Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.
Everyone must be prepared to establishment himself and it must be the duty of the parents to ensure that they have produced children and they have also established them and they are not dependants upon others. For that purpose, it is the duty of the parents to ensure that their children are given proper education, proper training and they are adjusted at work from where they are carrying a handsome income with which they are in a position to run family administration. The people who fail to establish their children are failures in life and they cannot be said to be successful parents.
If some shortcomings are there, it is our duty to complete those shortcomings and ensure that we are earning honestly. Honest earning must be our first duty because if we are indulging in scams, scandals, muddles, taking illegal commission, taking bribe, indulging in embezzlements and mis-appropriations, we shall be committing crimes and we shall be always under a fear that one day we shall be caught, brought to police station, then tried in a court and there are chances that we may be sent to jail. There are people who are never caught, but such people too remain under a fear and they shall not be enjoying the money they had collected. In India we have been told that some of our people had been indulging in illegal collection of money and that money is now deposited in Swiss banks under fake accounts and one day the people of India shall be bringing that money back and that money shall be confiscated to state exchequer and shall be spent for the welfare of the people and those who had been depositing these sums shall be deprived of the collections so made.
We must be honest in our dealing. It is the desire in each one of us to have more and more money because cost of living is going high. But it does not mean that we should start collecting money through illegal means. We must be on the right path and we must try to know more and more methods through which we can earn more money. Our aim should be to earn money and not to collect money and when our motive is to earn, we shall be finding more opportunities through which we shall be earning more money. There are thousands of trade, occupations and employments through which we can earn more money and we must select a right path from the very beginning and our parents must help us in choosing a right career which would enable us to meet the higher cost of living. Right choice of a career is the beginning point for becoming rich.
