We are aware that there is a Western world bias in the list but we feel that there is a universal appeal to the underlying traits and habits. How did you score on these 20 habits? What are your keys to success? Please write to us or share your thoughts below or on our Facebook page.
Our take
There is nothing to prove that these habits will definitely make you rich and it can be argued that some bad habits (e.g. junk food) are an outcome of having less money. However, it’s an interesting list that shows how accumulation of wealth and a disciplined life may be related. From our experience, the habits appear to be in common with those of good investors.
The best investors focus on clearly defined goals, with emphasis on knowledge and discipline as tools to achieve these goals. They also know that good investing habits, and not luck, lead to superior returns.
1. Select your investments carefully,
2. invest regularly and
3. review your investments periodically.

case filed reg PM Mrs Indira Gandhi's assasination calling it arranged suicide
The Gujarat high court has dismissed a plea filed in 1986 which had sought to declare former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination by two of her security guards as a 'well-arranged suicide' to facilitate her son Rajiv Gandhi to become Prime Minister.
The plea was filed 29 years ago but it came up for hearing for the first time yesterday and the high court immediately rejected it.
"The prayer of the petitioner is to declare that Mrs Indira Gandhi committed suicide, which cannot be granted. The petition is accordingly dismissed," a two-judge bench headed by acting Chief Justice V M Sahai observed.
"No one has put in appearance to press this petition," the bench noted.
The plea alleged that the first woman Prime Minister of the country had "committed suicide through arranged murder to give power to her son Rajiv Gandhi as hereditary successor and the elections of 1984 were based on national sacrifice made by India Gandhi."
The high court dismissed the plea filed by Navnitlal Shah, as party-in-person in the stage of admission after around 29 years.
