Business Desk, Etv Bharat: You may already be in the festive mood as the 10 days Ganesh Chaturthi celebration has begun.
This elephant-headed, pot-bellied, broken-tusked god is immensely popular in India.
Lord Ganesha, who is commonly admired as the remover of obstacles and worshipped at the start of every enterprise and ceremony, can teach you impeccable finance management too.
Here are some of the practical learnings one must absorb from the lord.
Learn and invest
Let’s start with his big head. It teaches us to always have a quest to learn.
For example, making a good investment plan requires apt knowledge and learnings.
Therefore, it is always a good idea to keep observing and evaluating the pros and cons of your investment options to draw good returns.
Focus is the key
Lord Ganesha's eyes are small and sharp.
They teach us to stay focused and alert.
An investor should always try to focus on the minute details of the financial plans, be it an insurance plan or portfolio to avoid unwanted hardships.
Treasure the smallest
We should learn to value the smallest resources we have from Ganesha’s vahana which is a tiny mouse.
Making sure of using even the smallest amount of money to its fullest potential is a practical lesson to emulate from the lord.
Accept both profits and losses
An investor should always be strong enough to accept both profits and losses as your investment plans may not always yield good returns.
Here, Ganesha's big stomach teaches us to digest the bad and good phases of a financial decision.
Sense the risks and be protected
Lord Ganesha is also revered as the remover of obstacles or Vighnaharta.
Thereby, one should always sense the risks and difficult phases of life to deal with and stay protected.
Here, opting for relevant insurance covers to keep your loved ones and yourself safe makes sense.
