Have you ever heard of this very famous saying in Kannada? For all those who don't know Kannada, here is exactly what it means " Girl, money and land/power has to come to you all by itself ".

According to me, it means that you should never be desperate for anything in life, especially a girl, money or land/power. You should just continue doing your work respectfully and wait till it eventually comes to you. My friend (chose not to mention his name) over-believes this saying and never tries to achieve anything and wants everything to happen all by itself. This is a wrong notion that most people who have heard of this saying carry.

I would like to express what I feel regarding this and attempt to clear out a few doubts here. First of all, I would like to ask you a few questions,

Will you get anything in life if you don't do anything to get it?
Don't you have any ambitions in your life for which you will do anything to achieve it?

Look at the saying carefully. It has three things which are essential to each one of us (Girl, money and land). It also says that those three things should come by itself. Now, what else do you badly need in your life apart from the above three things? Nothing much significant as the above right.

These are the only things that are significantly essential for any guy. The only other thing that is as essential is - Job. When you don't try to get these three essential things and hope they would come by itself, life becomes very easy and damn boring right. There won't be any thrill in a life without any challenges. Life loses its sheen when you get everything you want and it gets even worse when you get whatever you want without putting in your efforts. Don't you agree?

One more contradictory statement - " Power can't be given, it has to be taken ".
With money comes power. Similarly, power comes with the other two things too. So, can I now say that we have to try to get those three essential things?

I agree that sayings such as these are made only after a lot of thinking has gone into it. But, mis-interpretations do occur. Believe in this statement which is an updated version of the above saying - " Don't be desperate for anything in life, especially Girl, Money and Land/Power ".

Hope I make some sense to you.
Signing Off.
