Money - To help you keep it all in perspective here are some thought-provoking quotes about money:-

 


Money is important but people are much more important. When we’re infirm or incapacitated, it’s our loved ones we’ll turn to for help. Yes you can buy a dog but you can’t buy the wag of its tail, as the saying goes.

So the message today is that you should never chase money at the expense of your loved ones.

If you do, you’ll regret it in time I’m sure.

1.    It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy. ~George Lorimer


2.    You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you. ~Maya Angelou


3.    Buy when everyone else is selling and hold until everyone else is buying. That’s not just a catchy slogan. It’s the very essence of successful investing. ~J. Paul Getty


4.    If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. ~Henry Ford


5.    How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case. ~Robert G. Allen

6.    The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money. ~Author Unknown


7.    The individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator. ~Benjamin Graham


8.    Every time you borrow money, you’re robbing your future self. ~Nathan W. Morris


9.    Never spend your money before you have it. ~Thomas Jefferson


10. It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for. ~Robert Kiyosaki


11. Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted. ~Albert Einstein


12. A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them. ~Henry Kravis


13. Don’t take no for an answer. If you’re happy to sit at your desk and not take any risk, you’ll be sitting at your desk for the next 20 years. ~David Rubenstein


14. If you took our top fifteen decisions out, we’d have a pretty average record. It wasn’t hyperactivity, but a hell of a lot of patience. You stuck to your principles and when opportunities came along, you pounced on them with vigour. ~Charlie Munger


15. When buying shares, ask yourself, would you buy the whole company? ~Rene Rivkin

Beautiful Story - Know Your Worth


A father said to his son: You graduated with honor, here's a ' Volkswagen Sedan ' that I bought many years ago... It's over 50 years old, but before I give it to you, take it to the parking lot of the center and tell them ′′ I want to sell it ′′ and find out how much they offer you.
The son went to the used car parking lot, came back to his dad and said: They offered me 2.000 because it looks too worn out. Dad said, ′′ Take him to the pawn shop ".
The son went to the pawn shop, came back and said to him; ′′ Pawn shop only offered 1.000, supposedly because the car is too old ′′
Finally dad asked his son to go to an old car club and show them the car.
The son took the car to the club, came back and said to his father: Some people in the club offered 70.000! for him, since it's a ′′ very unique and wanted car among club members ".
The father said to his son: I wanted you to know that the right place values you the right way.
If you are not valued, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place; ′′ Those who know your value are those who appreciate you. Never stay in the place where they don't see your worth...



THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
