Samarth Setu Year - 4 Issue - 21 Sep.-Oct. - 2018 For spreading happiness The path to reach the pinnacle of success Everyone wants to reach the pinnacle of success. But why? Though a human being wishes, he may not be successful. Well, the reason is something to ponder about. A human being can t give up his wrong habits. Why? A human being is considered to be the architect of his own fortune but it is mostly witnessed that most of the people decide on the basis of the situations that encompass them or on the basis of the people that influence their lives in one or the other way. They live under various pre-conceived prejudices or notions that their luck, god or planetary conditions affect them or their decisions. Such people are hardly aware or conscious of their wonderful inner strengths! Let s try to learn from a small formula as to how this can be changed. Firstly, if we desire to change the results of our actions, our actions are the ones that need to be changed and actions change when we change our own decisions. If we take the right decisions, we can definitely get the correct results. A wrong decision would invariably lead you to a wrong or undesirable result as our decisions decide our destiny. Hence, a human being can be considered the architect of his own fortune only when he can take good as well as correct decisions as our decisions design our destiny. For e.g. various students studying in the tenth standard have various ways or options to choose from: 1) Arts 2) Commerce 3) Science 4) ITI 5) Diploma 6) Giving up studies or taking a drop from studies. Their destiny after a span of a couple of years is largely depended on the decisions that they will take. Just think and ponder over the fact that your current position or status is the outcome of the decisions that you have taken in the past ten years. However, most of the people don t know how they take their decisions. We will try to know about it in the next edition. - Samarth Management

Seven Steps of Wealth Generation: Step 6 Any investment should be made after preparing a map of planning or in other words, a proper planning precedes any kind of investment When we wish to construct a building, we prepare a plan of it, make an estimate of expenses and time required for it and then only after a proper and thorough consideration, we start the work of construction. Similarly, it is necessary to prepare a map for the financial planning of the essential requirements of life. If the plan of life of any human being is prepared, it is going to be more or less as follows: Financially r h rñ bpv$ free, even after retirement Dependent on parents and family Independent Family depends on you 0 to 25 years 25 to 30 years 30 to 60 years r h rñ Need bpv$ to earn Z L$dphp u after retirement S>ê$f$ Financially r h rñ bpv$ dependent on others after retirement The above-mentioned matter clearly suggests that the stage of your life from the age of 30 to the age of 60 is completely dedicated to the responsibilities of your family and the financial planning carried out during this stage of life will either put you on the path of progress or may hamper the progress of its smooth journey. This phase of your life will also determine your life after your retirement i.e. around the age of 60. At this stage of life, we have to determine the requirements of our future which is known as financial needs in English. To determine these financial needs, answers to some questions are very essential. 1. What is the monthly 04 expenditure of your family? 2. How much money will be needed for the main responsibilities of your family such as childrens education, the occasions of their marriage and also for your retired life? When will a particular amount be needed for each of these purposes? 3. What should be the financial provision for contingency? 4. How much money will be needed for the repayment of loans (if any)? Let s try to understand this with the help of an example: Shri Ram is 32 years old. His wife is 30 years old. They have a son, Ravi, who is 5 years old and a daughter Gita, who is 2 years old. All the goals mentioned above can t be
Financial target At what age will you need? How many years are left? Today's requirement Real need at that time Ravi's education 17 years old 12 years 2 Lakhs 3,60,000/- Ravi's wedding 25 years old 20 years 2 Lakhs 5,30,000/- Gita's education 17 years old 15 years 2 Lakhs 4,15,000/- Gita's wedding 23 years old 21 years 2 Lakhs 5,57,000/- Household Monthly Expenses Retirement age 60 years Note: Inflation rate is assumed to be 5%. Financial target When will it be needed? 28 years 10,000 monthly How much amounts will be required? 39,000/- monthly How much savings do you have to do monthly? 8% return 10% return 12% return Ravi's education After 12 years 3,60,000/- 1516/- 1332/- 1168/- Ravi's wedding After 20 years 5,30,000/- 926/- 732/- 576/- Gita's education After 15 years 4,15,000/- 1221/- 1033/- 872/- Gita's wedding After 21 years 5,57,000/- 883/- 688/- 534/- Retirement fund After 28 years 58,50,000/- 4903/- 3448/- 2403/- Total 9449/- 7233/- 5553/- Note: The rate of interest receivable on retirement fund is estimated to be 8% and PF, CREDIT Soc. etc can be selected. compromised with. If we have to start saving for all these goals from today itself, we can understand it from the above-mentioned table as to how much amount is to be saved. As per the above-mentioned chart, if you want a return of 8% on your investment, you need to invest an amount of Rs. 9,449/-per month. Similarly, if you want a return of 10% and 12%, you need to invest Rs. 7,233/- and Rs. 5,556/- per month respectively. If we prepare a map of investment in this way, we can achieve our financial goals easily. However, bear in mind that your savings have to be consistent and you must control your urge to withdraw any amount. Secondly, there are circumstances which are beyond our control such as death, permanent physical disability, serious illness etc. We must protect our family from such unforeseen circumstances well in advance. As per the above-mentioned example, the requirement for life insurance in his case for all financial goals and economic safety are as follows. In addition to this, we must have a Mediclaim Financial target Ravi's education 2,00,000/- Ravi's wedding 2,00,000/- Gita's education 2,00,000/- Household Monthly Expenses Essential Life Insurance Protection Gita's wedding 2,00,000/- 15,00,000/- Total 23,00,000/- and insurance for any serious illness to keep our valuable savings intact.

