) and 20% by early environmental influence. EQ (mostly the ability to identify
and manage our own and others' emotions) is influenced by genetics and our
early childhood experiences. One’s genes may influence how sensitive you are to
emotional information, according to new research by a neuroscientists. But it
can be improved a lot through later learning.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-large;">C</span>hildhood poverty is beyond one’s control, but it can be
overcome fully in later life with personal initiatives. billionaires Like Oprah
Winfrey, the richest black woman in the world in 2021, and many other rich women
grew up in poor families. They have proved that family wealth isn't necessary
at all even to become billionaires. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-large;">A</span>mong the world’s top self-made billionaires are known names
like Jack Ma who struggled throughout his early career, failing three times to
get into a college, and facing rejection from over 30 odd jobs after
graduating. He became an English teacher before he founded Alibaba, a tech
business, which struck gold and made him a billionaire.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>S</span>ameer Gehlaut is
another billionaire who founded Indiabulls, an Indian conglomerate, Its housing
finance division is the second-largest mortgage lender in the country<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-large;">T</span>he latest Forbes Billionaires List puts the total number of
billionaires globally at 2,755. Some of those on the list made their fortunes
through inheritance. But research has found that the majority of the billionaires
are actually self-made- 68% of the total. Heredity does not decide your
financial status of life. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-large;"><b>T</b></span>here are billionaires who became so from doing various types
of business and there are film actors and other celebrities became billionaires
too. A number of today’s billionaires/millionaires<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are CEOs, business experts, or top-level
executives of large corporations who had very humble beginnings. Poverty or
wants need not stop you from going up. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: x-large;">I</span>f 68% of the world’s truly rich are self-made why not you
too become rich? Well, not everyone can become wealthy. There are a number of common
traits like courage, statesmanship, decisiveness, vision, passion, patience,
risk-taking ability, long-term-investment-nature, etc. that are found among the
wealthy. It is hence reasonable to assume that only if you have such common traits,
you can become really wealthy. Do you have them? Please go through the
questionnaire below and tick yes or no against each question. Once you complete
answering all, look for the score at the bottom. (We assume you know to read
and write with at least average IQ and with a healthy physique, all senses
working normally.) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="color: #ffa400;"><b> </b></span></span></span></span><b><span style="color: #990000;"> Questionnaire</span></b></p>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(some of the points here are mentioned in my book, Success Through Positive Thinking (Pusthak Mahal, New Delhi)</span><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Being godless is simply a great thing</b>. </span>We do not have to
enslave ourselves with the nonsense beliefs and magical rituals of religions. We know everything is over with this life. The moment our brain stops functioning, that
is the end of this bubble. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being godless there is no illusion of an afterlife, allurement
of a heaven or the fear of a hell. We can go in pace having lived our lives to
the full. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;">Where are we going? Why are we here? Where did we come from?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Why bother about all these clutter</b>?</span> We are standing on firm
soil and the world is full of beautiful things.
Everything happens here so very naturally and in perfect harmony. The moon rounds the earth; the earth rounds
the sun with its moon and the sun with all its planets rounds the galactic
center. This has been going on in absolute precision for the last 4.5 billion
years! A seed germinates with tender
shoots to grow into a big tree. A baby gets birth and grows just like an old
person dies. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Life is a wonderful gift. </b></span>We have been lucky to have been born
in the 20<sup>th</sup>/21<sup>st</sup> century with all the modern comforts and
scientific advances. The older generations could not even dream of what we have. Yes, there
is a lot of pain, failures and losses in our lives. We have a lot of blessings too. Even if our
blessings are less, what is the point in crying over it? There are a few who are blessed with lots of money,
fame, talents, or looks. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The game of
life is played down here that way. You can brood over it and become sad. Or you
can choose to be happy irrespective of what you got. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Oprah Winfrey</span></b> once observed, 'the more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is to celebrate in
life.' <span style="color: blue;"><b>Helen Keller</b></span> was deaf, mute and blind. Still
she thought she was blessed and tried to cheer those who were only blind! <b><span style="color: blue;">Mark Ingles, </span></b>whose legs were amputated below
the knee in 1982 as they were frost-bitten while stuck in a snow-cave for 13
days during mountaineering, feels there is a lot left to be thankful about. He
is grateful he is alive and he conquered Mount Cook in 2002 and Mount Everest
in 2006. These days he is travelling around inspiring others to enjoy and appreciate
this life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>An anonymous poet has sung:</b></span> ‘if your arteries have hardened
and arthritis have slowed your gait, if
your dancing days are over and if any other condition afflicts you, think of
others with more pain like the fellow in the wheel-chair, or the one without
hands or legs……’ There are so many who cannot hear a symphony, see a bloom, or
even know his/her own parents. You are far better......'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Are you happy now? This is all that matters. The richest
person on earth--let it be <span style="color: blue;"><b>Bill gates, Carlos Slim, Mark Zuckerburg, </b></span>or anyone
else, they all want to be happy every moment of their lives. They may not be as
happy as you are now. We are to be happy here. Everything points to these 9
letters arranged in this order: <span style="color: blue;"><b>H A P P I N E S S. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Enjoy this moment: start savoring everything good in life.
More money need not necessarily make you happy. You have so much to be happy
about already: this world that gave you birth in this century, your dear ones, your
friends, those who help you and so on. Problems will get solved, dark clouds
will swim away. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Say a thank you to
anyone who helps you and thank the universe, this earth and your parents</b></span>, who
gave birth to you, your partner, grandparents, teachers, pets, computer,

blooms, panoramic views, a rainbow, <o:p></o:p></div>

thankful and happy about.<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>The</b></span><span style="color: red;"> universe is not bothered whether we live or die , whether we are sad or happy. </span> And we are allotted a millisecond in the universal time scale. Why not we try to be happy while we are here? Is it not this moment that really matters? Life is
lost when we worry about future and mourn about our past. When we live in the
present, we will enjoy life, trusting it will be better tomorrow and feeling we
are a part of the universe. We are born to merge into the universe after our
death. Whatever little energy and matter
we have in us will merge with the universal energy as we die. </div>
