moolah................



“Your greatest asset is your earning ability.” Then why would one want to be given their wealth when they can earn it themselves?
One might be born rich, but will he remain rich throughout his life? What one’s parent has done for one, does not count as one’s own work, hence he receives no credit for his riches. “Spending is quick, earning is slow” hence one can easily spend all the money one has inherited, however on the depletion of this quickly used up source, one (unless they can earn) is left to beg. If the wealth left to a person is not all that vast and the person is not thrifty, he can easily become bankrupt in no time. Hence we come back to the same point, one must earn for himself.
To earn is to sustain oneself. To earn one’s living is the most satisfactory thing one can do in one’s life. Also to be able to earn implies that one has some capabilities that one can always fall back on, your richness is not the fruit of someone else’s labour.
“Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed.” Winning a lottery or suddenly finding an Aladdin’s lamp will not sustain one throughout their life. This sort of richness is born of pure luck and is just a temporary phase in one’s life. There is absolutely no guarantee that richness will be thrust upon you hence spending your lifetime waiting for a shower of gold is surely not a sensible idea. It is ideally preferred if one possesses some skill and is hence able to work one’s way towards richness, this makes one rich in experience and knowledge also even if it may take a longer time.
Poverty is supposedly the easiest way to stay content; however it has its drawbacks too. Not being able to support one’s family is not a position any one would want to be in. Thus it is always better to earn more than one spends hence make oneself rich slowly.
To be born rich, to have richness thrust upon you or to never become rich are all easy ways out of a problem. At the end of the day, it is what work that you have done that counts, not what somebody else did. Therefore one must work their way towards richness; the path may be long, and grueling but as always the fruits of labour are sweet as is the satisfaction and joy one gets from self-dependence in financial matters.

Sorry if i sounded too very didactic....................but its my view.............and hey! It's my blog too!!!☺☺

  1. Didactic it most definitely is.

    Having said that, I really love that you blatantly sated something that most of the world prefers not to admit. That the world runs of money, and everyone wants it. Loads of it.

    Also, the raw, uncensored perspective comes straight out of your heart, and that shows.
