Values

Had a few episodes of dealing with the youngsters recently. Somehow, I'm amazed at how they see the value of money nowadays.

I had to work hard at earning my own keeps. No matter how much or little I make, it comes with my own 'sweat and blood!'

I was approached to be an investor for a venture. After listening to this young chap selling his 'idea', I had a few questions for him. Of course I have to, right? To understand in depth his business concept and the probable returns. And for what he said, killed the whole discussion apart.

"This amount is nothing to you what. You earn so much. Can't you just help me out here?"

This completely blew the deal off. Whether I'm rich or not is not the onus in deciding whether I should invest. Yes, it does determine my ability to invest. But he needs to justify business sense to me! What he is telling me is that I can afford to lose this amount of money and I should help him for the sake of ……? …….helping him!!!??? What ludicrous thought!! He simply sees my money as easy money!! Where are his values?

I can continue to grumble as much as I can….. and look at this beautiful world…..

PS: I'm not rich as the young chap thought to be.
