On a Monday afternoon I was watching this movie Jerry Maguire, a Tom Cruise 1996 movie, A guy who worked for a sports management company, and looking at the way the business was handled of various athletes, he doesn’t like it.
The company throws him out of his office, and he has just one athlete who stay with him, believes in his ideas. With him there was another colleague who believed in Jerry’s idea. This is not just about the movie. I wish to now divert it a bit to me, I’m also broke, lost a job, but haven’t lost my faith and belief, and not giving up on a single opportunity.
I have a few thousand in my hand, and all of that I’m investing it in various businesses such as clothing, imitation jewels, financial services. These are all basic work which a normal commerce student can do.
I have been having my tough times for quite sometime now, at times there have been moments where I have had the tendency to run away from everything in to exile. But a winner never gives up and so do I.
I started my financial consultancy on facebook called as F.I.A. – Financial Investment Analyst, as I have almost 9 years of experience in capital markets and have been a decent investor, not a trader.
I also now on first week of march plan to start of my clothing venture called as Indofice Clothing, again a online platform biz. It is where I plan to launch a low ranged dress materials for ladies for basic day to day office or home wear. A plan to keep a price range of INR 600 to INR 1500/-.
In addition to this I also will be starting off with Jewels De Imitación, an imitation jewellery online store via facebook, with the same price range, again for daily office wear.
Where does Jerry connect with all of this?
Well he taught me something which I know but didn’t know so well.
” NEVER LEAVE THE PEOPLE WHO STOOD BY YOU IN YOUR WORST TIMES “
” HAVE FAITH IN WHAT YOU DO “
” HAVE FAITH IN YOUR PARTNER OR THE PERSON WHO SUPPORTS YOU IN WHAT YOU DO “
” NEVER GIVE UP IF THE WHOLE WORLD GIVES UP ON YOU “
” LOVE THOSE WHO LOVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE, WHAT YOU DO, WHAT YOU WISH TO BE AND WHERE YOU WILL BE “
” THERE ARE VULTURES IN THIS WORLD, THEY WILL TEAR YOU AND EAT YOU APART, SO IN YOUR WORST TIMES, NEVER BE ANGRY STAND BESIDES THOSE WHO ARE ALWAYS THERE TO HOLD YOU. “
” AND LAST AND NEVER THE LEAST DON’T FALL FOR SYMPATHY AND FALL IN LOVE AS IT WILL DESTROY YOU, AS IT MAY HAPPEN AS YOUR BROKE LOOKING FOR SUPPORT, AND WHEN THAT LOVE LEAVES YOU, YOU WILL AND I BET YOU WILL LOOSE EVERY BIT OF CONFIDENCE IN YOU ”
Never Give Up, that is my attitude, what is yours ?

Hi Karan, very nicely written and co-related. There are lot many peoples having gr8 ideas in mind and want to work on it. However they are afraid and don’t want to take any risk… The dialogue “Risk to Superman ko bhi lena padta hain” is for this sake only.
What I think, calling somebody zero means neglecting… I have also left a good paying job with a big corporate. The best thing have learnt from this movie and real life is, Be prepared for everything worst, expect less, do more and be focused. If somebody is neglecting you, making fun of you or your ideas or running away from you, do not bother much about it… Such things makes you strong.
