Loved this thought provoking post from Alok Kejriwal whose an Indian entrepreneur and thought sharing and this was mainly geared towards the Indian audience...
These days, I see intelligent people bashing up the USA with arguments that make them seem deranged.
- The US$ and its decline are like some Armageddon.
In the Money supply, things fluctuate. (But the rupee only goes down.)
What these haters fail to realise is that the US$ is still "the choice" of the world. Heck - AK-47 dealers, the Pablo Escobars, Bitcoin miners, Nasdaq Index ETFs, H1B visas, all are US-dominated.
(When was the last time you saw a movie in which a kilo of coke was priced in rupees?)
The USD is not about technicals. It's about sentiment. It's about finding a safe haven. The US can print as much as it wants. Everyone wants dollarzzz.
- The bullying, interfering and dadagiri.
That's what rich folks do. They elbow out competition, they get deals that work for them, and they make people pay. They compete until death. They negotiate till someone starts bleeding.
Mao said, "Behind every great fortune lies a great crime".
I say, "Behind every fortune lies great muscle."
If you can't accept it, you're not destined to be rich.
- The "let's do it ourselves" vs let's make what we KNOW best.
After 20 years with Nvidia, we now wanna make chips start from scratch, just to be 'self-reliant'. We want to make everything that becomes hot. (Banana Chips would be a great export).
And we squander the opportunities that stare us in the face: the Taj Mahal, our cities, and our culture. (More people visit the Louvre museum than those who visit INDIA in 1 year).
Because we are Jealous, we want to make semiconductors (in the dustiest part of the world), and we don't care about tourism.
The best part? All this ranting and slandering occurs on Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Guess which country exports these products?
His learning: Wealth is built on respect and self-recognition. Not by disrespect and jealousy.
