Shant Investment Plan
An old farmer and his grandson lived on a farm. One day the grandson said, "I try to read the Bhagavad-Gita just like you but I don't understand it much. And whatever little I understand, I forget it very soon. What is the use of reading this book?"
The old farmer quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and said, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."
The young boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back home. The farmer asked him to try again, and again. But every single time, the water leaked out of the basket before he got back to the house. Finally, he said exhausted, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"
"So you think it's useless?" the old farmer said, "Look at the basket." The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket to a new clean one, inside and out.
Investment Lesson
Similarly investors who start their SIP don't realise its virtues (benefits) initially.
But nurture it with patience and discipline and over a period, the benefits of SIP will emerge just like the sun emerges at dawn brings light and prosperity to our lives.
SIP always rewards people with discipline and patience by providing delayed gratification.
