The Boastful Entrepreneur and other fail stories…

Okay so anyway, as you know, entrepreneurial presence is everywhere. Before, whenever you heard the word ‘entrepreneur’, something huge would come to mind. A multi-millionaire business tycoon who owns a huge company. These days, you can find an entrepreneur at every corner. An entrepreneur is someone with a real substantial idea or mission. Creative also.

I’m not taking any names here, but I’ve come across a certain individual who’s…different. In what sense? Well, it’s what you call ‘pride’ and ‘arrogance’. Bragging about how much revenue their online business generates a month. (Honestly, it’s pretty good for a startup and for a student also). So I asked, what all do you do with it? Save it? (Which is the smart choice). So this person says to me, “Oh yeah, I buy some nice things. Plus I mostly eat out, so majority of it goes there.” We were just discussing monthly expenses and he was pretty surprised as to how low maintenance I was due to my small streams of income. He was pretty shocked. He’s like, “Oh that’s sad and blah blah blah.” Dude, just because somebody doesn’t have a side hobby/business with an okayish revenue doesn’t mean you should talk down to him. The superiority complex comes into play when ‘dough’ is involved. That’s not cool man. You’re constantly bragging about how you’re going to change your phone pretty soon and implying that you can buy the ‘good stuff’. A little too much. Now what’s the fail side of this individual? Well, class starts and this person doesn’t even have a pen to write with. Sad, whatever happened to all your disposable income that you couldn’t afford a measly 5 RUPEE pen?! It’s about time people should put their feet back on the ground and get their heads out of the clouds. Focus on NEEDS later, then fulfill all the WANTS.

Another fail story, big shot preppy guy in Math class. Hair spiked up, designer specs, sneakers, the work. Not to mention the BlackBerry (jump on the bandwagon society), in white! What do you know, another stationery dilemma! “Hey man, do you have a pencil?” “Oh yeah sure, just return it after class.” *bell rings* “Hey man, can I have my pencil back?” *he frantically fidgets and checks his pockets, drama of course. Just moments before, he snuck the pencil in his pocket. Shakes his head, “No man, I probably gave it to you.” And I just thought to myself, “Who is this guy kidding? He thinks I was born yesterday? How cheap and low, seriously.” So I just went away. I never saw that pencil again.

The thing is, buying stationery isn’t an issue. The main issue is, people BORROW it, but never return it. It’s against general ethics. Not returning something after borrowing, you defaulter. Oh well, all I can say is, as the words of Mr. T go:

“I pity the fool.” :P
