They also do not understand the amount of money that is required to live a normal life. This occurs for a very simple reason—parents provide teenagers with everything. Teenagers, therefore, live in a dream world. The moment you exit this dream world and have to live life yourself, your opinions about money will change dramatically. Money talks I can live without money, but I cannot live without love. Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant. The man who has no money is poor, but one who has nothing but money is poorer. Men make counterfeit money; in many more cases, money makes counterfeit men. A boxer makes a comeback for two reasons: either he's broke or he needs the money. Wealthy people and poor people can both be virtuous. Money is insignificant. Money is the most important thing in the world. The way a person handles money indicates his or her general character.

The actress says her dad insists on giving her money – and while she may not need it, it makes her feel normal. 'He still gives me a monthly allowance,' she tells Digital Spy. ‘He insists. And to be honest, I appreciate that. It makes me feel more normal.' The 17-year-old is not allowed to touch her fortune until she’s 21. ‘[Dad] really helps me because he doesn't want me to live this completely different, crazy life. I'm not spoilt.’ Also Prateik Babbar is making more money than most guys of his age, but his aunt Manya Patil says that he still gets the same pocket money at home that he did before he became an actor with the hit film 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na'. "Though Prateik's life as a professional has changed and he's making quite a lot of money, at home we haven't allowed him to acquire any outward signs of his new status. So yes, Prateik still gets the same pocket money that he used to before he became a star," said Manya.

READING / REACTING My 6 year old son has a tuck shop at his school and now and then he asks me for money to buy a treat at lunch time. Once in a while I oblige. On the days that I don't think it is necessary, he tells me that his friends all get pocket money and that they don't have to ask their parents for money to buy things at the tuck shop, they just use their pocket money when they want for what they want. So, how old is old enough to get pocket money? In my books, it is probably somewhere around age 10 and should be well monitored so that it is not used for tuck shop, but for more useful expenditures like giving to charity, or saving up for something bigger than one week's pocket can afford, but I'm interested to hear other peoples points of view on this. Does getting pocket money teach children the value of money? and from what age can this lesson be taught with confidence that the message is getting through? Who is the writer? What does she complain about? What is she wondering about? What’s her personal point of view? Do you agree with her? POSSIBLE ANSWER: No, I don’t think so. The value of money can only be learned from real life experience of earning, saving and spending it properly. I don't think any amount of parental talking about money value can really get through, until our children start living on their own and by their own means. Equally, they'll be able to fully understand and appreciate the act of giving and sharing only when they give away what they've earned themselves. Until then, I guess we can give them pocket money as soon as they are capable of explaining themselves in a shop, but should not expect too much understanding or appreciation. It's becoming very popular to pay kids some pocket money for doing domestic chores, in order to teach them the value of money, but personally I would be very much against introducing this sort of commercial transactions into my own family life. To me, it somehow weaken what the family is all about.

