@kwanini. hang on there dude and you will. Do not Just work hard, Play smart. And Pray hard.Believe. A Combination of all bring about success. But remember that satisfaction and happiness is the Most crucial thing. It is Paramount.Some of the Millionaires you see around have heavy Burdens you wud rather not carry yourself. Why be a millionaire and have Poor health? Why be a Millionaire and have ountless court cases?
I think people need to read biographies of rich people. I am currently reading the book 'Money Masters of our times' by John Train. I think Buffet is the happiest man in the world because he does not wallow in the consumerism of the typical billionaire. He has not let money affect him for money cannot buy you happiness. Happiness is a state of mind and you dont have to live in Runda to be happy. I am trying to emulate him. I have stayed with the same Nokia phone (slightly above the kabambe) for the last two years. I make a million ksh every month.
I beg to differ. Money can buy you anything including happiness. It's only people with no money that say that money can't buy you happiness.....it can. Having money is a good thing. My opinion. I don't know of anybody that is not looking for money and would not like to have money.....you sound dubious, i will take your assertion that you make a million a month with a grain of salt. I can smell BS from a thousand miles away. If money can't buy you happiness then you are not making enough money. I have found a lot of happiness and a good life making lots of money.... If and when i get kids, i will advice them to make as much money as possible so as to have a good life.
Forget that BS that money is not good, money is great, it makes lives so so so much easier and people a whole lot happier. But maybe that's just me, i might be a different breed from you and everybody else that doesn't derive happiness in money, but i won't apologize or front that i don't find happiness from having money. I do. I keep things real, so To each their own. Why have a kabambe when you "claim" to make a million a month? What's the point of making that money if you can't enjoy it?
Don't compare your life to Buffet's. The guy might not flash money around but i have been to Omaha and the old geezer does live a charmed life. Dines in the best restaurants, travels by private planes, has his kids set up for life, so don't think mr. Buffet is not enjoying his money, he is, just not as extravagantly as some of the other billionaires.
