DELAYING GRATIFICATION

OF

THE TWITTER GENERATION

Please, can you stop to consider this INEXPERIENCE. The World around is reeling. USA is in a tail spiral. Do you know about the street protests mounting and growing, everyday ! If Americans look their disposable income and if irrational pessimism sets in, an economic panic will gyrate. What then will happen to the Chinese manufacturing model? What then would Chinese do with their goods? The black economic darkness will wipe out Free Trade. And that will doom the World !

Also consider what the German chancellor Angela Merkel recently said on the Euro-Zone debt crisis "EUROPE IS IN PERHAPS THE TOUGHEST HOUR SINCE WORLD WAR II." Greece, Italy and Spain are all reeling inverted. And France finds itself in a dangerous mood. Frankly nobody knows what to do. The World is about to unfold !

In Pakistan, we are fragile. Inflation is rampant, the manufacturing base dying out. Labour is violent and depressed while the value of our currency is in a free fall. 

All of us are duty bound to help build the mentality of savings. We should discipline ourselves to avoid the instant gratification and instant access mind set. We must train ourselves to delay gratification for a better future and for our future generations. 

Latest research shows that self discipline improves good short term memory, which is associated with being able to project yourself into the future and plan for it. This is the prerequisite of saving. This is the crown of a great society everywhere. 

So we must develop a talent for saving. Only this mentality can see us thru to a great and prosperous destiny. Save on everything ! Every great nation must run its course ! Good night and best wishes !
