H-P-S: Key to attaining the best of life:
Diwali festivity is marked by offering worships to Goddess Laxmi, the ocean of Wealth and prosperity. It is said and is well proved that wealth is always relocating property, the more we go towards it, the greater it detracts us from having it. Let's learn three keys to have best of life on this auspicious occasion of Diwali.
The first key to attain prosperity is 'Hard Work'. Efforts are never wasted it is only the factor that some efforts gives immediate results and some takes time to yield. In today's technological arena, we are moving away from this foundation step of success. No doubt, we should use technology for faster throughput, but at the same time we should not exhaust from working. Hard working is ability to work without a socio frame of mind. Sindhi Community, Bihar and UP Bhayyas are some of classic example of Hard Workers. Whatever the work may be, they never feel embarrassed and are always ready to go for it.
Second and most significant stage of winning life is Patience. Patience is bitter but its fruits are always sweet. Many of us work well, but they lack ability to wait for results. Let us write a fact of life in our mind: Everyone is going to get results in life, the only thing is we should keep concentrating on our hard works and let the results come their ways and means. Another factor that plays key role in killing patience is today's race for gaining luxury in life. FMCG Sector has hampered our life with never ending thrust for achieving resources. This leads to desire for more and more funds desire. If we want to be happy in our life, we must control our desires at some point. Make a simple equation: Relate desire for buying luxury resources with their must in your routine life. A Mother is one of classic example of patience. She is one who helps her child grow, teaches him facts of life, yet she never expects something in life.
Third and another major factor is satisfaction. Everyone has some resources to earn his/ her bread. What we need is control over our desires. Satisfaction is pathway to Nirvana in life. The more satisfied we are the best sleeps we have. So let's try and implement this HPS equation in our life.

Every Distributor and Outlet owner has X amount of stock already in holding at the time of price hike. These Distributors charges customers with new effected price even for old stocks.
