Aniket sat at the top of the long, polished table, his fingers tracing lightly over the edge of it as he watched his family members. The room was a minimalist design marvel, reflecting carefully and deliberately lived lives. This is an environment that has been built on precision rather than excess. From shining soft lights to the shiny surface, all was so chosen and thought through for presenting the approach of the family both to wealth and to journey. Every step forward is here. Every step forward has been a step forward here toward success.
Beside him sat his mother, a woman of grace and poised deportment, bright-eyed for opportunity. The father was composed and unruffled at home; there he held a calm head in family affairs. The brother, the ever energetic, ever ready man, was jotting down ideas of future plans they were to pursue, but sister sat, watchful play of conversation, and with methodical patience awaited her word to enter into the scene.
It was silent in the room, yet full of tension in the air. They had reached the critical point of something huge; their family fortune was rising, and with that came the weight of responsibility.
"We talked about the currency system," he said softly. "Now is the time to do something about it. We must learn not just what wealth we have but how to build from it. What is the first step?"
Aniket looked at his father. "We need to focus on the core of our strength. Technology and innovation. That is where we will make our mark."
His mother agreed by nodding her head. "We have seen the world shift toward technology. Makes sense to begin there. But we must be careful. We cannot be careless about it."
His sister continued, "We need to prepare for every step. With money, we can be liberal, being careful but not forget that money doesn't promise we will get through."
Aniket smiled, aware of the tension. Part of their life-it had to be careful choice after choice, making their technologies selection, for them not really being utilized themselves. They couldn't help but fail at that stage.
His brother leaned over, his eyes aglow. "What about real property? With all the money we are getting, we also could do some land purchasing. The World is changing and the Land will eventually be a resourceful tool."
"Real estate and technology," his father said to himself. "A great combination. But as always, we proceed with caution."
It grew to be a prudent deliberation of decisions. The family would deliberate in their approach toward technology, taking nothing unless it's perfect. Their wealth, augmented by Aniket's 100-to-one advantage, would now be used not only to grow but to caution themselves at every step. With every step forward, measured investment would be the catchphrase.
The world around them was changing—it was advancing at a pace that was never seen till then. The technology, as it were in the mortal world, was still very nascent; but Aniket and his family had caught wind of what was to arrive for the future. Weath provided the wherewithal of bringing forward the future to the present. Yet risks abounded, and with family hallmark of cautiousness, Aniket was geared for the same.
With this thought, the meeting would leave Aniket's mind wandering off to the future. This money they were earning was a fragment of something much greater. Every decision they would make today would not just determine their future but change history as well.
It will have an engine that will make up to take a ride on such momentum. Me started small, said Aniket decisively and clearly. "Technology and real estate form the base. We begin from very small, achievable ventures, and as would increase resources, so shall those ventures. We ain't rushing."
All family members nodded in unison, in agreement. All these was just the initial stride into a new adventure measured, cautious but directed; And it was but starting.
