Why our government, teachers and parents doesn't want us to be RICH?

RICH in experience and money this what we all want to be! But, does our environment which we live in, provide all the means and right experience for us to experience the RICHness of life?

Indians used to say "maatha pithaa guru theivam" or "Mother Father Teacher God"

Which means that we get our experience and education starting from our mother followed by father, teacher and God thus, we need to give respect and have a gratitude for them in the same order. I just leave out God here. In ancient times there wasn't any formal education so, kids get education from their parents and teachers based on class/caste. If your are from agriculture class you will get the hands on experience on agriculture while if you are in the warrior class you will get the skills of defence and martials arts. Things are different and changed during the Industrialized Age (I know we are in IT Age! But I don't want to get there yet, because we need to get out of Industrial Age mentality first before going to IT Age mentality)and our current education system is still based on Industrial Age mentality.

Ok, back to the title from old saying "maatha->pithaa->guru" lets change the sequence in a different order Government -> Teachers -> Parents/society* and see WHY they don't want us to be RICH!

*I added society because sometimes their influence is stronger than our parents influence, especially with the Social Networks like Facebook, Myspace and etc.

First lets look at our GOVERNMENT

Our education system is designed by our government (ever changing Education Ministry and their changing education policy), but the concept of education never changed for past 50 years! It is syllabus-ed for Industrial Age which means we all are a product of Industrial age education and those finishing school now are also will be a product of Industrial Age education. This education is design for mass producing working force for production and service industry specilist like technician, skilled workers, accountant, secretary, nurse, doctor, engineer, lawyers, or computer programmer. 'This are the people who know a lot about a little."
Students begin focusing on their academic strengths and taking courses with an eye towards high paying future careers. They are constantly pushed to be smart, study hard, and get good grades.

By time, everyone started to compete for higher academic qualification and high paying jobs resulted to highly educated left-brained persons. Right brain which is associated with pictures, art, music, and others like creativity & imagination is ignored.

If you ask a highly educated left-brained person for the definition of intelligence, he or she replies,"If you agree with me you are intelligent. if you don't you're an idiot."

We are not train to use our other hand skills in making or creating things, creating new ideas, arts, music and etc. All this is only optional activities or sometimes luxury activities for us and often ignored.

Being rich (financially or experience) means developing both brain in balance. If we talk about money for example, "If I ask you what is the difference between MONEY and CURRENCY?", not many can answers this question.

Even an A student leaves school knowing little. Most of us learn about money from people who also are not financially intelligent. This is why so many people have middle-class aspirations i.e living below your means, saving money, and staying out of debt.

Not everyone is getting financial education/education about money, even if some get financial education like accounting students.......they are thought and trained to work for others!


Next TEACHERs

In school teachers depend on fear to motivate, threaten rather than teach, imitate rather than innovate, punish mistake rather than encourage, play it safe rather than think bigger. I remember teachers saying to me" If you don't get good grades, you won't get good job." Though I got many As it only gave me half of the experience the another half was suppressed!!! Sadly!!!

Mistake and failure are rewarded with punishment! So we all became, play it safe professionals working until retirement.

BUT, in the RICH mans world "one learns from mistakes, not successes" The rich take big risk, take challenges and think big. Why the Japanese are so successful in creating new technology and cutting edge products........they love to make mistakes and failure.the more they make the more they learn and without giving up and stopping at first failure they repeat and repeat until there is a solution.


Finally PARENTs

So, when this poor students are back home.............. what their parents have for them....the same thing " Be smart, study hard, get good grades and get high paying job"

Some even go to the extend to fixed a career for their kids....I want you to became a doctor, engineer, lawyer and etc!!! Success is measure with As :8As, 9As, 10As" wows lots of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAs

And this ignorant parents doesn't know that " A students work for C students and B student work for the government"

I always ask kids "What you want to be when you grow up?" And the common answer is Doctor, engineer, lawyer or teacher no one will say I want to be a entrepreneur, creating new solution to a old problems or to be successful on doing something or providing a service etc, I want to do this or that. Their mind is already set to work for others. I am not saying doctors are not necessary but this kids need to think beyond doctor and develop other skill together so that even if they became a Dr. they will be RICH in $ and RICH in EXPERIENCE.

Nowadays, I changed my question!
"What kind a businessman or entrepreneur you want to be?"
"What how rich you want to be?"
I see a them freeze....without answers!

Look around, and you will see that most of the business man, successful entrepreneurs are C students. The statistic shows many billionaires/millionaires are either performed poorly in school or drop outs. This doesn't means you should ask your kids to fail but, just take balance to develop both the left and right brains and don't to carried away with As because the government, teacher and parents want you work for others, pay bills, save and be a middle class intentional and unintentionally!

Indian Bashing!

Recently I posted a article titled "Indian Gave Nothing to The World" in a Facebook group, although the title sounds negative, the actual content was intended give a sense of dignity to our community.

There were number of participants who shared their view and thoughts and with respect to those who participate in this discussion board........I would like to thank them their thoughts and opinion. It is all always better to get it direct from the people!!! 
Some of them expressed frustration........it is a good sign! Provided if, one can turn their frustration energy into positive energy by improve themselves and their surrounding. for example if you are frustrated seeing our community being poor you can turn this frustration into positive energy by becoming a entrepreneur/business man. If frustrated with our communities education level you can this frustration into positive energy by starting a tuition or educating your own kids.  

