SIP FROG

Two frogs accidentally fell into a bucket of milk when they were looking for some food. One of the frogs was fat. The other one is skinny.

The walls of the bucket were slippery, and try hard as they might, they just couldn't climb out of the bucket. Even as the thin frog kept swimming and kicking its legs trying to get out, his fat friend pointed to the futility of it all and said that they were going to drown. Keep swimming, said the skinny frog. Maybe someone will get us out. The fat frog thought it nearly impossible. No point in trying. He soon got exhausted, stopped swimming, and drowned.

Meanwhile, the skinny frog kept the faith and kept paddling, hoping for a miracle. And soon he felt something solid under his feet. It seems that all that swimming and kicking had turned the milk into butter. So gradually the frog was able to climb on top of the butter and jump out of the bucket.

"Milk" turning into "butter" was exactly like the Power of Compounding, which one sees in "investing", where sustained effort in systematic investing leads to wealth creation, which provides a base to jump out of poverty and pain.

The idea is to "never give up" and "keep going"; because knowledge, hope, conviction, patience, and SIP are the ingredients that create wealth. As you can see, none of the ingredients mentioned above require one to be wealthy to make wealth.

The Indian economy provides every Indian citizen with great opportunities in creating wealth. There are very few countries today with this potential; and over a period of a decade or two, even the India advantage will start waning.

Make wealth for yourself when the sun is still shining over this land of young consumers; a land of opportunities."
