There’s never going to be a precisely right moment to speak, share an idea, or take a chance. Just take the moment—don’t let thoughts like “I don’t feel like I’m ready” get in the way. Look to see if you have the main things or the opportunity will pass you by. Don’t let perfect get in the way of really, really good.—Kathleen Tierney, President of Berkley One

A tiny seed dreamed of reaching the sun. It pushed through the rock, splitting its shell. It stretched towards the light, reaching higher and higher. Finally, it broke through the surface, basking in the sun's warm glow. But instead of a vast world, it found itself in a pot, surrounded by other plants. The seed realized its dream of reaching the sun wasn't about how high it grew, but where it grew.
Moral: Happiness isn't always about achieving something grand, but finding joy in where you are.

The happy seed

Never regret, If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.

Apart from "life is short" which other lines do you use before you make bad decisions.

for me. i spent college studying for grades and 20s making money in a job I don't like, but never got to make the memories I should've with all my friends. I regret doing all of that

what is your worst mistake professionally?

If we are spiralling, let's spiral right

1. Focused solely on grades in colleges
2. Thought Campus placements were ultimate goal
3. Spent 3 years in a company with 5% increment (once), because it was comfortable
4. Scared to ask even minimum budget while negotiating salary
5. Overthinking every step, still not taking actions to correct or fuck up anything
6. Major major regret - not taking risk of starting own. It also has to do with parenting, but lets not blame.
7. Ran away from public sharing - speaking, athletics, all extracurricular activities for that matter. Kids grow up with zero confidence and looking fat & ugly. (I'm not fat shaming, some fat people look 🤌)

I'll add more, there will be more for sure 😂

Software Developer

Wasting time
Feeling acting weak
Not enough productivity

Even if actions
Not enough output on competitive level
Losing every single day

A turning point
Where the shell broke
A greater being was achieved
For he knew
The actions were the same always
It was himself that he changed

I have lost everything till now
And I am the only one who can get everything back from the shadows
But how
How to work 20 hours of work in 10 hours
How to  work despite being slow, sleepy, low health
How to achieve even after facing a mountain


Everyone are the best around
It was I who was the weak
For the regret was not the action
The regret was the shell not broken

The turning point of a life.

My bestfriend is going to the USA. She has gotten an admit to a very prestigious university for MS in CS. I have known her all my life and have had a crush for almost 15 years now. 

I never had the guts to say it to her because the timing was never convenient. We used to hangout together a lot. She was also in a relationship on and off with this guy. Maybe she did not see me as boyfriend material or I don't know. But I always wanted to be with her. 

I never looked at any other girl because I knew I liked her. So I waited and waited. Hoping that she would see me the way I saw her. She would love me the way I wanted to love her. But mard apni pasandeeda aurat ke lie kuch bhi kar sakta hai. So I decided not to confess my feelings to her. 

I did not want to jeopardise my friendship with her. But now that she is leaving for USA. I am scared we will not talk as much. Should I confess my feelings or let her go?

Passenger: "You only miss the sun when it starts to snow. Only know you love her when you let her go" ❤️‍🩹

My bestfriend is going to the USA soon. Should I confess my feelings to her?

Dude, if she's going to the USA, it means she has evaluated her options and is leaving. Leaving you is a part of that deal. What will you gain by confessing your love. Will she stay back? No. Will she do a long distance relationship with you while she has the world open to her in the USA? Heck no. Tata bye bye, keep in touch, move on with YOUR life, just as she is moving on with hers.

All the things that one has done so far at times you feel you could have taken different path. 
Could have studies different subject (AI/ML/Tech?) 
Could have started something of your own after passing out from college
Could have work harder on this which can give disproportionate returns( both personal and professional) 
Getting married early and investing as early as possible. 
I try to be grateful for things which I already have (and there are so many) but then there are moments where you feel you could have done better much better actually

How do you deal with regrets

I found an old form from 2013, my father had sent details
Annual Income - 8L
Education expense - 2.5L

He is retired govt empl so couldn't lie on numbers

I was in top autonomous institute, and my brother in good private school in Delhi

It hits me now, how I wasted my life 'enjoying college' and thereafter
Falling in and out of love

Parents never say anything on practical topics, just regular wake up early, eat vegetables rant

I fucked my life and how

Dying in guilt

There’s a lot of time for you too do what you wish to do. Guilt and regret are temporary, your actions are kinda more important. 
  
 We will always disappoint our people as every person is different. You did what you felt gave you happiness at that point. Don’t be hard on yourself. 
  
 Your parents will eventually be the happiest when they see you chasing your dreams and goals. Don’t regret anything. Just take it one day at a time and do what feels right. 
  
 Cheer!

Product Owner

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have been pursuing some aspirational products like Apple Watch SE, Airpods Pro 2, PS5 etc. since a long time. I go to the Amazon page and add it to cart but then my conscience questions me as to is it worth spending so much on it? I earn decently and live in BLR but still I dont fully understand to give my mind a valid reason for purchasing a 40k Watch that shows time, some metrics and some automation. Also 20k for listening music, 50k for playing games.

It feels as if is it sane to spend much on these personal material stuff? How do you folks look at this while making purchases?

How do you justify expensive purchases to yourself?

For some ps5 is not about price, it's about their dream to buy since college days (many ppl I know bought it) and same goes for other stuff as well.

Digital Marketer

Hello Grapeviners

So I guess I hit the mid-life career crisis and finally resigned from Microsoft abruptly yesterday. 

Reasons for resignation:
1. I am saturated with my work and feel out of fuel now.
2. No Pay Raise or Stocks since 2 years.
3. No Promo in last 2 years even after being a top performer and winning multiple awards and accolades.
4. Was promised by my manager that I will be promoted in Feb but now he/she quotes budget.

What my manager says:
1. You have a valid L1B, don't resign.
2. Says you will get the promo in September but now it is not possible.

Please Note: I resigned abruptly without any offers in hand. I guess managers think that folks who have L1B won't resign so their promo can be delayed.

Just wanted to share with the the community. Thanks 🙏

Resigned from Microsoft

Half of me wanna yell at you for being stupid, but other half tells me you know better about appreciation and promo thing within org. If you don’t regret it, it’s good then!