But quite numbers us here harbor negativity thoughts about Indians and like "Indian Bashing"...........This Indian bashing especially among Malaysian Indians is quite prevalent in many Indian social networks and social groups. Why there is so much negative opinion brothers n sisters? I am referring to some statements--->; "this stupid, lazy Indians and  ...etc? I am sure you all did not mean it!

I am very sadden to see and hear lots of negative attitude towards Indians among Indians. In my personal opinion this collective negative thinking is the main reason we cannot move on in life , make changes or break free from the past mentality. We are yet to release the power of our sub-conscious brain which if program with POSITIVE thoughts can do wonders!  This is the most power full of the three brains (left, right & subconscious). It does not think, but rather reacts, fights, flees, or freezes. It is a person's subconscious brain that ultimately determines of they are a success or failure in life, love, health and money. This is because subconscious mind is the most powerful part of the brain, especially in pressure situations. You can develop you right or left side of your brain but there not guarantee that you can be success full. You can be a Engineering genius by developing you left side or great arties by developing you right side but the destiny of ourselves and our community is determined by the total sum of individual subconscious brain/mind. SO be very sensitive to the you thought and your environment (your immediate family, friends, society) because your subconscious is programs and influenced by your own thought and the environment you life in.

Example;

People think differently when their subconscious is controlled by fear. If people are fearful they may say, "I can;t do that.What if I fail?" or That's risky." Compare that to a person who is in a fight-state subconscious, who might say, 'I'll show them. I'll get that deal just to prove I can do it." Can observe our children how many of them utter this positive words? Not many in my personal experience! Why we program this poor kid's  subconscious brains with negative thought like;

Indians are stupid

Indians are lazy

Indians are criminals

Indians are third class citizen,

Indians are poor

Indians cannot do business

Indians are like crabs (we are repeating this crab story for decades)

Indians cannot unite

the list goes on............

Let me make it simple and short.

Try repeating  "You are stupid/ idiot" to your children daily for few months or for a year!

What do you think the result will be? Your children either will behave stupid or lose their self-confidence in themselves although their are not stupid by birth!

I am sure you are not going to risk your children's future with this experiment. 


Again, are you will to repeat this word to your children every day?.............

"IF YOUR ARE NOT WILLING TO REPEAT THIS NEGATIVE AND HUMILIATING WORDS TO YOUR CHILDREN, THEN WHY USE IT AGAINST THE CHILDREN'S AND YOUTHS OF OUR COMMUNITY!!!"

" To utter harsh words when sweet ones would serve

is like eating unripe fruits when ripe ones are at hand" Thirukural translation by Swami Subramuniyaswami.

Make money online

Today I want to encourage you to learn for yourself about opportunities in the Internet. Unfortunately, there are very few genuine and good web site that are really serious about helping you to earn money. Basically, almost all money making sites on the web are scams.

Do not try something until really sure about it, do some research in the net and see whether any claims or complaints being made about the web sites. If some is too good to be true then you should know it! Nothing is easy even in the Internet, within second you can loose everything you earned. Under no circumstances should you give any money making site your credit card number!

You can start a blog for free, and monetize with Google AdSense and other third party programs which you can join and add ads to your blog. You can make some money by blogging but, it would be worth the time and energy spent unless your are a computer gig and can spend hours surfing the net and giving value added information to a niche readers. Anyway, you must try it too because you never know your own capabilities until you try it for your self. About AdSense please read my Sep 09 blog where I have given easy step by step on how to add AdSense to your blog.

You can sell any items at auction sites like EBay, Yahoo Auction, Amazon. If you have somethings that you are not using, want to dispose or a gift for your birthday party which you don't like, well there is always someone somewhere waiting for it! This is the most important thing that you must know, "There is always a buy for all the products ever produced" The only thing is who wants to sell it, if you don't someone else would. So decide for your self you want to be a buyer or seller.

You can offer to tutor students online. You can teach a student in US add math on your pajamas. If you have new approach and easy to understand solution to a same problem you can lots of money tutoring students. If your have writing skills you can write articles and submit to websites, like Associated Content.

OK, back to scams! First, never ever pay a fee to get a job. Many scams will want you to pay a registration fee, material fee or information fee. Stay away from this sites.

Your can make money online with affiliate marketing. All you need is a computer and Internet connection and the willingness to learn.

My advise is your start doing it by yourself and learn along the way. You might fail many times but never give up each time you fail the nature is teaching a lesson worth learning and experience worth acquiring.

You don't have to spend a dime in the Internet while learning and getting new knowledge, that is the beauty of Internet! Even many advance and professional free software are there for you to use. ( I will write about this free software in my next blog). Yes, I am talking about free web hosting site which gives you all the basic services that you need to start your first WWW experiences. Although the space will be limited you can learn allot from it. Of-course once you have acquired the skills and your business started to generate income, you can shift to a more advance paid web hosting. In this way you will never loose money or take out money from your pocket.

Before you start you need to ask yourself few questionｓ and give your sincere answer to it. What are your strengths? Do you like writing? Reading? Do you have any skills which can be useful for others? Can make or create things that others people would be interested to buy? How about hobby? Keep searching there something inside you!

If your want a specific guidance to get yourself started do email me at jayaarram@gmail.com. For most of us the starting point the most difficult so I can help to get started. Once your earned your first dollar, no one can stop you!
