wealth [Theme] Page 2



Any rich man who started with sixpence and subsequently made sixty thousand pounds constantly asked a perplexed question - why did not all sixty thousand surrounding workers earn sixty thousand pounds each, starting with six pence, and even seemed to reproach them for not accomplished this simple feat. What I did, you can do too. Why don't you do this?

Here's another crazy one. Some pathetic scribe, with a salary of fifteen shillings, burdened with a wife and children, and there he talks about merry Christmastide! It’s time to run away from such people into Bedlam!

Remember this, when you gain fame, when you gain wealth, when you gain position and seniority, people will treat you better, they will keep doors open for you. They will bring you a cup of tea and coffee even if you don't ask for it. They will call you sir and madam and give you things. None of this is meant for you, it's meant for the position you hold, it's meant for the level you've reached, leadership, success or whatever you want to call it. But you will always deserve a plastic cup. Remember this, remember this lesson of humility and gratitude. Just be grateful for them and know that they are not for you forever.

We must think only about the Eternal. The Infinity of Eternity is what awaits every person. We are heading towards death. All. And let’s leave everything: wealth, success, power, fame, honors - everything that we have accumulated on this earth. Everything human will end in nothing. What we take with us will be only the soul and the good that we have done. This is the only wealth that will cross the border of death with us. There is no other.

As you become richer, do not become attached to wealth, realizing that in fact you cannot become its permanent owner: nothing in the world can be completely owned. Understand that you only temporarily own your property.

Rarely in life are there those unique cases when a young, beautiful and kind guy, despite his modesty, strives to find true love that does not depend on material conditions. And surprisingly, fate put him on the path of a sophisticated and charming girl, whose wealth in no way restrains his feelings. Limited dreams of wealth, luxury cars and modern gadgets do not have any significant meaning for him, because he appreciates the unique qualities of his beloved. In his heart lives the desire for a lasting union, mutual understanding and true love, which do not lend themselves to the glitter of money or the accumulation of material achievements.

- Especially in the war. Cowards start a war: they are afraid to live next to the strong, and the weak want to take away all the wealth for themselves. So they start shooting and killing.

If my mistress in her life is different from other women, if she does not walk, if she lives differently than they do, if she is wearing a mantle, which they cannot have, if a fragrance comes from her that is peculiar to her alone, she is to me like it much more.
