Wealth and Us

Wealth ≠ Money

When we talk about wealth, it does not solely represent the money we have on hands and/or in our accounts.



Wealth = Happiness + Health + Money

In a lot of people's mind, “money = happiness” because money allows them to own big car(s), big house(s), branded stuff, fine dining and the list goes on. And, hence “no money = no happiness”. It is true that no money brings some sort of sorrow. However, money is not everything. Money does not bring the real and eternal happiness.

Money brings only short-term happiness

We got to know that:
 Money can buy house, but not home.
 Money can buy bed, but not sleep.
 Money can buy clock, but not time.
 Money can buy book, but not knowledge.
 Money can buy food, but not appetite.
 Money can buy position, but not respect.
 Money can buy blood, but not life.
 Money can buy medicine, but not health.
 Money can buy people, but not friends.
 Money can buy insurance, but not safety.

A man with many desires will never be contented. A person who's never contented can never be happy with life.

Learn to slow down the busy pace occasionally. Learn to look back at times. Learn to appreciate. Learn to share. Learn to enjoy the nature of happiness. Learn to be the true self.

Learning is a big part of life.

Happy Labour Day =).
