A Letter to Children: Yourself is your wealth

Child, it is not necessary a bad thing if you want to be very rich when you are young. As long as there is something you desire, you will have the motivation to push your goals forward. Some people want to travel faraway, some want to look pretty, and some want to become a super star. They are just like you; people who have their dreams and with interesting. But when you grow up in age, you have to maintain this ability to know the thing you want, even though it might be very different from what you want for today.

There are five things that I have to tell you. The first thing is that if you want an apple, you need to plant apple trees first. And if you plant apple trees, you need to have apple seeds, thus you also require for land, fertilizer, watering and sunlight. People like Yuan Longping, earned his money is because he has invented hybrid rice; some make big money is because they have designed a new model, such as Ctrip four entrepreneurs; as well as people like Buffett, who got rich because he has been chosen the right company to work for. So, how will you make money then? Do you have a unique vision? Or special insights? Or you believe the hard work can always make an achievement? Or do you have such good social relationships and interpersonal skills that you can ask for others help? In other words, you have to be clear about the thing you are going to make money in the future which you should start looking from the money note itself and going backwards. You have to begin to do some basic tasks, such as picking the seeds, developing the soil and also to consider proper operating skills. Remember this: there will be no apples without planting an apple three.

Secondly, many people want to make money, but only a few come up with wealthy in the end. This is because to earn more money means there will be greater inevitable risks and hard control on such complex matters. In other words, it is not that

    With reality shows taking over airtime nowadays, psychological thrillers in television are a rare genre. Admittedly, it can be a tasking genre to develop a show around, but Vince Gilligan has managed to create, quite possibly one of the greatest shows ever, Breaking Bad. In the pilot episode, the audience was introduced to Walter White, a middle-aged high school Chemistry teacher. He sounds like an average, typical man, but he was introduced in the most peculiar way. Gilligan opened this award-winning show with Walter, underwear-clad, holding a pistol, next to a crashed R.V. in the middle of the desert. The audience questioned this of course. How is this man in such a bizarre situation? What’s even going on? Although the opening was abnormal and confusing at first, Gilligan effectively developed Walter’s character throughout the series, as well as his alter ego known as Heisenberg, using an engrossing story, excellent character development, and the appeal of pathos.…

    When I was younger, I thought money ruled everything but in reality it doesn’t. Working hard doesn’t apply anymore in today’s economy. Most of the people who are wealthy have grown into the money or inherited from their ancestor. People hold the wealthy to a higher standard/power therefore they think they are better than the middle/lower class. Even though money is a great asset to have, it can be a liability. As I read the essay about Tim Blixseth, he was an individual who was not impressed or got excited about how much money he and his family had. He wanted to be low key, an average middle class person who worked hard for what he got not just given. In the story “Living It” he tells us how he would wake up in different locations each night.…

    A lot of times people think of money as a good thing, but really it corrupts. Jonathan Swift had said“A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.” When people gain a lot of wealth most of the time the start to look down on people but in the end it doesn't matter because we all end up the same. Dead. “We all gonna die, we bleed from similar veins.” Tupac Shakur explains this perfectly, no matter who we are we’re going to die because we are the same, human beings. The Great Gatsby by F.

    The Millionaire Next Door

    • 892 Words

    I always believed that you are considered wealthy when you make a high income. According to the authors, most high income earners are not rich, which surprised me. Most people with high incomes fail to accumulate any lasting wealth. They live hyper-consumer lifestyles, they spend their money as fast as they earn it. I always perceived millionaires as living the lavish life with their big sport utility vehicles and huge mansions. Well I was wrong, in order to accumulate wealth, one must not only earn a lot (play “good offense”), but also develop frugal habits (play “good defense”). This book focuses on spending less and earning more, which are required to succeed. Most books only focus on either spending less or earning more but to actually become rich you must do both.…

    “It seems only natural that happiness should flow from having more money. Even if they don’t admit it, people still behave as though it were true. More money means you can have what you want and do what you want.” (Dean 2008). Wealth and possessions do not equal happiness because no matter how much money and gems you have you can not buy feelings, but only comfort, also if you are working hard for more money you are experiencing more stress and negative emotions.…

    In recent events, the word feminism has come up and a new debate has begun to circle around what it means, and how it should be applied to our society today. From statements made by celebrities, as a theme in a popular Beyonce song, and exposed emails from within the film industry, feminism is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance in the form of exposure to a new generation. While most people would agree that any discussion about feminism is good, there is also a circulation of misguided or false ideas of what feminism actually is. Additionally, there have been very public instances that prove that we still have some progress to make in the form of equality feminism aims to bring to various groups of people. Feminist Magazine defines feminism as the movement that “strives to end the discrimination, exploitation, and oppression of people due to their gender, sexual orientation, race, class, and other differences and supports people in being free to determine their own lives for themselves.”…

    Ever since the colonization period in the 1600s, many settlers had come to North America as a land of opportunity. As civilizations became developed in America, many will see that this hope will be realized. After the Civil War and towards the end of the 19th century, America will have became an industrial empire, creating the term “millionaires.” With the discovery of new raw materials and the enhancement of the technological era, many people took on the jobs of becoming businessmen.

    This is but one example of how the mindset of the millionaire is misunderstood and misconstrued. The key point to take away, though, is that wealth is more mindset than mastery of financial strategy. This in turn means that there is more than room to hope for the struggling who wish to become wealthy.…

    Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison and Amancio Ortega are all in a list of the world billionaires. What does these guy do? They are known as an entrepreneurs. Each of them have their own childhood memories. Some of them did not finish their school nor becoming best student among their friends. As I observe, the down fall of someone did not measured base on their performance back then. The measurement are as in this reality. The achievement had shown how well they did manage to become a successful person. Not only for their own benefit, but also for public or user base on their ideals. Their contribution give good impact not only to the nation but also for the world. As the world become a better place to live. The question is what motivates them to become someone in the industry? The entrepreneur possesses a level of commitment and a vision that are easily observed. They are inventive, aggressive, confident, tireless, competitive, and possess an intense level of focus. Best word to describe them are they are genuinely believe in what they are doing and thereby inspire others toward the same goal. Base on the article I do agree with the key factor that motivate the entrepreneurs. The key factors are wealth, intrinsic motivation, and social responsibility. Wealth, in my opinion is something that most of us dream off. Wealth give a great satisfaction after a great hard work. With wealth, it somehow give someone a power to control something they want. But the most important thing is how well do they spent the wealth. Some say that money can buy happiness but when there is no love how do they live in a peace. In other world, the used of the wealth itself can also benefit others. For example, a portion of money can be donate to the welfare.
