KABIR DOHAVALI

कबीर सो धन संचे, जो आगे को होय.
सीस चढ़ाए पोटली, ले जात न देख्यो कोय.
Here also Guru Kabir comes out with a wonderful and profound advice to guide us all through the life. Guru Kabir asks us all to ameliorate our forte at things which will help us in the long run and not only satiate our current desires. Kabir asks us to prepare ourselves for future and acquire the type of money that will assist us in the long run and will not vanish up in just a few days. He says that nobody would ever take up a pile of money on his head that will go on for forever. As nothing in this world lasts forever, so does the money. One day every single penny you have got will be dissipated, the things which will never be obliterated would be the skills you acquire in your lifetime. If you are rich, one day you might end up with almost nothing as the money that you have today will not be there next year, or the year after the next which eventually means one day it would end but the skills you acquire will continue to serve for you till the day of your demise and hence money is valuable but skills are priceless.
Here is an example of the guy who failed for around forty years of his life. His father died early, his mother had to remarry and unfortunately his relationship with his step-father was one of the worst relations of the life, he moved out of the town and became a bus conductor but was fired, he went ahead to work as a laborer but was soon fired, he went ahead to work in a railways network but soon the network crashed, after that he worked for an insurance selling company but was fired after getting into a brawl with his colleague, his wife left him away with their two daughters because he had no money, after that he studied law but his career ended soon after he got into a heated argument with his own client, after that he invested his whole life savings into a lamp making firm but after just a few days the whole technology changed and his business was completely destroyed. After so many failures, anyone of you would have ended up his/her life but then this guy realized that he had a potential of doing something which he has never taken up as a profession. He had a great art of making chicken fries and then he started this thing as his profession and what followed ahead was marvelous. This forty year old guy started his own company which we all call KFC and I don't think I need to say anything more about this company.
What I want to focus on here is, that when everything else forsook him, there was just one quality of his which was nonpareil and that thing never left him away. Just like Colonel Sanders (the man behind KFC, whom you also see on KFC's logo), develop one thing, one skill that will never leave you away because Bruce Lee has said
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.""
