一位年輕小男生跟我到泰國求象神，求事業、求財。

到了象神那裡，我問他：「你想問什麼？你想求什麼？」

小男生說：「老師，我想賺錢，我可以自己投資當老闆嗎？我不想再繼續念書，我覺得念書沒有這麼用，我想投資生意賺錢。」

象神說：「你現在還不能當老闆，你一定要繼續讀大學，現在還不能做生意，多學習多看多累積經驗，多累積能力能量，不能輕舉妄動，

小男生執意的說：「我可以先投資小本生意，我跟朋友合開了一間小雜貨店，我慢慢的一邊學做生意，一邊累積經驗，這樣可以嗎？」

象神說：「你不能去做生意，你的錢都會被騙光，你的雜貨店都開了，就這樣就好，不要再投資其他的了。」

小男生說：「我還想要往大一點的生意，在中國做裝修的生意，可以嗎？」

象神說：「不行！現在24歲，要30歲之後才可以，如果你想學做生意，不要拿錢出來，只要人出去學習，做什麼都可以，你出人力，你去學習，就都可以。」

小男生忿忿不平的很想希望可以自己出去闖盪一番事業，其實主要的原因是，他不想念書，找了很宏大的理想抱負，藉口不念書了，該是唸書的時候，就要念書，該把基本的學業完成的時候，就該忍耐著把學業完成，一切都要把該經歷的過程經歷了，才能往下走，順著運往下走，千萬不要在運勢的川流中硬是丟下一顆大石頭，那會激起一陣很大的水花，受到很大的動盪的。

A young guy followed me to Erawan Shrine to seek for wealth and career. When we reached there, I asked him, ” What would you like to ask? What are you seeking for?”             

The youngster said, “Teacher, I would like to earn money. Can I be my own boss? I don’t intend to continue with my studies as I feel that it is of no use. I would like to do some business and earn some money.” 

Elephant God said, ” You cannot be a boss now. You must continue with your studies and go to university. Meanwhile, you should learn more so as to gain more knowledge and experience. Don’t act hastily.” 

The young guy insisted and said, ” Can I do some small business? I have started a small shop with my friends. Can I study and at the same time do some business to gain some experience ? Will that be fine?” 

Elephant God said, “You can’t do business now. You’ll be cheated of all your money. Since you have opened the shop then let it be but don’t invest and venture in other business anymore.” 

The young chap said, “I would actually like to something bigger, to do some renovation business in China, can I?” 

Elephant God said, ” No! You have to wait till you are 30, you are only 24 years old now. You can learn how to do business but you must not put in any capital. Whatever you do is absolutely fine, just put in your effort and gain some experience. 

The young chap felt uneasy as he’s anxious to establish his business. Actually, the real reason is that he doesn’t want to continue with his studies so he gave many reasons and excuses. When it is time to study, he should study. This is a basic criteria so he should just strive on to complete his education. He has to go through whatever it is before he can succeed. He must follow the flow otherwise he may have to pay a very huge price.
