When i first heard that each share of Google inc was valued at a mind blowing $474 i was taken aback. Imagine you owned 1000 of these babies, would equate to a hefty sum of $474000, nearly half a million, whoa ! That comes up to about two and a half crores.
I was under the assumption that google's share was the most expensive, then one of my colleagues let me in on a bigger secret, the price of Berkshire-Hathaway A-class share, brain child of one of the worlds richest man Warren buffet was valued at a meager $125,ooo. Now 10 of these babies would make some luck person a millionaire. Warren owns a 38% stake, a person who is know for take over of financially weak companies and turning them into profitable ones. He also has done all this by steering clear away from Technology and IT companies.

The job !!!

Education hasn't really been my strength,I was never the type of person who was excellent at academics, through out my life the grades i received where quite mediocre.Teachers hated me, my friends mocked me and my parents irked by my behaviour and attitude towards education. Since the Indian Education system is based on the 'Rote learning' system i never got a chance to do something purely based on my personal interests. Like other kids i never wanted to become a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Unlike the cliched society i wanted to do something different.
Most of my lecturers considered me to be unintelligent and dull, all they where looking out for students who would flatter them with praises and always be at their disposal. On the other hand i was completely lost trying to find out what i wanted to do.
First there was science, the subject which i despised the most. To get out of it i took up commerce. Though commerce was not that hard i barely managed to clear my subjects with good grades Finally after pursuing a degree in commerce i gave up. What was left ? ARTS. After months of deliberation and contemplation i decided to do a course in Journalism.
Though not being the best of writers this subject interested me a lot.
One this am very sure most of my friends from school who pursued what every one did are not really happy . so remember most things in life do not have to go according to plan. Just be positive and remember - everyone has a place in this world , don't fight for it , it will come to you.