  13. 13. It's becoming very popular to pay kids some pocket money for doing domestic chores, in order to teach them the value of money, but personally I would be very much against introducing this sort of commercial transactions into my own family life. To me, it somehow undermines what the family is all about. For any seventeen year old, to star as a leading actress in a Hindi film can only be a distant dream today. But for Hansika, it was never going to be difficult. After seeing her on television and in few films as a child artist a few years ago, now, Hansika is barely recognizable. In the past few years, however, she seems to have turned things around, making better personal and professional choices. Now that you've grown up from a little girl of small screen to a leading lady of Bollywood films, how would you describe your journey so far? I'd describe my journey in a very positive way and a lucky manner. As a child artist, I was very lucky that I got to do big small screen serials. But there is always time to move ahead especially when you grow up. I was in the 9th standard when I left television because my 10th board exams needed me to study very hard. In that process, I grew up and while I was in my 11th standard, I got to do my first film with Himesh Reshammiya, Aap Kaa Surroor. So the journey for me has just begun. Wait and watch, there's a long way to go. Aap Ka Suroor was a very serious film but your second big release Money Hai Toh Honey Hai seems to be a complete transition from a serious role to a funny one. Do you associate at all with the character you're portraying in this film? Of course yes. This is the closest character I can come to with to my real life because I play a role of Ashima Kapoor who is the best and the top most actress of small screen and how she wants to become even bigger in the world of Bollywood. She finally gets the big break but only gets roles of saas and bahu types because of her small screen success. It's really funny. You will see me at my best in Money Hai Toh Honey Hai. Why leave the small screen when you could have grown bigger and better in television? It was never about growing bigger or better. It was about making the right decisions. My mom had already told me to concentrate more on my studies and complete my 10th boards and then again think of pursuing my career. It makes a lot of difference if you are educated. I have no regrets quitting small screen because I cherish every bit of my time I had dedicated to the television for three whole years. You played a small girl in the film Jaago which also starred Manoj Bajpai. What was his reaction when he saw you all grown up to become a lead actress opposite Govinda? His mouth was wide open and he was zapped. He said, "Is it you Hansika?". And I said, "Yes it's the same me." Manoj is a brilliant actor and has matured over the years and so have I. But he treated me in the same way and manner as he treats his other co-actors and gave me the same space as others. I was really touched by his gestures. He is simply great and not many know that he can do excellent comedy. Now let's talk about Govinda. What was it like to work with Indian Film Industry's one of the finest and the best dancers and comic talents? He is a gem of a person and a complete gentleman. I am very fortunate to have got my second film with such an experienced and a good co-artist. He has actually helped me a lot to grow as an actor too. Chi Chi is not like a father figure who gives advices as to this is how you should work and act. He is equal to each and everybody. Whether it's Upen Patel, Celina, Aftab or Manoj. He will come up to you and motivate you to do better and will say, "You could have done it better." Such is his persona. Was there a moment that you forgot your lines opposite the highly experienced Govinda?
  14. 14. I am not bad at forgetting lines. Actually, if anyone of us would make a mistake or crack a joke or give an expression, we all would just burst out laughing out loud and then tears would come out of our eyes. Infact, we would do the same if there was no reason what so ever. Strange isn't it? What about Ganesh Acharya, who shares the same story as you do. His first film too was a serious affair called Swami? I know Ganesh since childhood. My first film's song, Tera Mera Milna was choreographed by Ganesh. He is a beautiful person. When I saw Swami which was directed by him, I knew that this is not Ganesh. But when I heard his second film which he narrated to me in Germany while shooting Aap Kaa Surroor, I knew from the word go that he had made my character by keeping me in mind. Not to forget, both our families are really close to each other. Money Hai to Honey Hai brings out his true personality. THEA Reading Comprehension Practice Questions Read the following passage, and then answer the questions that follow. How a man uses money - makes it, saves it, and spends it - is perhaps one of the best tests of practical wisdom. Although money ought by no means to be regarded as a chief end of man's life, neither is it a trifling matter, to be held in philosophic contempt, representing as it does to so large an extent, the means of physical comfort and social well-being. Indeed, some of the finest qualities of human nature are intimately related to the right use of money; such as generosity, honesty, justice, and self- sacrifice; as well as the practical virtues of economy and providence. On the other hand, there are their counterparts of avarice, fraud, injustice, and selfishness, as displayed by the inordinate lovers of gain; and the vices of thriftlessness, extravagance, and improvidence, on the part of those who misuse and abuse the means entrusted to them. "So that," as is wisely observed by Henry Taylor in his thoughtful 'Notes from Life,' "a right measure and manner in getting, saving, spending, giving, taking, lending, borrowing, and bequeathing, would almost argue a perfect man." Comfort in worldly circumstances is a condition which every man is justified in striving to attain by all worthy means. It secures that physical satisfaction, which is necessary for the culture of the better part of his nature; and enables him to provide for those of his own household. Nor ought the duty to be any the less indifferent to us, that the respect which our fellow-men entertain for us in no slight degree depends upon the manner in which we exercise the opportunities which present themselves for our honourable advancement in life. The very effort required to be made to succeed in life with this object, is of itself an education; stimulating a man's sense of self- respect, bringing out his practical qualities, and disciplining him in the exercise of patience, perseverance, and such like virtues. The provident and careful man must necessarily be a thoughtful man, for he lives not merely for the present, but with provident forecast makes arrangements for the future. He must also be a temperate man, and exercise the virtue of self-denial, than which nothing is so much calculated to give strength to the character. John Sterling says truly, that "the worst education which teaches self denial, is better than the best which teaches everything else, and not that." The Romans rightly employed the same word (virtus) to designate courage, which is in a physical sense what the other is in a moral; the highest virtue of all being victory over ourselves. 1.
