Let me tell you a story about a man named Janak, a civil engineer, belongs to a middle-class family and happily living with his family. One day a neighbor came after his house, he was looking like a rich guy, and no one was knowing about that guy. Janak always observed that he would show his money and cars. Janak was very jealous of that guy, it's a human tendency that we came across these things for some time. Janak can't afford expensive things like his Neighbour but the evergreen human tendency to show off drowns him badly. Janak started adjusting money from here and there and the sinking process started and ends badly. The Neighbour of Janak was declared a fraud and robber, hiding in different places, it was discovered when Police caught him in public.


So the moral of the story is that what we always see is not true and there is no competition for showing off.

The only competition that should matter to you is of becoming a "Good Human".


Today's generation believes in flexing more than hustle.

Today we think like if we show off others, they will treat us good and our personality will increase, but truth is that no one will be observing you that much, that you think. In end these things won't matter, the thing which will be important is the number of Good and Bad Deeds instead of the size of your empire.

We shouldn't take out the moral of someone's story without knowing the complete story.


At last, I have to share a story about a boy, who learned and correct himself-

This story is about a boy named Yash, a shy boy from a middle-class family. He studies well and earns good grades. School kids around him wouldn’t match his level of grades so they started to mock him with their family wealth. One such kid, who was Yash's neighbor used to come to his house with a nice bicycle, he taunts him and goes away. The next day, Yash sees him getting a new car at his home. He ignores it and lives his life.

But after a few months, Yash’s parents bought him a new phone. He was very happy with it and started to download all the social networking apps that all his friends were on.

He started watching feeds from different people, having costly things. Yash also got hooked on watching “influencers” and “entrepreneurs” who flaunt their cars and watches. He saw all the wealth that was around him, he became a fan of one such personality too. He used to watch his video, having costly drinks, jewelry, and all the wealth.

Slowly, this became a habit for him and he got more depressed with what he and his family had. His friends whose wealth doesn’t seem to matter to him in the past started to hurt him.

He started to be angry at everyone and used to cause tantrums for small things.

But one day, he saw the news on Facebook that the celebrity he followed had filed for bankruptcy. His wife left him, he had no one around him anymore.

A few months afterward, one of his friend's dads got arrested for money laundering.

This made him realize just how temporary money and fame are. One day you are all good flexing, the next day there is nothing.


This made a big impact on Yash's life. He started to make real friends in schools and appreciated what he has.

Just Trust Your Vibes and Be Happy with whatever you have, your quality will matter, not quantity. The more you water your life, the greener it will become.
