Why would people want to be rich? Only you yourself have the answer to it.
For myself, it is very simple.
I want to be RICH because i know i can achieve my dreams with it. I can travel around the world as part of my job.I can provide for my family, parents and my brother. I can bring my family to travel. To reward my parents for all their hard work to raise myself and my bro up.
give me one year. this is my promise.
I read this section from ‘Rules of Wealth’ by Richard Templar, and i felt that it will be good to share:
The lovely thing about money is that it really doesnt discriminate. It doesnt care what colour or race you are, what class you are, what your parents did, or even who you thing you are. Each and every day starts with a clean slate so that no matter what you did yesterdau, today begins anew and you have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else to take as much as you want. The only thing that can hold you back is yourself and your own money myths.
We all grow up with the money myths. We get a lot of them from our parents and the way they bring us up.I can still hear my mother saying ‘A penny saved is a penny found’, and to this day I still have no idea what it means. Maybe I’m lucky. My money myths are based on a lot of nonsense like that. But most of us have the following ingrained beliefs:
- Money is the root of all evil
- Money is dirty
- I dont deserve to be rich
- Money is only made by the greedy and dishonest
- Money corrupts
- You mustnt brag about money- never say hw much you earn, are worth or paid for something (unless it is a bargain)
- You cant have money and be ’spiritually pure’
- You lose your friends if you get rich
- You have to work hard to get rich
- Happiness and money make poor bedfellows
- The more you have, the more you’ll want
- It is somehow better to be poor
- I wasnt meant to be rich- if i was i would be have been by now
- Im not the right type to be rich
Get rid of any that you can question and accept are nonsense. Discard any that simply arent true. And chuck out any that stand in the way, hold you back, stop you making some money.
i have read quite a number of self-enrichement books over the years. there is this particular author by the name of Richard Templar who wrote several book of rules which i enjoyed reading. I owned three of his books so far. ‘Rules of Management’, ‘Rules of Work’ and ‘Rules of Wealth’. The book that i am currently reading is the latter, ‘rules of wealth’. I will share some of his quotes or excerpts that are worth taking note of. The first one :
“we all spend on what we think will satisfy us, make us happy. Sometimes it’s very simple: we have a dream and need the money to fulfill it. The dream comes first.”
more to come…..
after 3 yrs, my passion and drive in chasing the dream is as strong as ever or perhaps crazier. I took the risk. A huge one which includes forgoing my degree programme at the moment. I will just have to hope and pray for the best. I believe that I have to do something bout this agony. and i just couldnt afford to just sit there doing nth hoping for things to put in place. a miracle in fact. Although it cost me $$$$. i signed it up without much hesitation .Its either make or break.
i can feel it. i have already taken the first step and the last step will be the time when i crossed that finishing line. Many people failed because they stop chasing the dream. U have to finish the race to complete the race.
i believe i have recovered.
give me one year.
Mad World
Gary Jules (cover of Tears for Fears)
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very

Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
