Money rules.


 

Money makes the world go round, but will it make you happy?

Most people say that money is the root of all evil… This is not actually true. Money, in fact is the reason why we are still alive.

We need money to buy food, shelter, water, education, and so on. The uses and benefits of money are endless. Owning lots of money will not make you sinful. The truth is we need money for our survival. But owning tons of money and loving money are two different things. If you are currently enjoying abundant flow of cash - good for you and you probably deserve it if you really worked hard for it. But what will you do with all the extra money is also a moral question that affluent individuals should ask themselves. 

Money, like any other assets should be managed properly. It should be earned well and spent well. We should not consider our money as our master. Instead, think of it as our servant. It should not control us, our life, or even our future. Money is just the result of our hard work and not the other way around. Edmund Burke an Anglo-Irish philosopher once said that “if we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.”

But the ultimate question about money is this… can money makes us happy?

If money can make us happy, then why is it that some rich people still miserable? And those who are poor, blissful? This is a simple question but can give you complex answers. Maybe money has no correlation to happiness after all. Acquiring lots of riches will not result to a happy life.

The rule to a happy life, in my opinion, is not to let money rule over you.

Live life!

Dad, you are the best father ever

When I was young you taught me how to read and rhyme, And showed me laughter under the smiling sunshine. I remember that day when I stumbled with pain But you carried me in you arms and the pain was gone. You taught me the meaning of respect, to other beings and to thyself You modeled these traits not only in thy words but by actions on oneself You taught me responsibility to thy spouse and to our dynasty You modeled these through thy affection to my mother and members of our family The greatest kings have conquered the strongest nation But believe me; no king is greater than your affection. As you leave this world we know But the love you’ve showed in my heart entombed Today I may be sad because you said goodbye For the angels in heaven took your soul up in the sky If mothers are the best, fathers are the greatest. Thank you for your fatherly love, it was the best. . Image Source: Wikipedia
