Enthusiasm enlightens the mind and cherishes the spirit. But, an overdose of it tackles your wit and disrupts your reasoning.As an overworked body gets tired, an extra loaded mind denounces radical thinking.
The enthusiasm extravagant in the economical sphere has caused a difficult context and a gruelling strain.People,.world over ,are groping in pain and pulling on in shoe string budgets. References of stimulus and rehersals of the rescue are leading us nowhere.
An anecdote of my childhood days comes to my mind. as a girl of seven, I was decked with most expensive jewellery and dressed up in abeautiful south Indian apparel of pavadai and blouse, green Kanchi pattu with zari and a matching green blouse with chumkis and embroidery. I accompanied ,my mother to attend a wedding of my cousin. My mother had warned me not to participate in any play and be careful. I nodded my head coyly. I sat beside my mother, who was busy talking with her sisters and relatives. I ,saw my cousins ,playing hide and seek . I could not resist my temptation, I slipped from my mother, sight. I slowly mixed with my age group and forgot my mother,s warning. At the height of the play, one of my cousin , stepped on my pavadai, the kanch silk gave way. it tore . I fumbled and was terrified to see my mother, who waas still engrossed in the conversation. Tears roolled down, my eyes swelled up and my face got reddened,. I sobbed, my mother noted my precipitation. She came towards me, my legs got weary,I was trembling. She cast a severe look .Then took hold of my hand ,dragged me up the aisle.Her eyes looked daggers.
The investing community ignored all forebades and stop brakes. They wanted to make quick money ,and theydid make when the going was good. They should have blocked the locking of money is stoocks, when the markets tended to go down. They mistook the decline, as a time to buy more. More and more they bought, more and more they got trapped. The unpredictable economy tumbled, the investors also fell with it. The finance got nudged, so also the players who felt numbed. The stocks hit rock bottom, the marketeers ffell down . The economy looked daggers, the community of investors pose pathetic.
Had they listened to the voice of caution? Had they refrained from putting their money in the same basket?Had they paid attention to intricate definitions?Had they worked with determination?All these mishaps, all these turbulence, all these posterior reactions and all these indelible washouts would have been averted.
Over enthusiasm destroys wealth.
