Become
Rich
Lead a rich life
Being rich means different things to different people. To a
family that lives on $100.00 per month in one of the poor countries, a
middle class American or European family that lives on $3,000.00 per month
is a very rich family. Yet, a middle class family doesn’t see itself as
rich, because they compare themselves to their wealthy neighbors that live
on $20,000.00 per month. If
you ask these wealthy neighbors if they are rich, most of them will tell
you that they are not: “ Bill Gates is rich, not us, there are so many
things that we can’t afford”.
Being rich is a state of mind.
If you constantly think about money, how much
you have, how much you need, are you going to lose it, how can you make
more, you are very poor. If you are grateful for what you have, enjoy it
and share it, you are very rich.
You can be rich with whatever amount of money
you have.
Love yourself and people around you. Pamper yourself; let yourself enjoy
things that are priceless, and things that are pricey. Share with those
around you, it will make you feel rich. People will share with you too.
You feel safe when you are among people that can rely on each other. There
is a saying: “ Everything you give will find countless ways back to
you”. (Everything means the good and the bad)
Learn to manage your money.
 |
Don’t
spend more than you make. |
 |
Don’t
buy things you don’t need, just because they are on sale, shop
smart. It is better to buy one pare of shoes that you really like
and that are good quality, than two pairs of cheap shoes that you will
not use, or that will fall apart. |
 |
Don’t
buy things because your friends have them, or because they are
popular. |
 |
Spend
your money on what makes you happy, not on what makes you popular. |
Make as
much money as you need.
Making
money is very difficult if you are focused on money itself. You will spend
your life doing what you don’t enjoy; you will feel your job as a
burden. If your job is a burden to you, you will not be very good at it.
If you don’t excel at your job, you can’t make a lot of money.
Making money is very easy if you are focused on what you are doing. Find
your calling, something that you enjoy very much, something you always
wanted to do. If you love your job, you will give it everything you have
and it will not seem difficult to you. If you put all your effort in what
you do, you will succeed, and money will come.
You say: “ Bill Gates is rich”. Yes he is, and he has a lot of money
too. Bill Gates comes from a wealthy family. He was sent to good collage
by his family to become somebody and to make a good life for himself. He
went against everything he had to chase a very new and a very questionable
idea, to make software. Although many smart people of that time told him
that he will not get far with his idea, he did not give up. He didn’t do
all this for money. At the time his idea did not look very profitable. He
did all this because deep in his heart he believed that he had a brilliant
idea that will help the world. He put all his effort into this idea, and
he became somebody, and the money came.
You don’t become rich by wanting to have
a lot of money. You become rich by wanting to make this world a better
place.
