A rant about life in third world country. What you say?

[Human Mint]

@Kalki Avatar Most of the time we treat other countries as a generalization of ours, while the differences are completely remarkable.

Said that, I find attractive the idea to change countries and spend some years on each, just to fully grasp what every culture is about.

There is too much population

And there is over competition

The only way is to work hard to beat the competition or move to a country where competition is reasonable

You need to look at the positives. A large population also means a large market. If you can do your market research and create a product or service that fits the needs of the market, you can end up as a millionaire or billionaire. 

You can see many dollar billionaires and millionaires coming up in India each day, rags to riches stories, who were mentally strong and positive enough to build up their businesses from scratch to business empires.

A local billionaire I know used to do hard manual work in his youth hoisting large gunny sacks of goods to his warehouse while he was building up his business from scratch , and not able to provide for labor costs back then.

Action choreographer Veeru Devgan who later became a millionaire in his own right, used to live in his car at the early stages of his career as he could not afford the high rents then. 

Oscar winning director Satyajit Ray used to direct award winning and financially successful films on microscopic budgets, as he used to direct, write screenplay, do the music scores , casting process, editing and designing publicity material all by himself. This was due to  multiple diverse skills he learnt and developed diligently so as to reduce production costs. Forbes had named him as the top ten directors of all time.

B.K.S.Iyengar was stated by doctors in his time that he will not survive beyond 20 due to his multiple diseases.  He learnt Hatha yoga from his brother-in-law, practiced diligently to improve his health, taught the same to the world to develop a successful teaching career earning wealth and fame, and later died at the ripe age of 95. 

Developing skills, going beyond your comfort zone willingly, application and courage can enable you to be successful in your chosen endeavor.