Quality In Work We have already discussed about the two parameters in the previous edition i.e. Quality in experience and thoughts. Now let s discuss Quality in actions. First of all, it is very important to create a sense of consciousness about our routine actions and how we carry out them. We carry out three important actions: 1. Physical actions 2. Verbal Actions 3. Mental Actions And we perform these actions in three ways: 1. We do those actions ourselves. 2. We make others perform those actions. 3. We support others actions. Thus, it is necessary to think sincerely about the aspect of Quality in nine types of actions. 1) Physical Actions: We have our complete control in such actions so if we make all our physical movements in a conscious manner, they become qualitative. If we adopt the techniques of Time Study and Motion Study, we may complete many actions in a very short time and that too without getting tired. 2) When we make others perform physical actions: Unless another person has a clear understanding and knowledge of our intentions and until he becomes one with the system of work, he won t be able to give justice to it in the best possible manner. Hence, unless we guide him, make him aware of the result of the actions or create favourable circumstances for him, we can t expect a qualitative outcome from him. 3) Supporting actions performed by others: The festival of Diwali is just a few days away. Diwali, despite being a festival 06 of light, many people will fire crackers and it will result into pollution. If we don t make people aware of the consequences, we too become responsible for pollution. Similarly, if we find someone performing an undesirable action and can t make him realise it, we have only ourselves to blame for his action. 4) Verbal actions: We perform innumerable actions verbally but are not really conscious about the choice of words. One such example of this is the quarrel that results from abusive language. Such abusive language is invariably the root cause of many evils. 5) Making others perform through our verbal action: When we tell someone, Please let this be known to Maheshbhai, we actually, inspire others to act in the same manner. As a result of that, our words spread without their essence being properly realised. Hence, sometimes some messages lose their meaning and on the contrary, some meaningless words distort the actual message and the actual message doesn t get conveyed in its originally meant form. 6) Actions carried out by supporting or acknowledging others through words: When we say, This country will never progress, by speaking so negative, we not only support the actions of others but others also knowingly or unknowingly spread this negativity and the situation becomes rather worse. On the other hand, some words create history. For e.g. Britishers, quit India. The remaining three actions are carried out mentally. These actions are nothing but your thoughts. We have already discussed Quality in thoughts. By reading it again, it will be clearly understood how to evaluate quality in your thoughts as well as in those of others.

Humanity A story bout the human being within a human being A very deep subject of Humanity is explained through inspirational incidents of humanity in this book. On each page of the book golden quotes on Humanity are quoted. For e.g. Humanity means when a human being witnesses the pain of another, feels the very pain himself and is able to relate to him. Mercy, Hope, Help, Love are the fundamental elements of humanity. What is Humanity? It is a magical herb that blesses the very human birth. It is humanity when you lower the volume of your TV when you realise that it may disturb the concentration of a student in your neighbourhood. When you open up your purse to help a needy neighbour, even when you yourself is facing finacial stress, your action reflects humanity. To be able to feel the pain of others is humanity. Let s learn about an incident. Albert s father was a priest. He was always benevolent from his childhood. He grew up to be a great philosopher. He attained a lot of success and wealth. Once it so happened that Albert was on a visit to the backward villages in the European forests. He was shocked to see their plight. They lacked the basic facilities of food, shelter, sanitation and education. The people of those villages couldn t Book Review 'Manavata' a beautiful book by Shri Raj Bhaskar, provides inspirational anecdotes to imbibe human values in our life. Shri Hiteshbhai D. Patel, IT Department, shares a few gems from the book. face even ordinary diseases and died due to lack of treatment. After Albert returned from those villages, he decided to quit his flourishing career of a proven writer, a great philosopher Shri Hiteshbhai D. Patel and a pianist. He made up his mind to be a doctor. He studied for seven years to be a doctor. His wife Helen also supported in this noble work. Both of them purchased, out of their savings, the necessary medical equipment and medicines. They settled in those thick forests and started treating the villagers free of charge. Friends, this was just one of many such incidents. Nobody is unaware about Mother Teresa and many such great people who were the greatest epitomes of humanity. We should be inspired from the incidents of humanity from this book and treat any of our friends, neighbours or workers with love, care and respect. 07
