Chinese Proverbs For Entrepreneurs
July 29, 2012 9 Comments
1. “In every crisis, there is opportunity.”
Most entrepreneurial ventures arise from a solving a problem. If you are faced with a problem, craft a solution and sell that solution to others.
2. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.”
Entrepreneurship starts with an idea and ends with a destiny. You craft your destiny with your actions, habits and character. You make your destiny, it doesn’t make you.
3. “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
Aside from 20 years ago, there is no better time to start a business than today.
4. “If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want ten years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want one hundred years of prosperity, grow people.”

Do you know if you are a HNI? Or if your income makes you rich in India?
Envy and jealousy are pretty useless but there’s nothing like goal setting to get where you want to be wealth wise. It helps to know just where you stand.
According to the National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER), you are rich if your family’s annual household income exceeds Rs 17 lakh.There are 3 million rich households in India comprising some 16 million individuals.So 1.38% of Indians are rich in income terms.
However income doesn’t equal wealth just as being rich doesn’t mean being wealthy.For more on this distinction please refer to this older post here: https://wealthymatters.com/2011/01/26/the-definition-of-income-and-wealth/ . Read more of this post
