Experience!! Money!!!

Money has no memory. Experience has.

We will never know what the total cost of our education was, but for a lifetime we will recall and relive the memories of schools and colleges.

Money has no memory. Experience has.

Few years from now, we will forget the amount we paid to settle the hospitalization bill, but will ever cherish having saved our mother' s life or the life you get to live with the just born.

Money has no memory. Experience has.

We won' t remember the cost of our honeymoon, but to the last breath remember the experiences of the bliss of togetherness.

Money has no memory. Experience has.

Good times and bad times,

Times of prosperity and Times of poverty,

Times when the future looked so secure

and

Times when you didn' t know from

Where the tomorrow will come…

Life has been in one way or the other

A roller-coaster ride for everyone.

Beyond all that abundance

and

Beyond all that deprivation,

What remains is the memory of experiences.

Sometimes the wallet was full…

Sometimes even the pocket was empty.

There was enough and you still had reasons to frown.

There wasn' t enough and you still had reasons to smile.

Today,

You can look back with

Tears of gratitude

For all the times you had

Laughed together,

And also look back with a smile

At all the times you cried alone.

All in all,

Life filled you with experiences

To create a history of your own self,

And you alone can remember them all.

The first time you balanced

Yourself on your cycle without support…

The first cry…

The first steps… The first word…

The first kiss of your child…

The first gift you bought for your parents

And the first gift your daughter gave you…

The first award…

The first public appreciation…

The first stage performance…

And the list is endless…

Experiences, with timeless memory…

No denying that anything

That's material cost money,

But the fact remains

The cost of the experience will be forgotten,

But the experience never.

So, what if it ' s economic recession?

Let it be, but let there not be a recession to the quality of our life. We can still take our parents, if not on a pilgrimage, at least to the local temple. You can still play with your children, if not on an international holiday, at least in the local park. It doesn ' t cost money to lie down or to take a loved one onto our lap. Nice time to train the employees, create leadership availability and be ready for the wonderful times when they arrive.

Hey! Aspects like your health, knowledge development and spiritual growth are not economy dependent.

Time will pass… economy will revive… currency will soon be in current… and in all this, lets don't look back and realize that we did nothing but stayed in gloom. Recession can make us lose out on money. Let it not make us lose out on experiences… If we are not happy with what we have, no matter how much more we have, we will still not be happy.

We can Make a statement with the way we live our life: How I feel has nothing to do with how much I have.
