i think y xerox it alone when all u friends can pool in money because anyways we are going to study together and moreover when u xerox,u can remove staples and five people can read five units at the same time.what an advantage..?(i was a PCTO (product cost take out-PCTO) engineer since then.Its now time for making a schedule "Time fits exactly" to complete the syllabus.Although the earth rotates in the same speed this part alone gets invisible and vanishes in no time.Just three days before the exam,suddenly u feel some kind of heaviness,anytime u get such panic attacks there is one solution, make a schedule "Time fits exactly" to complete the syllabus.so u realize these subjects are actually easy and you can study even before the exams and u say to urself "let me start studying for the first exam".This is only decision i start 'Following.'Following' means not studying,its jus now u are clear what is possible and hence u start sitting with those xerox and books related to first exam.
After four years,Even before i had left my college my knowledge has evaporated,there are very few engineering concepts that are still hanging around with me.Later in my life when i was working on any kind of an engineering problem ,never did my mind trace back to a particular xerox which i had read. it always went to some book which i borrowed from library,a book bank or my own books.Those things which had been bought through proper source of money(Father's Hard earned income) and things which are used to buy original things stays with you for long time.Thats the kind of knowledge that sticks,rest of the things just evaporates,i cant tell you how its true,you have to feel it for yourself.There is a certain amount of enjoyment and a lasting effect to anything that has been bought original.This works with music,movies,books,tutorials any thing on earth.Thank god,the compounding effect between time and money is a bit slow or else i would not have cleared my papers in college.Compounding effect could either grow as in banks or it could evaporate if in used wrong ways.
This same thing works when Money is a function of time.Like how "time fits exactly" in all situations "Money too fits" exactly in all situations. I used to spend thirty bugs to watch a movie in sathyam cinemas when i was in college,i was happy,it fitted perfectly.When i was working with sathyam computers i used to spend three hundred bugs to watch a movie. whats the difference..? Difference between these two different periods of my life is the difference between "Bus journey and Bike ride" , "10 rupees ticket and 150 rupees ticket", "Coffee and cappuccino".so what makes time and money fit at any point of time. "Expectations", if we can control expectations we can get money fit wherever we want to and have them play according to our need.if we don't control expectations based on the money we have,it controls us and forces to earn,struggle and make us run through in our lives.
Controlling "time and money" is controlling life
