Pisces, If you want inspiration try ‘Freedom at Midnight’ by Larry Collins and Dominique LaPierre. It describes how one man with a dream and plenty of determination took on the British Empire and won. What’s more his approach was not to take up arms and fight, but the exact opposite. He took down the Empire without lifting a finger in anger.

If one man can have the courage and vision to take on the might of the British Empire for what he truely believed in, then buying investment properties looks positively trivial!

What is interesting in the case of Gandhi is that he approached the problem from a new angle. Rather than trying to beat the British by rallying fellow citizens to arms, he took the route of non-violence. He certainly rallied the citizens, but did so in a new and innovative way. This is what put the Empire on the back foot. They did not know how to react and were compelled to leave India.

Unfortunately, as you know, the story did not have the happiest of endings. However, the fragmentation of India was more to do with politics and greed. The lessons however, are clear:

1. Determination, courage and vision are good allies.
2. Find new and innovative solutions to problems.

Try the book, it is a great story.
